Call for Research Papers

The MDM series of conferences, since its debut in December 1999, has established itself as a prestigious forum for the exchange of innovative and significant research results in mobile data management. The term mobile in MDM has been used from the very beginning in a broad sense to encompass all aspects of mobility - aspects related to wireless, portable and tiny devices. The conference provides unique opportunities for researchers, engineers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and to exchange experiences.

The 2013 International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2013) is to be hosted by Università degli Studi di Milano in its historic palaces and gardens in the very center of Milan, Italy. Original research contributions related to all aspects of mobile data management are solicited. Based on quality criteria, accepted submissions will be selected as full papers, short papers, and poster papers.

We invite submissions of original research contributions and industrial papers as well as proposals for workshops. Conference also features Tutorials, Panels, PhD Forum.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems and services
