Recently, the demand for wireless communications has grown tremendously. The need for ``information anywhere anytime" has been a driving force for the increasing growth in Web and Internet technology, wireless communication, and portable computing devices. The field of mobile computing and wireless computing is the merger of these advances in information processing and communication with the aim of providing seamless and ubiquitous computing environment for mobile users. In such wireless environments, database applications are enhanced with useful features of wireless technology and mobility of the clients/nodes provides an interesting new dimension to traditional to distributed computing. On the other hand, wireless communications also put certain limits on database applications due to limited bandwidth and communication disruptions. Hence, introducing wireless communications in database systems also means that specific problems have yet to be solved while some unique features of the technology must be taken into account in order to design optimal systems. 

The purpose of the proposed symposium is to focus on the novel ways in which DBMS architecture and mechanisms can be adapted to such a wireless environment. Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
