Rapid advances in computing and wireless communication technologies along with their integration into devices such as personal digital assistants, mobile phones, and portable computers provide a technical infrastructure that enables abroad range of mobile services and applications. These include seamless access to computing infrastructure and interaction, sharing and management of data among mobile users in mobile adhoc and sensor networks. Continued miniaturization of computing devices along with improvements in their performance/price ratio enable new services and applications such as location-based services, mobile data management, ubiquitous computing applications, secured data sharing and processing in sensor networks, environmental monitoring and transportation, etc. Although substantial research has been conducted, several areas in mobile data management remain ripe with open research challenges.

The aim of this conference is to focus on research contributions related to data management in mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems

* Context-aware computing and location-based services

* Data management in wireless networks

* Data management in sensor and mobile ad hoc networks

* Data management in mobile peer-to-peer networks

* Data mining for mobile applications

* Data presentation, scripting and exchange languages

* Data replication, migration and dissemination in mobile\environments

* Data stream processing in mobile/sensor networks

* Indexing and query processing for moving objects

* Location tracking of vehicles and moving objects

* Mobile metadata management and exchanges

* Mobile Web and Agents for mobile applications

* OS and middleware for mobile and pervasive computing

* Publish-subscribe approach in mobile computing

* Quality of service issues for data-intensive services

* Query processing and optimization for mobile users

* Resource advertising and discovery techniques

* Security and privacy issues for ubiquitous systems

* Theoretical foundations of data-intensive mobile computing

* Transactions and workflows in mobile environments

* User interfaces and usability issues form mobile applications

* Event identification and notification

* Pervasive biological data management

* Adaptive location-dependent query processing and optimization

* Human-centric activity management

* Data stream security for mobile sensor networks

* Web data processing and security on mobile device
