CALL FOR PAPERS
5th International Workshop on
"Mobile P2P Data
Management, Security and Trust (MPDMST'08)"
in conjunction with the
19th International Conference
on Database
and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'2008)
http://www.dexa.org/
Turin, Italy
September 1-5 2008
(Workshop proceedings to be
published by IEEE Computer Society Press)
(Selected Papers will be
considered for a Special Issue of an International Journal)
AIMS & SCOPE
Mobile Peer-to-peer (M-P2P) computing has emerged as a
new paradigm for wireless computing due to its potential to harness the
computing power of the heterogeneous mobile hosts in the M-P2P network and
efficiently making use of their under-utilized resources by sharing with
others. M-P2P technologies require flexible, autonomous, secure and trusted
resource sharing among dynamic moving peers. In this environment, research
issues include large scale dynamic data management, resource discovery, replica
allocation and consistency, data authentication, authorization, resource
access, data security and trust. These issues have generated a lot of interest
in academia as well as in industry. The aim of this workshop is to invite
researchers from academia/industry working in the area of mobile computing,
security, trust, mobile agent systems to discuss the new significant potential
problems which arise in M-P2P data management and are different from the
similar concepts studied earlier in different domains. The workshop will focus
on high quality contributions on general theme of M-P2P Computing in addition
to the following list of topics:
- M-P2P Computing Architectures
- Replication, Caching and Consistency Management in M-P2P Computing
- Transaction Management and Recovery in M-P2P Systems
- Indexing, Searching and Querying in M-P2P
- Query Processing in M-P2P Computing
- Economic Models and Incentive based Schemes for M-P2P computing
- Mobile Agents in M-P2P computing
- Semantic Web and M-P2P Computing
- Trusted Resource Discovery in M-P2P Networks
- Trust and Reputation Models for M-P2P Computing
- Data Authentication and Peer Authorization in M-P2P Computing
- Data and Route Security in M-P2P Computing
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: April 10, 2008
Notification of acceptance: May 1st, 2008
Camera-ready copies: May 10th, 2008

SUBMISSION DETAILS
Authors are invited to submit research contributions
representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be in English
and no more than 5 pages (10 font) conforming to IEEE guidelines (two column
single space format). Submit papers using the following web site: https://www.dexa.org/dexadriver (in case you encounter problems with submission website,
please send an email to madrias@mst.edu). Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness,
and clarity of expression. All papers will be refereed by at least three
members of the program committee.
WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE
One of the authors of accepted papers must register
for DEXA’08 conference and present the paper in the workshop. The
accepted paper will be included in the workshop proceedings by IEEE only after
paying the registration fees fixed by DEXA. Details about the DEXA’08
conference can be found at http://www.dexa.org/
