Best papers from MDM 2011 will be invited to submit an extended version with significant
additional content (min 30%) to a special issue on Mobile Data Management of The Journal
of Distributed and Parallel Databases (DAPD).

OTHER ACTIVITIES

A number of events (workshop, demos, panels, seminars, PhD forum, and special industrial
forum) will be organized to cater for all academic activities, apart from research track
activities.
    - Workshops are for fast track publications of papers
    - Demos will present state of the art prototypes
    - Panels will review current research activities and explore new frontiers
    - PhD forum to encourage student participation
    - Industrial forum for companies to present their research and development works.
