CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Data Management
for Information Explosion in Wireless Networks (DMIEW 2009)
URL: http://www-nishio.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/conf/dmiew2009/

Fukuoka, Japan, March 2009
in conjunction with International Conference on Complex,
Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CICIS 2009)

---------------------------------------------------------------

In recent few years, wireless networks have become incredibly
popular. Various types of wireless networks such as cell-phone
networks, wireless LANs, ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, and
mesh networks have been developed at many places. In adttion, the
number of wireless terminals and information generated by such
terminals has increased repidly. Thus, we are in a time which we
could call the "Information-Explosion Era."

This workshop aims to deliver a platform for discussions and
technical presentations on the current challenges and solutions,
as well as directions for future research directions on data
management techniques of wireless networks in the
information-explosion era.
