 AIMS & TOPICS OF INTERESTS:

 This is the second of a series of workshops that aim to act as a bridge
 between  the  data management and  the  mobile  computing  communities.
 The 1st MobiDE workshop took place in Seattle, Aug 1999, in conjunction
 with MobiCom 1999. The workshop will serve as a forum  for
researchers
 and  technologists  to  discuss  the  state-of-the-art,  present  their
 contributions,  and set future directions in data management for mobile
 and wireless  access.  The  topics  of interest  include  but  are  not
 limited to:

 - pervasive computing
 - sensor databases and networks
 - data caching, replication and view materialization
 - consistency maintenance, inconsistency management and availability
 - transaction migration, recovery and commit processing
 - mobile transaction models and management
 - mobile agent models and languages
 - wireless multimedia systems
 - mobility awareness and adaptability
 - data publication modes: push, broadcast and multicast
 - location dependent data access and queries
 - disconnected operation and weak connectivity
 - data server models and architectures
 - database issues for moving objects: storing, indexing
 - Quality of Service for mobile databases
 - mobile access to new form of data and web
 - prototype design of  mobile databases

 The  workshop will  be  organized  in   a manner designed   to  foster
 interaction and   exchange of ideas   among the participants.  Besides
 paper presentations, time will be allocated to open discussion forums,
 informal  discussions and   panels.  In addition    to regular papers,
 vision or    work-in-progress  papers are also   invited  to stimulate
 debates  on open problems and challenges.    Proposals for panels are
 also solicited.  Panel topics on emerging  or even provocative topics
 that will generate lively discussions are especially welcome.
