[AIM and SCOPE]

The tremendous advances in wireless communication and mobile 

computing technologies have created a new computing and 

communication environment that provides services anytime and 

anywhere for everyone. Such an environment enables users to 

access a wide range of services and applications using a large 

variety of mobile and ubiquitous devices (e.g., cell phones, 

handheld computers, and so on). In order to accelerate this 

trend in the future, further progresses of the researches on 

wireless and pervasive computing, especially on data management, 

are necessary.



The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and 

researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a 

forum for discussion and technical presentations on the current 

researches and future research directions related to this hot 

research area.
