Forwarded message from [A.Zaslavsky@monash.edu.au] sent originally on Wed, 15 Dec 1999 11:42:25 +1100: : CALL FOR PAPERS : : 3rd International Workshop : "MOBILITY IN DATABASES AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS" : : in conjunction with the 11th International Conference : on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'2000) : : http://www.dexa.org/ : : September 6 - 8, 2000 : Greenwich, UK : : Please bookmark MDDS'2000 home page : http://www.ct.monash.edu.au/DPMC/mdds/mdds2000/ : and visit frequently for news. : : Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. : : AIMS & SCOPE : ------------ : : Together with wireless communication technologies portable computers : and personal digital assistants (PDA) provide a pervasive base for : mobile computing. As the mobile computing technology matures, : millions of people will become mobile users communicating with one : another and accessing various information resources. In business : environments, the ability to access critical data regardless of : location and time is even more crucial because corporate data must : be available to applications running on mobile workstations. : : On the other end of the spectrum, database and distributed systems : are instrumental in managing distributed information resources in : fixed and wireless network environments. Interoperability and : standardization have become the major features. However, existing : DBMS and distributed systems lack the mechanisms for dynamically : changing the environment where applications execute and the way they : communicate over a heterogeneous network. Mobile computing : therefore involves mobility of users, hardware, software and data. : : The focus of this workshop is on mobility issues in distributed : systems and databases. The objective of this workshop is to bring : together researchers and practitioners with mobile networking : background, database research interests, advanced applications and : distributed computing systems research and development skills to : discuss all aspects of emerging mobile computing paradigm. Both the : theoretical papers and papers 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 : * Theoretical frameworks for mobility : * Software architectures for mobile distributed computing systems : * Wireless communications support for mobile applications : * Infrastructure for mobile computing research : * Object oriented technologies for mobile computing : * Mobile database management and mobility-aware data servers : * Operating system support for mobile computing : * Mobile transaction and workflow management & models : * Management of network & mobile computers heterogeneity : * Data & process migration, replication and recovery : * Mobile agents and code : * Distributed mobile objects : * Wireless multimedia systems : * Mobile access to Internet services : * User interface management for mobile information systems : * Resource allocation and management in mobile computing environment : : IMPORTANT DATES : --------------- : : Submission deadline: 11 February 2000 : Notification of acceptance: 24 March 2000 : Camera-ready copies: 1 May 2000 : Workshop: 6-8 September 2000 : : SUBMISSION DETAILS : ------------------ : : Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing : original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be in English : and must not exceed 5000 words (12 pages, single spaced, font Times : 11-12 points). The cover page should include the name and : affiliation of the author(s), contact address/es, e-mail, fax and : telephone. The accepted papers will be 5 pages long and conform to : IEEE guidelines. Authors are invited to send either 5 copies of : their paper by courier mail or a (preferred) electronic submission : (PostScript, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Microsoft Word) to : : Arkady Zaslavsky : (DEXA'2000 MDDS Workshop) : School of Computer Science and Software Engineering : Monash University : 900 Dandenong Road, Caulfield East : VIC 3145 Australia : (e-mail): A.Zaslavsky@Monash.edu.au : (phone): +61-3-9903-2479 : (fax): +61-3-9903-1071 : : Please visit the MDDS'2000 web site for electronic submission : instructions.
