7th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM'06)
Nara, Japan, May 9-12, 2006 http://www.mdm2006.kddilabs.jp/
********************************************************************* Abstract submission deadline is October 25, 2005 (Tue). Paper submission deadline is November 1, 2005 (Tue). *********************************************************************
Sponsored by: IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering (TCDE) The Database Society of Japan (DBSJ) Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE)
SCOPE:
The strong growth in wireless communications and the ever increasing availability of mobile multi-purpose devices have created a global computing environment that plays a key role in the daily activities of millions of people. Users communicate, work, and confer using a wide range of devices all connected via an array of communication networks that provide voice and data access regardless of geographic position. This infrastructure aggregation presents a number of challenges especially when it comes to data-intensive applications: scale, variable and intermittent connectivity, provision of location-dependent applications, bandwidth/power consumption, device size limitations, and multimedia delivery across hybrid networks. Conventional issues in data management have to be thought and evaluated anew in this rapidly changing environment. Non-traditional issues including semantics of data, location-centric data services, broadcast and multicast delivery, data availability techniques, security of data, as well as privacy questions have to be addressed. MDM'06 focuses on challenges and opportunities for data management and access technology in the evolving world of mobile, wearable, and pervasive computing.
TOPICS OF INTERST:
* Theoretical foundations of data-intensive mobile computing * Location and mobility semantics * Data placement, caching, replication and relocation to support mobility * Data broadcasting/dissemination in mobile environments * Data presentation, scripting and exchange languages * Data management for ubiquitous/pervasive/wearable computing * Data management in sensor and mobile ad hoc networks * Data stream processing in mobile/sensor networks * Resource advertising and discovery techniques to support mobility * Metadata management and exchanges * Query processing and optimization for mobile users * Transactions and workflows in mobile computing * Middleware support for mobility * Web access and Internet applications using mobile devices * Context-aware computing and location-based services * Adaptation of user interface and content * Mobile agent platforms and ubiquitous computing applications and systems * Operating system and network support for mobile devices * Security and privacy issues for ubiquitous systems * Location tracking of vehicles and moving objects * Quality of service issues for data-intensive services * Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems * Data mining for mobile application * Resource indexing and overlay networks * Publish-subscribe approach in mobile computing
PAPER SUBMISSION:
