Call for Industry Track Papers


The 2011 International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2011), to be held in Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden (June 6-9, 2011) solicits innovative industrial experiences related to data management in ubiquitous, pervasive and mobile cloud computing.

Since the first conference was organized, the amount of mobile data available has exploded, and the use of it has changed significantly. Data from mobile users, even when anonymized, is a significant strategic asset to companies. At the same time, legislation and user expectations raise significant hurdles to the use of the data, which must be met.

The industrial session will focus on the use of data management in mobile systems, such as the use of Hadoop, MapReduce, and other advanced database techniques for data mining; applications of data mining such as movement and demographic tracing; user, business and legal requirements for anonymization and privacy of mobile data and how to reconcile conflicting requirements; tools and techniques to visualize mobile data and results from processing; and related topics.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

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 sensor and mobile ad hoc networks
    - Data management in mobile peer-to-peer networks
