The fourth Mobile Data Management conference will build on the success of its predecessors. Discussing databases and data management in a mobile environment, the conference gathers participants from a wide selection of industry and academia all around the world. 

                                    SCOPE

Papers solicited for the industrial track describe practical experiences with mobile data management. Such experiences can be industrial applications, prototypes, experiences, and standards (or proposed standards).
This includes location based services, sensor networks and sensor-based services, QoS and QoS-based services, provisioning of terminals and services, user profile and policy management, peer-to-peer technologies, search engines, ontologies and ontology search mechanisms, mechanisms for managing streaming, caching and data encoding, encryption and compression, adaption of data to mobile devices, distributed database technologies, and other associated topics e.g. user interfaces, protocols, etc.
Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing implementations, theoretical and practical results in the field of mobile data management. Demonstrations of new tools and systems are very desirable.
All submitted papers for this track will be carefully evaluated based on their significance, practical focus, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers will be refereed by two members of the Industry program committee. Members of this committee are experts carefully selected from academia and industry.
