2003 IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference:
Symposium on Data Base Management in Wireless Network Environments
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):
Authors MUST submit a short abstract (approximately 150 words in the EDAS web site form ) AND an extended abstract (up to 2 pages) also submitted through the EDAS web site. The extended abstracts are soft copy in MS Word or PDF file formats. The submission must include the name, complete mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and the email address of the author(s). Extended abstracts should be submitted electronically (MS Word or PDF) by March 24, 2003.
