CALL FOR PAPERS 5th International Workshop on "Mobile P2P Data Management, Security and Trust (MPDMST'08)" in conjunction with the 19th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'2008) http://www.dexa.org/ Turin, Italy September 1-5 2008 (Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press) (Selected Papers will be considered for a Special Issue of an International Journal) AIMS & SCOPE Mobile Peer-to-peer (M-P2P) computing has emerged as a new paradigm for wireless computing due to its potential to harness the computing power of the heterogeneous mobile hosts in the M-P2P network and efficiently making use of their under-utilized resources by sharing with others. M-P2P technologies require flexible, autonomous, secure and trusted resource sharing among dynamic moving peers. In this environment, research issues include large scale dynamic data management, resource discovery, replica allocation and consistency, data authentication, authorization, resource access, data security and trust. These issues have generated a lot of interest in academia as well as in industry. The aim of this workshop is to invite researchers from academia/industry working in the area of mobile computing, security, trust, mobile agent systems to discuss the new significant potential problems which arise in M-P2P data management and are different from the similar concepts studied earlier in different domains. The workshop will focus on high quality contributions on general theme of M-P2P Computing in addition to the following list of topics: - M-P2P Computing Architectures - Replication, Caching and Consistency Management in M-P2P Computing - Transaction Management and Recovery in M-P2P Systems - Indexing, Searching and Querying in M-P2P - Query Processing in M-P2P Computing - Economic Models and Incentive based Schemes for M-P2P computing - Mobile Agents in M-P2P computing - Semantic Web and M-P2P Computing - Trusted Resource Discovery in M-P2P Networks - Trust and Reputation Models for M-P2P Computing - Data Authentication and Peer Authorization in M-P2P Computing - Data and Route Security in M-P2P Computing IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 15th, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 1st, 2008 Camera-ready copies: May 10th, 2008 Workshop: Sept. 1-5, 2008 SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be in English and no more than 5 pages (10 font) conforming to IEEE guidelines (two column single space format). Submit papers using the following web site: https://www.dexa.org/dexadriver (in case you encounter problems with submission website, please send an email to madrias@mst.edu). Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee. WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE One of the authors of accepted papers must register for DEXA'08 conference and present the paper in the workshop. The accepted paper will be included in the workshop proceedings by IEEE only after paying the registration fees fixed by DEXA.
