It is our great pleasure to welcome you all to the Fifth ACM International Workshop on Data Engineering for Wireless and Mobile Access (MobiDE 2006), which is held in conjunction with ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2006. This workshop brings together researchers in databases, networking, and mobile computing with the aim of connecting the data management and mobile computing communities. It provides opportunities for a full day of exciting discussions on the topic of data management in mobile and wireless environments. The workshop serves as a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, generate novel ideas, and set new directions for data management for mobile and wireless access.MobiDE 2006 is the fifth in a series of workshops. The previous workshops took place in Seattle, WA, in conjunction with MobiCom 1999; in Santa Barbara, CA, together with SIGMOD/PODS 2001; in San Diego, CA, in conjunction with MobiCom 2003; and in Baltimore, MD, in conjunction with SIGMOD/PODS 2005.The workshop program has been put together with the aim of presenting new and controversial research ideas so as to foster interaction among researchers from around the world. The call for papers attracted 31 submissions from 14 countries: Brazil, Canada, China, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Korea, Norway, Portugal, Tunis, U.K., and U.S.A. Due in parts to MobiDE now being an established outlet for research results and to the co-location with ACM SIGMOD/PODS, many submissions were of very high quality, making the selection process quite competitive. All submissions were reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. This was followed by a discussion phase, where the reviewers of each submission had the opportunity to discuss the submission and its reviews. As a result, 10 submissions were accepted as full papers, and 2 submissions that reported on promising works in progress were accepted as short papers. In addition, a very interesting invited talk, "A Data Architecture for Consumer RFID Applications," by Gaetano Borriello from the University of Washington is included in the program. This talk probes into the consumer side of the mobile environment.The program reflects the depth and breadth of the field, with sessions covering important aspects of mobility, location-based processing, and the introduction of sensor technology into the real world. Thus, these proceedings provide an excellent point of reference on the increasingly important area of data engineering for mobile and wireless computing.

A data architecture for consumer RFID applications
We are developing a large-scale experimental testbed for consumer applications of long-range passive RFID tags. Unlike supply-chain applications, in the consumer space we must pay much more attention to issues of privacy. Our data architecture ...
Boosting location-based services with a moving object database engine
Composition of temporal and spatial properties of real world objects in a unified data framework results into Moving Object Databases (MOD). MODs are able to process, manage and analyze discretely or continuously changing spatio-temporal data. This ...
Evaluation of probabilistic queries in moving objects databases
The representation of moving objects in spatial database systems has become an important research topic in recent years. As it is not realistic to track and store the location of objects at every time instant, one of the issues in this domain has to do ...
On-line data reduction and the quality of history in moving objects databases
In this work we investigate the quality bounds for the data stored in Moving Objects Databases (MOD) in the settings in which mobile units can perform an on-board data reduction in real time. It has been demonstrated that line simplification techniques, ...
Challenges in spatiotemporal stream query optimization
Simplified technology and low costs have spurred the use of location-detection devices in moving objects. Usually, these devices will send the moving objects' location information to a spatio-temporal data stream management system, which will be then ...
GPS-Free node localization in mobile wireless sensor networks
An important problem in mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks is the localization of individual nodes, i.e., each node's awareness of its position relative to the network. In this paper, we introduce a variant of this problem (directional localization) ...
Towards correcting input data errors probabilistically using integrity constraints
Mobile and pervasive applications frequently rely on devices such as RFID antennas or sensors (light, temperature, motion) to provide them information about the physical world. These devices, however, are unreliable. They produce streams of information ...
Movement-based checkpointing and logging for recovery in mobile computing systems
In this paper, we present an efficient failure recovery scheme for mobile applications based on movement-based checkpointing and logging. Current approaches take checkpoints periodically without regard to the mobility rate of the user. Our movement-...
An error-resilient cell-based distributed index for location-based wireless broadcast services
Air indexing techniques have been developed for energy efficient query processing of mobile clients(MCs) in the wireless data broadcast. In the air indexing for spatial data, previous studies have involved various problems, long broadcast cycle by large ...

The subscription language is an important design decision for distributed event notification services (DENS). In order to minimize resource consumption and enable applications to use rich and complex subscription languages only when they are really ...
An evaluation of availability latency in carrier-based wehicular ad-hoc networks
On-demand delivery of audio and video clips in peer-to-peer vehicular ad-hoc networks is an emerging area of research. Our target environment uses data carriers, termed zebroids, where a mobile device carries a data item on behalf of a server to a ...
A mobile code platform for distributed task control in wireless sensor networks
In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the Wave system for code mobility as an alternative to existing agent platforms, and describe current work-in-progress of its design and implementation. Our proposed scheme adopts a coarse-grain approach to ...
Using time and activity in personalization for the mobile user
Mobile clients present a new and more demanding breed of users. Solutions provided for the desktop users are often found inadequate to support this new breed of users. Personalization is such a solution. The moving user differs from the desktop user in ...
