C A L L F O R P A P E R S 4th International ACM Workshop on Data Engineering for Wireless and Mobile Access (MobiDE'05) Sunday, June 12, 2005 / Baltimore, Maryland, USA (colocated with ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2005, pending final approval from ACM) Current Industrial Sponsor: ABC Virtual ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://db.cs.pitt.edu/mobide05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 Regular Paper Submissions: Thu, Mar 24, 2005 (midnight PST) Vision Paper Submissions: Thu, Mar 24, 2005 (midnight PST) Notification of acceptance: Thu, Apr 26, 2005 Camera-ready version due: Thu, May 05, 2005 Workshop date: Sun, Jun 12, 2005 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.
