MDM'09 2009 - The 10th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM'09):Systems, Services and Middleware

CALL FOR PAPERS

===============



Since the debut in December 1999, the MDM series of conferences has
established itself as a prestigious forum for the exchange of innovative and
significant research results in mobile data management. The conference
provides unique opportunities for researchers, engineers, practitioners,
developers, and users to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to
exchange experiences.



In the past decade, we have witnessed significant advances in wireless
communications and mobile technology, along with continuous appearance of
versatile mobile gadgets and rapid growth in sensors and actuators.
Meanwhile, high-precision outdoor and indoor positioning technology has
become mature and available. A global, pervasive computing infrastructure
that may profoundly change the way people live and work is emerging. Mobile
and pervasive computing and communication are enabled at an unprecedented
scale and density.



All these technological developments are expected to bring us a next wave of
information revolution and change our society. However, as we move a step
closer from mobile computing towards the grand vision of pervasive and
ubiquitous computing, a number of challenges need to be overcome, especially
when it comes to data-intensive applications: scale, variable and
intermittent connectivity, location dependence and context awareness,
bandwidth and power consumption, device size limitations, and multimedia
delivery across hybrid networks.



Conventional issues in data management have to be reconsidered and
reevaluated in this rapidly changing environment. Non-traditional issues
including mobility, data semantics, context modeling, broadcast and
multicast delivery, data availability, trust and privacy must also be
addressed effectively. Additionally, starting from 2009, MDM will extend its
scope to cover research issues in mobile systems, services and middleware.
