           (cooperation sought with ACM SIGMOD)

 
AIMS & TOPICS OF INTERESTS:
 
This is the third of a successful series of workshops that aims to act as a 
bridge
between the data management, wireless networking, and mobile computing 
communities.
The 1st MobiDE workshop took place in Seattle, Aug. 1999, in conjunction with 
MobiCom 1999
and the 2nd MobiDE workshop took place in Santa Barbara, May 2001 together with 
SIGMOD 2001.
The workshop will serve as a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss 
the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in 
data management
for mobile and wireless access.  The topics of interest include, but are not 
limited to:

* pervasive computing 
* sensor databases and networks 
* data caching, replication and view materialization 
* consistency maintenance, inconsistency management and availability 
* transaction migration, recovery and commit processing 
* mobile transaction models and management 
* mobile agent models and languages 
* wireless multimedia systems 
* mobility awareness and adaptability 
* data publication modes: push, broadcast and multicast 
* location dependent data access and queries 
* disconnected operation and weak connectivity 
* data server models and architectures 
* database issues for moving objects: storing, indexing 
* Quality of Service for mobile databases 
* mobile access to new form of data and web services
* prototype design of mobile databases 
* ad-hoc networked databases 
* mobile e-commerce 
* mobile peer-to-peer services

The workshop will be organized in a manner designed to foster interaction and 
exchange of ideas among the participants. Besides paper presentations, time 
will be allocated to open discussion 
forums, informal discussions and panels. In addition to regular papers, vision 
or
work-in-progress papers are also invited to stimulate debates on open problems 
and challenges.  Proposals for panels are also solicited.  Panel topics on 
emerging or even provocative topics
that will generate lively discussions are especially welcome.
