We are rapidly heading towards a world in which the computing infrastructure will contain billions of devices that are carried or worn by their users as they go through their daily routines. Such devices provide data access to mobile users as they move within buildings, cities, or across the globe. This new infrastructure presents tremendous challenges for data management technology including: huge scale; variable and intermittent connectivity; location-centric and location-dependent applications; bandwidth, power, and device size limitations; and multimedia data delivery across hybrid networks and systems. Traditional data management technologies such as query processing, transaction management, workflow, business process management and metadata management must all be reevaluated in this emerging environment. Furthermore, non-traditional issues such as semantics of mobile data, location-dependent querying, broadcast and multicast delivery and caching/pre-fetching techniques must all be addressed. This conference aims to investigate these and other issues, focusing on the challenges and opportunities for data management and data access technology in the rapidly evolving world of mobile computing.
