Workshop Series on Mobile Computing

这是计划中的系列研讨会的第一个研讨会。它的目标是激发和关注上下文感知的移动计算环境中数据管理这一新兴领域的兴趣。随着无线带宽变得越来越广泛，通信基础设施将主要面向无线。它将在非移动系统和便携式设备（如手机、笔记本电脑和其他此类未来设备）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，因此更仔细地管理数据将成为必要。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，数据管理问题尚未得到协调一致的解决。本次研讨会旨在填补这一空白，为工业界和学术界在信息管理、无线网络、通信和信号处理系统等领域的领先研究人员提供一个论坛，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社区，并将导致在这个新领域更快地开发和采用技术。它将促进新标准的发展，并为美国技术社区成为该领域的主导力量提供必要的协同作用。研讨会的结果将通过网站（http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/nsfmobile/wshop.html/或http://www.cs.brown.edu/nsfmobile/wshop.html/）在线公布，并将在期刊（如ACM和IEEE）和相关会议、讲习班或会议上报告。

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.
