[AIM and SCOPE]
The tremendous advances in wireless communication and mobile
computing technologies have created a new computing and
communication environment that provides services anytime and
anywhere for everyone. Such an environment enables users to
access a wide range of services and applications using a large
variety of mobile and ubiquitous devices (e.g., cell phones,
handheld computers, and so on). In order to accelerate this
trend in the future, further progresses of the researches on
wireless and pervasive computing, especially on data management,
are necessary.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and
researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a
forum for discussion and technical presentations on the current
researches and future research directions related to this hot
research area.
