Call for Workshop Proposals
The 20th IEEE Conference on Mobile Data Management (IEEE MDM 2019)
http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/mdm2019/
Hong Kong
June 10-13, 2019
Sponsored by The IEEE Computer Society
********************************************************************************
The MDM series of conferences, since its debut in 1999, has established itself as a prestigious forum for the exchange of innovative and significant research results in mobile data management. The conference provides unique opportunities to bring researchers, engineers, and practitioners together to explore new ideas, techniques, and tools, and exchange experiences.
MDM 2019 aims at providing specialized workshops where researchers and practitioners
will have an opportunity to explore in a more focused manner, the specific interests
of mobile data management. In addition to sharing experience, workshops are intended
to provide a fertile ground for discussing possibly-controversial ideas.
We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with MDM 2019 - tentatively scheduled to take place on June 10 - as preamble to the main conference. An important aspect that potential organizers should take into consideration is precisely the formatting - both in terms of scope and presentations' organization - so that the main objectives identified above are catered to.
All accepted workshop papers will be published through IEEE Computer Society and the
length of a regular workshop papers is limited to 6 pages - however, the organizers
may accept even shorter papers with prior notice to the workshop chairs.
