CfP: Abstract Deadline extended! HICSS-36 Minitrack on Mobile Distributed Information Systems
by Andreas Meissner 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

[Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HICSS-36 Minitrack on MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Part of the Software Technology Track Thirty-sixth Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES January 6 - 9, 2003, Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: April 10, 2002 (new!) Full Papers due: June 1, 2002 ===================================================================== In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to context-specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in information about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and access to services and information from mobile devices. The user's topological and geographical location becomes relevant for the semantics of communication, and such communication has to remain seamless even in foreign environments, with little or no need for manual reconfiguration. Frequently, in addition to his location, the user's current situation determines his information and service requirements. With mobile devices becoming more and more powerful, mobile users themselves may offer information and services to peers in an ad-hoc manner. Consequently, the long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which calls for an extension of the architecture paradigm towards peer and/or alternating roles. This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as: Location and Situation aware Information Services Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information Ad hoc Networking Quality of Service for Mobile Information Access Directory Services, Service Discovery, Service Brokers Service Interoperability, Service Distribution, Service Management Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration for Mobile Users Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Access Modeling a User's Situation Mobile Devices: GUIs and Usability Management of Groups of Mobile Users Location Tracking Technologies Fundamentals of location-based Information and Service Distribution Architectures for Mobile Computing and Peer Service Provision Security Aspects of Mobile Distributed Information Systems Charging Models for Mobile Information and Service Access Business Opportunities and M-Commerce Potential of Mobile Distributed Information Systems Mobile Service and Information Provision in the Tourism Industry Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems MINITRACK CHAIRS Andreas Meissner Wolfgang Schönfeld Lars Wolf Fraunhofer IPSI Fraunhofer IPSI University of Karlsruhe Dolivostrasse 15 Dolivostrasse 15 Zirkel 2 64293 Darmstadt 64293 Darmstadt 76128 Karlsruhe Germany Germany Germany Tel: +49-6151-869-847 Fax: +49-6151-869-6847 {Andreas.Meissner, Wolfgang.Schoenfeld}(a)ipsi.fhg.de Lars.Wolf(a)uni-karlsruhe.de The Minitrack Website is http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss Please email general inquiries to hicss(a)ipsi.fraunhofer.de MINITRACK PROGRAM COMMITTEE Heribert Baldus, Philips Research Labs, Germany Andrew T.

He is a Scorpio and this fact speaks a million words. His interview is the 6th published so far and presents an Insider's reflections on IFIP. All previously interviewed Presidents [Messrs. Speiser, Sendov, Zemanek, Bobillier and Rolstadas] appear to have continued the path of very successful academic, business and political careers. Ashley's interview strikes with how successful he is now on the business front. Mr. Goldsworthy's responses address some intimate matters related to IFIP's operations, including * The IFIP Engine room * Does IFIP need more Talking Committees as opposed to Technical Committees? * What is IFIP's vexing problem? * Would further IFIP specialization create a technical isolation and what can be done to overcome this?
