AIMS & TOPICS OF INTERESTS:
 
This is  the fourth of a  successful series of workshops  that aims to
act as a bridge between  the data management, wireless networking, and
mobile computing communities.

The  1st MobiDE workshop  took place  in Seattle,  in August  1999, in
conjunction with MobiCom  1999; the 2nd MobiDE workshop  took place in
Santa Barbara, in May 2001,  together with SIGMOD 2001; the 3rd MobiDE
workshop took  place in  San Diego, in  September 2003,  together with
MobiCom 2003.

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: storing, 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 transaction models and management
* mobile web services
* mobility awareness and adaptability
* pervasive computing
* prototype design of mobile databases
* Quality of Service for mobile databases
* sensor network databases
* 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.

 
IMPORTANT DATES

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. Electronic versions
of the papers will be included in the ACM DL and DiSC'06.

All of the submissions will be handled electronically. Each paper will
be   reviewed   by   at   least   three   members   of   the   program
committee. Detailed  submission information will be posted  on the web
site of the workshop (http://db.cs.pitt.edu/mobide05).

Full research papers should be formatted in the ACM proceedings format
and be at most 8 double-columned pages in 9pt font.
