                                 The 10th International Conference on

           Mobile Data Mangement (MDM'09): Systems, Services and Middleware

                                   May 18-21 2009, Taipei, Taiwan

                         ***** CALL FOR PAPERS *****

 

 

Since the debut in December 1999, the MDM series of conferences has established itself

as a prestigious forum for the exchange of innovative and significant research results

in mobile data management. The conference provides unique opportunities for researchers,

engineers, practitioners, developers, and users  to explore new ideas, techniques, and

tools, and to exchange experiences.

 

In the past decade, we have witnessed significant advances in wireless communications

and mobile technology, along with continuous appearance of versatile mobile gadgets and

rapid growth in sensors and actuators. Meanwhile, high-precision outdoor and indoor

positioning technology has become mature and available. A global, pervasive computing

infrastructure that may profoundly change the way people live and work is emerging.

Mobile and pervasive computing and communication are enabled at an unprecedented scale

and density.

 

All these technological developments are expected to bring us a next wave of information

revolution and change our society. However, as we move a step closer from mobile computing

towards the grand vision of pervasive and ubiquitous computing, a number of challenges

need to be overcome, especially when it comes to data-intensive applications: scale,

variable and intermittent connectivity, location dependence and context awareness, bandwidth

and power consumption, device size limitations, and multimedia delivery across hybrid networks.

 

Conventional issues in data management have to be reconsidered and reevaluated in this

rapidly changing environment. Non-traditional issues including mobility, data semantics,

context modeling, broadcast and multicast delivery, data availability, trust and privacy

must also be addressed effectively. Additionally, starting from 2009, MDM will extend its

scope to cover research issues in mobile systems, services and middleware.
