CALL FOR PAPERS

6th International Workshop on
"MOBILITY IN DATABASES AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS" 
www.umr.edu/~madrias/mdds'03.html
in conjunction with the
14th International Conference on Database 
and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'2003)
http://www.dexa.org/ 

September 1-5, 2003
Prague, Czech Republic 

        Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society 


AIMS & SCOPE

Wireless communication technologies provide a pervasive base 
for mobile computing. As the mobile computing technology matures, 
millions of people are become mobile users communicating with one 
another and accessing various information resources. Mobile computing 
involves mobility of users, hardware, software and data. With emergence 
of wireless sensor computing, new issues arise with respect to storing, 
processing and managing these continuously changing data. 

The focus of this workshop is on issues in mobile systems and databases; 
in particular objective is to focus more on new emerging issues involved 
with respect to pervasive and sensor computing. The aim is to bring 
together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of mobile 
computing, mobile databases, and building advanced infrastructures and 
applications. The idea is to discuss systems research and development 
skills involving all aspects of the mobile computing paradigm. Papers 
dealing with theoretical interests, speculative ideas, and solid research 
foundation and reporting implementation and practical results are solicited. 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Data models for mobile information systems
* Impact of mobility in distributed applications
* Software architectures for mobile distributed computing systems
* Wireless communications support for mobile applications
* Infrastructure for mobile computing research
* Mobile database management and mobility-aware data servers
* Mobile transaction and workflow management & models
* Data & process migration, replication/caching and recovery
* Mobile agents and code
* Moving Objects
* Mobile Web services
* User interface management for handheld devices
* Resource allocation and management in mobile computing environment
* Sensor data management
* Pervasive and Context-aware Computing

  
The workshop will be organized in a manner designed to foster interaction 
and exchange of ideas among the participants.
