Workshop Aim
In recent few years, wireless networks have become incredibly popular. Various types of wireless networks such as cellular networks, wireless LANs, ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, and mesh networks have been deployed in many places. In addition, the number of wireless terminals and information generated by such terminals has increased rapidly. 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 future research directions on data management techniques applied to wireless networks in the information-explosion era.
