MDM 2010

Rapid  advances  in  computing  and  wireless  communication technologies along  with their  integration into devices such as  personal  digital assistants, mobile phones, and portable computers provide a technical infrastructure  that  enables abroad range  of mobile services and applications. These include seamless access to computing infrastructure and interaction, sharing and  management  of  data among mobile users in mobile adhoc and sensor networks. Continued miniaturization of computing devices along with improvements in their performance/price ratio enable  new services and  applications  such  as  location-based  services, mobile  data management,  ubiquitous computing  applications, secured  data  sharing  and processing  in sensor  networks, environmental  monitoring and  transportation, etc. Although substantial  research has  been conducted,  several areas in mobile data management remain ripe with open research challenges.

The aim of this conference is to focus on research contributions related to data management in mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:


 * Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems


 * Context-aware computing and location-based services


 * Data management in wireless networks


 * Data management in sensor and mobile ad hoc networks


 * Data management in mobile peer-to-peer networks


 * Data mining for mobile applications


 * Data presentation, scripting and exchange languages


 * Data replication, migration and dissemination in mobile\environments


 * Data stream processing in mobile/sensor networks


 * Indexing and query processing for moving objects


 * Location tracking of vehicles and moving objects


 * Mobile metadata management and exchanges


 * Mobile Web and Agents for mobile applications


 * OS and middleware for mobile and pervasive computing


 * Publish-subscribe approach in mobile computing


 * Quality of service issues for data-intensive services


 * Query processing and optimization for mobile users


 * Resource advertising and discovery techniques


 * Security and privacy issues for ubiquitous systems


 * Theoretical foundations of data-intensive mobile computing


 * Transactions and workflows in mobile environments


 * User interfaces and usability issues form mobile applications


 * Event identification and notification


 * Pervasive biological data management


 * Adaptive location-dependent query processing and optimization


 * Human-centric activity management


 * Data stream security for mobile sensor networks


 * Web data processing and security on mobile device
