--------------------------------------------------------------------------- F I N A L C A L L F O R P A P E R S --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th ACM International Workshop on Data Engineering for Wireless and Mobile Access (MobiDE'06) Sunday, June 25, 2006, Chicago, Illinois, USA (co-located with ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2006) http://db.cs.pitt.edu/mobide06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS & TOPICS OF INTEREST Being the fifth in a series of successful workshops, MobiDE'06 aims to act as a bridge between the data management, wireless networking, and mobile computing communities. The previous MobiDE workshops took place in Seattle, WA, in conjunction with MobiCom 1999; in Santa Barbara, CA, together with SIGMOD 2001; in San Diego, CA, together with MobiCom 2003; and in Baltimore, MD, in conjunction with SIGMOD 2005. MobiDE'06 will serve as a forum where researchers and technologists discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in the general area of data management for mobile and wireless access, including sensor networks. The specific focus of MobiDE'06 is on novel mobile applications and services including games, entertainment, and infotainment. The topics of interest related to mobile and wireless data engineering include, but are not limited to, the following. * 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. * location-based and context-aware services * 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 * mobile services: in transportation, agriculture, industries, etc. * pervasive computing * prototype design of mobile data management systems * quality of service for mobile data management * sensor network data management * small footprint data management * transaction migration, recovery and commit processing * wireless multimedia systems * wireless web As in the past, the workshop will be organized in a manner that fosters interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants. In addition to paper presentations, time will be allocated for open discussion forums, informal discussions or panels. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submissions: Wed, Apr 5, 2006 (4:00 p.m. EST) Regular Paper Submissions: Mon, Apr 10, 2006 (4:00 p.m. EST) Notification of acceptance: Mon, May 1, 2006 Camera-ready version due: Mon, May 15, 2006 Workshop date: Sun, Jun 25, 2006 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS In addition to regular, scientific papers reporting on original research results, vision and work-in-progress papers that have the potential to stimulate debate on existing solutions or identify novel challenges are especially encouraged. Proposals for panels on emerging or controversial topics are also especially welcome. Submissions will be handled electronically. Research paper submissions should be formatted in the ACM proceedings format and must not exceed 8 pages in that format. Each paper will be assigned for reviewing to at least three members of the program committee. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will appear in the workshop proceedings, which will be published by ACM. Electronic versions of the papers will be included in the ACM DL and DiSC'07. Detailed submission information will be posted on the workshop web site, db.cs.pitt.edu/mobide06.
