==========================================================================

		           CALL FOR PAPERS

   8th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM'07)

		  Mannheim, Germany, May 7-11, 2007

		    http://mdm2007.uni-mannheim.de

			 In Cooperation with
     ACM SIGMOD/SIGMOBILE (pending), IEEE CS (pending) and Infos

==========================================================================

SCOPE:

The rapid advances in computing and wireless communication
technologies along with their integration into commodity devices such
as personal digital assistants, mobile phones, and portable computers
provide a technical infrastructure that enables a broad range of
mobile services and applications. These include scenarios where
seamless access to a computing infrastructure is provided, scenarios
where interaction and data sharing among mobile users occur in mobile
ad hoc networks, and hybrid scenarios that combine these two.

The continued miniaturization of computing devices along with
improvements in the performance/price ratio enable new services and
applications, e.g., in environmental monitoring and transportation.
Although substantial research has been conducted, this area remains
ripe with open research challenges, e.g., in relation to context-aware
computing, such as location-based services or ubiquitous computing
applications; mobile applications in hybrid networks; and consistency
and data processing in sensor networks.

The conference focuses on research contributions within data
management in relation to mobile, wearable, and pervasive computing.
The conference invites submissions within this area. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

* Theoretical foundations of data-intensive mobile computing
* Location and mobility semantics
* Data placement, caching, replication and relocation to support mobility
* Data dissemination in mobile environments
* Data presentation, scripting and exchange languages
* Data management for pervasive computing
* Data management in 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
* Middleware support for ubiquitous computing
* Multimedia delivery in 3G mobile networks
* Context-aware computing and location-based services
* Operating system and network support for mobile devices
* Security and privacy issues of mobile data management
* Integration of sensor networks into pervasive environments
* Quality of service issues for data-intensive services
* Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems
* Data mining for mobile application

SUBMISSION:

The conference invites original, unpublished submissions whose length
does not exceed 8 pages in the camera-ready IEEE style.  Submissions
in PDF format must be uploaded to the conference web-based submission
system. More information will be available at:

		  <http://mdm2007.uni-mannheim.de>.

Industrial/experience papers as well as proposals for panels, demos,
tutorials, and workshops are also sought by October 30th,
2006. Submission instructions will be made available on the conference
homepage.  Industrial/experience papers are expected to discuss novel
aspects of deployed applications and/or prototypes as well as
experiences and standards.
