CALL FOR PANEL:
  

Scope:

The 7th international conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2006) will be held in Nara, Japan on May 9-12, 2006. The objective of MDM 2006 is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners in the area of wireless and mobile data management and access technology so that they can share their findings to promote the pervasive computing technology many steps further.


In addition to paper presentations, demos, etc., MDM 2006 will also exploit the strength of the state of the art panels to achieve its objective. MDM2006, therefore, invites panel proposals on conference themes.

 
Topics of Interests:
      • 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
