From DBSJ: 新年明けましておめでとうございます
by Yoshifumi MASUNAGA 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

日本データベース学会の皆様新年明けましておめでとうございます．年頭にあたり，一言ご挨拶申し上げます．我が国のデータベースコミュニティの発展に寄与することができればとの趣旨で，2002年5月に設立された日本データベース学会（DBSJ）は，おかげさまで正会員1500名，学生会員300名，維持会員（企業の会員）19社という規模の学会に成長しております． 2008年度からは，DBSJ，情報処理学会DBS研究会，電子情報通信学会DE研究専門委員会が一致団結して，データベースやウェブテクノロジーに関するさまざまな行事を開催していることは皆様よくご承知のことと拝察申し上げます．おかげさまで昨年12月に開催いたしましたWebDBフォーラムには400名を越える参加者が学界・産業界から集いました．本年3月にヤマハリゾートつま恋で開催予定のDEIMフォーラム2009には300件に迫ろうかという多数の発表エントリーをいただいています．これまで「日本データベース学会Letters」と銘打っていました学会論文誌も2008年度からは「日本データベース学会論文誌」（DBSJ Journal）と名称変更して，更なる内容の充実を図っております．本会は2010年4月に茨城県つくば市で開催予定のDASFAA2010国際会議の主催団体の一つとして鋭意準備を行っています．本会理事会，本会評議会，そしてさまざまな行事を企画立案・実行してくださる本会会員の皆様の努力により，2009年度はさらに充実した内容で我が国のデータベースコミュニティに資することができると考えます．しかしながら，一部の会員ばかりに行事開催の負担が偏らないように，会員の皆様に広くご尽力，ご協力をお願いいたします．本年が皆様にとりまして，更なる飛躍の年となることを祈ります．日本データベース学会会長増永良文（青山学院大学社会情報学部）

日本データベース学会の皆様、阪大の原です。 5月に台湾で開催されるモバイルデータ管理国際会議（MDM 2009）のデモ発表のご案内です。 MDMはモバイルデータ管理分野の最高峰の会議であり、2006年には日本でも開催されました。日本の研究成果を世界にアピールするためにも、是非、発表をご検討いただけましたら幸いです。（投稿締切：1月16日）原　隆浩 =================================================== | 原隆浩 (Takahiro HARA), 工学博士 | | 大阪大学大学院情報科学研究科　　　　　　 | | マルチメディア工学専攻准教授 | | 〒565-0871 大阪府吹田市山田丘1-5 | | E-mail: hara(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp | | URL: http://www-nishio.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/~hara/ | | Tel: 06-6879-4511, Fax: 06-6879-4514 | =================================================== ====================================================================== Call for Demo Proposals The 10th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM'09): Systems, Services and Middleware May 18-21 2009, Taipei, Taiwan http://adslab.cs.nctu.edu.tw/mdm2009/ ------------------------------------------- The MDM 2009 Demo program aims to bring together both researchers and practitioners from the data management and mobile computing communities. It offers an exciting and highly interactive way of demonstrating your mobile databases, systems, services and middleware research and is an excellent way of advertising the applicability of your results. Proposals for demonstrations of products or prototypes based on innovative research results are solicited. It is mandatory that all demo proposals describe clearly what will be demonstrated and how the contributions will be illustrated interactively. Optionally, proposals can include a URL that shows a preliminary version of the demo (e.g., screenshots or, even better, an interactive program). -------------------------------------------------- Areas: MDM 2009 demo track will showcase leading edge work and work in progress in every area of mobile and wireless disciplines. We are especially interested in products or prototypes in the following areas: - Adaptability and stability of pervasive computing systems - Context-aware computing and location-based services - Data management in wireless networks - Data management in sensor and mobile ad hoc networks - Data management in mobile peer-to-peer networks - Data mining for mobile applications - Data presentation, scripting and exchange languages - Data replication, migration and dissemination in mobile environments - Data stream processing in mobile/sensor networks - Indexing and query processing for moving objects - Location and mobility semantics - Location tracking of vehicles and moving objects - Metadata management and exchanges - Mobile access to the Web - Mobile agents - OS and middleware for mobile and pervasive computing - Publish-subscribe approach in mobile computing - Quality of service issues for data-intensive services - Query processing and optimization for mobile users - Resource advertising and discovery techniques - Security and privacy issues for ubiquitous systems - Theoretical foundations of data-intensive mobile computing - Transactions and workflows in mobile environments - User interfaces and usability issues form mobile applications -------------------------------------------------- Submission: All submitted demo proposals must be formatted according to the instructions for submission format for research submissions and must be no longer than two (2) pages. This page limit includes all parts of the paper: title, authors and affiliation, abstract, body, and bibliography. Accepted demo proposals will appear in the final proceedings (subject to approval by the proceedings publisher). Demos will be selected based on (i) the novelty of the demo, (ii) the novelty and the technical quality of the underlying research, and (iii) the attractiveness of the demonstrated system. Demo proposals should be sent to the demo chairs: Takahiro Hara (hara(a)ist.osaka-u.ac.jp) and Hsiao-Kunag Wu (hsiao(a)csie.ncu.edu.tw) Please note that for every accepted demo, it is required that at least one person registers for the conference and presents the demo. -------------------------------------------------- Cover letter: The authors must prepare the cover letter that contain (a) demo title, (b) authors and affiliation, (c) total demo cycle time, (d) resource requirements, (e) demo objectives (abstract). The cover letter should be plain text in the body of the submission e-mail. -------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: Proposal must be submitted by: January 16, 2009 Notification (acceptance or rejection) by: February 16, 2009 Camera-ready must be submitted by: March 15, 2009 -------------------------------------------------- MDM 2009 Demonstration Co-Chairs Takahiro Hara Osaka University, Japan Hsiao-Kunag Wu National Central University, Taiwan ======================================================================
