2010 SAC

The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) is the primary Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) annual conference. It has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work for the last twenty four years. For more details, please visit http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2010/. The conference proceedings will be available online through the ACM Digital Library.

MOBILE DATABASE SYSTEMS TRACK

Mobile computing is gaining immense popularity these days due to an increase in the information on demand while moving. Also, the use of mobile devices (e.g., laptops, cell phones, PDAs, etc.) will rapidly increase in the future as more applications for the mobile systems are being developed. A mobile database is a database that can be connected by a mobile computing device over a wireless network and that enables users to exchange mission-critical data anytime, anywhere. The Mobile Database Systems (MDS) track aims at providing academic researchers and industry practitioners with a forum to discuss various aspects of the mobile database systems. The MDS track reflects the areas of applications as well as fundamental paradigms of mobile database systems. In particular, we have a special focus on ¡°Developing Robust Mobile Database Systems¡± as the theme of this year.
