Workshop Series on Mobile Computing

这是计划中的系列讲习班中的第一个讲习班。它的目标是激发和集中人们对情景感知移动计算环境的新兴数据管理领域的兴趣。随着无线带宽变得越来越广泛，通信基础设施将在很大程度上面向无线。它将在固定系统和便携式设备(如手机、笔记本电脑和其他类似的未来设备)之间提供自适应连接。在这个平台下，计算将开始从桌面向这些设备迁移，因此有必要更仔细地管理数据。工业界和学术界都认识到无线设备是一个重要的发展领域，然而，数据管理的问题并没有得到协调一致的解决。这次研讨会旨在通过为信息管理、无线网络、通信和信号处理系统领域的业界和学术界的领先研究人员提供一个论坛来填补这一空白，以制定未来的研究议程。这次研讨会将导致一个更有凝聚力的研究界，并将导致这一新领域的技术更快地开发和采用。它将促进新标准的发展，并将为美国技术界成为该领域的主导参与者提供必要的协同效应。讲习班的成果将通过(http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/nsfmobile/wshop.html/或http://www.cs.brown.edu/nsfmobile/wshop.html/)网站在网上公布，并将在期刊(例如，国际电工委员会和国际电工电子工程师学会)和相关的会议、讲习班或会议上予以报告。

This is the first workshop of a planned workshop series. Its objective is to stimulate and focus interest in the emerging area of data management for context-aware, mobile computing environments. As wireless bandwidth becomes more widely available, the communication infrastructure will be heavily wireless oriented. It will provide adaptive connectivity among immobile systems and portable devices such as cell phones, laptops, and other such future devices. Under this platform the computing will begin to migrate away from the desktop toward these devices consequently it will become necessary to managed data more carefully. Industry and academia recognized wireless devices as an important area for development, however, the problems of data management have not been addressed in a coordinated manner. This workshop aims to fill this gap by providing a forum for leading researchers from both industry and academia in the areas of infomation management, wireless networking, communications and signal processing systems to set the research agenda for the future. This workshop will lead to a more cohesive research community and will result in a quicker development and adoption of technologies for this new area. It will facilitate the development of new standards and will provide the synergy necessary for the US technical community to become a dominant player in this field. The results of the workshop will be made available online through web site (http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/nsfmobile/wshop.html/ or http://www.cs.brown.edu/nsfmobile/wshop.html/) and will be reported in periodicals (e.g., ACM and IEEE) and relevant conferences, workshops or meetings.
