7th International Workshop on 
"MOBILITY IN DATABASES AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS"
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/mobility/mdds2004

in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Database
and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'2004)

AIMS & SCOPE
 
Wireless  communication  technologies  provide  a  pervasive  base  for
mobile computing. As the mobile computing
technology  matures,  millions  of  people  are becoming mobile users
communicating with one another and accessing
various  information  resources.  Mobile  computing  involves mobility of
users, hardware, software and data. With
emergence  of  wireless  sensor  networks, new issues arise with respect to
storing, processing and managing these
continuously  changing  data  streams.
 
The focus of this workshop is on issues in mobile systems and databases; in
particular  objective  is  to focus more
on new emerging issues involved with respect to pervasive, ubiquitous and
sensor  computing.  The  aim  is  to bring
together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of mobile &
pervasive computing, mobile databases, and
building advanced infrastructures and applications. Papers dealing with
theoretical interests, speculative ideas,
and solid research foundation and reporting implementation and practical
results are solicited.
 
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Data models for mobile information systems
* Impact of mobility in distributed applications and pervasive systems
* Software architectures for mobile distributed computing systems
* Wireless communications support for mobile applications
* Infrastructure for mobile computing research
* Mobile database management and mobility-aware data servers
* Mobile transaction and workflow management & models
* Data & process migration, replication/caching and recovery
* Mobile agents and code
* Moving Objects and location-aware data management
* Mobile Web services
* Adaptability and stability of pervasive systems in ever-changing wireless environments
* User interface management for pervasive devices
* Resource allocation and management in mobile computing environment
* Sensor data management
* Pervasive and context-aware computing
 

The workshop will be organized in a manner designed to foster interaction
and exchange of ideas among the participants.
