International Workshop on Ubiquitous Data Management
(UDM2005)

Ubiquitous computing technologies provide a pervasive base for a real world environment such that we can acquire and deliver information at every place. Advances in the technologies of displays, electronic papers, digital architecture, sensors, RFID tags and storage devices etc. may bring a new real world environment for data access. The focus of this workshop is on issues of the data management in such ubiquitous environments. In particular objective is to focus more on new emerging issues of data management (acquisition, storage, retrieval, and delivery) involved with respect to pervasive, ubiquitous and sensor computing. The aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of ubiquitous data management, ubiquitous hypermedia, context-aware databases, and content management in appliances, and building advanced infrastructures and applications. Papers dealing with theoretical interests, speculative ideas, and solid research foundation and reporting implementation and practical results are solicited.

The official language is English and the format of the electronic copy can be Postscript, Word, or PDF. Detailed formatting instructions from IEEE can be found at: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Submissions are limited to ten pages in the specified format. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Authors are required to submit papers through the official Workshop homepage(http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/UDM2005/). The official paper submission page is scheduled to be open in late October 2004. The accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in the workshop proceedings. The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and also be archived in the IEEE Computer Society's digital libraries.

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work at the workshop. All attendees must register for the ICDE2005 conference. Details about the ICDE2005 conference can be found at http://icde2005.is.tsukuba.ac.jp

The registration fee of the UDM2005 Workshop is FREE for every participant that registered the ICDE2005 Coneference. Also, the UDM2005 special reception is planned in the evening of April 4, 2005.
