                Preliminary Call for Papers 

             3rd ACM International Workshop on 
       Data Engineering for Wireless and Mobile Access
                      (MobiDE03)

                   September 19, 2003
              in San Diego, California, USA 

              http://db.cs.pitt.edu/mobide03

           In conjunction with ACM Mobicom 2003

                Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 
           (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.
