DIAMOND 2010 - International Workshop on Data Intensive Applications in Mobile and Distributed Environments (DIAMOND 2010)

The rapid technological advances in mobile devices, wireless cellular communications and other emerging technologies such as wireless sensor networks, wireless ad hoc networks and RFIDs has fostered mobile and distributed computing environments, in which data and information are accessed, managed and processed wirelessly and in distributed fashion. These mobile and distributed computing environments presents a number of technical challenges due to its enormous scale, varying network connectivity, mobile device limitation, and user mobility to data intensive applications. Besides, new research issues such as data accesses in asymmetric client/server communication, scarce bandwidth, wireless security and privacy, data semantics and context modeling are raised and need to be addresses effectively.

The first international workshop on Data Intensive Applications in MObile aNd Distributed environments (DIAMOND) held in conjunction with ICPP 2010 provides a high-quality forum for the presentation of latest and original research results on data intensive application development for the evolving world of mobile and distributed computing environments.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:
Context-aware computing, systems and applications
Data management in wireless ad hoc network
Data management in wireless sensor network
Location-based services
Mobile agent
Mobile information retrieval
Mobile social network
Mobile system design, implementation and applications
Moving object databases
Object tracking
Privacy protection in mobile and distributed environments
Performance evaluation of mobile and distributed systems
RFID systems and applications
Theoretical foundations of mobile and distributed computing
User mobility
Wireless data broadcast
Wireless security and privacy
