AIMS & TOPICS OF INTEREST

This is the sixth of a successful series of workshops that aim to bring
together the data management, wireless networking, and mobile computing 
communities.

The  1st MobiDE  workshop  took  place in  Seattle  (August 1999),  in
conjunction with MobiCom  1999; the 2nd MobiDE workshop  took place in
Santa Barbara  (May 2001), together  with SIGMOD 2001; the  3rd MobiDE
workshop  took place  in  San Diego  (September  2003), together  with
MobiCom  2003; the  4th MobiDE  workshop was  held in  Baltimore (June
2005), in conjunction with SIGMOD 2005; and the 5th MobiDE workshop was
held in  Chicago (June 2006), in conjunction with SIGMOD 2006.  


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 related to mobile and wireless data engineering
include, but are not limited to:

* ad-hoc networked databases
* consistency maintenance and management
* context-aware data access and query processing
* data caching, replication and view materialization
* data publication modes: push, broadcast, and multicast
* data server models and architectures
* database issues for moving objects: storage, indexing, etc.
* m-commerce
* mobile agent models and languages
* mobile database security
* mobile databases in scientific, medical, and engineering applications
* mobile peer-to-peer applications and services
* mobile sensor networks
* mobile transaction models and management
* mobile web services
* mobility awareness and adaptability
* pervasive computing
* prototype design of mobile database
* quality of service for mobile database
* sensor network data management
* transaction migration, recovery and commit processing
* wireless multimedia systems
* wireless web

The workshop  will be organized  in a manner that  fosters interaction
and  exchange   of  ideas  among  the   participants.   Besides  paper
presentations,  time  will be  allocated  to  open discussion  forums,
informal discussions, or panels. In addition to regular papers, vision
or work-in-progress papers that have the potential to stimulate debate
on existing  solutions or  open challenges are  especially encouraged.
Proposals  for panels  on newly-emerging  or controversial  topics are
also especially welcome.
