[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.

Following the success of DMWPCs (2008 in Okinawa, Japan /
2009 in Bradford, UK / 2010 in Perth, Australia / 2011 in
Biopolis, Singapore), DMWPC 2012 aims 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.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following areas:
- Data mining for mobile applications
- Data management for pervasive computing
