abstract = {This paper presents flashWeb, a Computer-Aided Web Engineering (CAWE) tool for
the model-driven development of web applications that focus on data management.
Present-day web applications, like on-line auction systems or enterprise web
portals require comprehensive data access, data processing and data
manipulation capabilities. However, existing web application development
approaches treat data management operations as second-class citizens. They
integrate data operations into existing models or derive them as a by-product
of business processes. We argue that data management is an important part of
the application logic hence we capture operations with an additional Operation
Model. We show that the explicit modeling of operations provides many benefits
that distinguish our solution from other approaches. We present the flashWeb
development process utilizing a graphical notation for the models in use, a
CAWE tool that supports the creation of the graphical models and a code
generator that creates ready-to-run web applications.},

Wrapper and translate local constraints from data sources automatically into
the uniform constraint model through Constraint Wrapper with the help of schema
mapping information. The Constraint Service can be published as web service and
be invoked by different Data Integration Systems. Through the Constraint
Service, queries can be optimized, and global updates can be checked for
validity and integrity. We establish the DIS-CS system to facilitate both the
architecture and the implementation. We carry out experiments of Semantic Query
Optimization using Constraints. The results show that the performance of the
queries is greatly improved.},

Nexus project, a context sharing platform was developed that allows for global,

federation approach, how these models can be active to support event
observation and notification, how the third dimension can be introduced in the

partitions. Potential calendar partitions are for example: every Monday, every
first working day of each month, every holiday. Providing flexible mining
capabilities for calendar-based partitions is especially challenging in a data
stream scenario. The calendar partitions of interest are not known a priori and
at each point in time only a subset of the detailed data is available. We show
how a data warehouse approach can be applied to this problem. The data
warehouse that keeps track of frequent itemsets holding on different partitions
of the original stream has low storage requirements. Nevertheless, it allows to
derive sets of patterns that are complete and precise. This work demonstrates
the effectiveness of our approach by a series of experiments.},

abstract = {In order to optimize their revenues and profits, an increasing number of
businesses organize their business activities in terms of business processes.
Typically, they automate important business tasks by orchestrating a number of
applications and data stores. Obviously, the performance of a business process
is directly dependent on the efficiency of data access, data processing, and
data management.
In this paper, we propose a framework for the optimization of data processing
in business processes. We introduce a set of rewrite rules that transform a
business process in such a way that an improved execution with respect to data
management can be achieved without changing the semantics of the original
process. These rewrite rules are based on a semi-procedural process graph model
that externalizes data dependencies as well as control flow dependencies of a
business process. Furthermore, we present a multi-stage control strategy for
the optimization process. We illustrate the benefits and opportunities of our
approach through a prototype implementation. Our experimental results
demonstrate that independent of the underlying database system performance
gains of orders of magnitude are achievable by reasoning about data and control
in a unified framework.},

physical world, which is often obtained with a huge amount of sensors. Thus,
the development of such applications is cumbersome, in particular the
implementation of their often complex control flow. To ease the development of
context-aware applications we present the concept of context-aware workflows.
Thereafter we present an implementation of these concepts based on a standard
workflow language. Context-aware workflows are not only interesting for the
development of context-aware applications, but also enable workflow technology
to be applied in new domains that are process oriented and yet not supported by
workflow systems like production processes in the manufacturing industry. The
concept of context-aware workflows is a first approach that enables modeling
and execution of technical production processes with workflow systems normally
used for business processes.},

abstract = {Message from the General Chairs The last two decades have seen a radical change
in the way computers and computing are embedded in society. Historically, the
Personal Computer and the Internet were the milestones that changed both the
computer industry and the way society perceived computers. Today, mobility and
the pervasive use of computing devices have resulted in a fundamental change in
paradigm. Data is no longer static, residing on a disk and on a personal
computer. Now data is something available everywhere, through a multitude of
commodity devices and constantly broadcast through a variety of channels. The
impact on industry and on the way we work with data has become obvious. For
instance, portable digital music players are forcing the music industry to
change its business model, soon the same will happen with video and television.
Similarly, some major telecommunication companies have recently embarked in an
effort to replace the old phone network with an IP based solution for all forms
of communication, thereby blurring even further the boundaries between
communication and computation. The International Conference on Mobile Data
Management lies at the heart of all these changes. In the same way that the
Personal Computer and the first spreadsheet revolutionized the industry, the
new world of pervasive and ubiquitous access to information requires new
approaches to the way we deal with data. And these new approaches need
appropriate venues to be presented and discussed. Taking place in Mannheim,
Germany, MDM 2007 aims at serving as both as a top research conference as well
as a catalyst for new ideas and increased interactions between research and
industry. With an excellent technical program encompassing research papers and
demonstrators, and the complement of several seminars and workshops dedicated,
MDM 2007 has become the leading research venue for innovative research in all
aspects data management related to mobile, wearable, and pervasive computing.
The success of MDM 2007 is nevertheless not due solely to the importance of the
area. Organizing a conference requires the concerted effort of many individuals
during a prolonged period of time, often extending well beyond the conference
itself. As the Conference Chairs, we would like express our thanks and
gratitude to all those who have helped to make MDM 2007 possible. First and
foremost to the PC Chairs: Christian Becker, Christian Jensen, and Jianwen Su,
who have put together an excellent technical program. The program has been
complemented by an exciting demo track thanks to the efforts of Dieter Pfoser.
Panels, seminars, and workshops round up the program and have helped to make
the conference more attractive. The have been coordinated by Agnes Voisard,
Ralf Hartmut G{\"u}ting, and Birgitta K{\"o}nig-Ries, respectively. Special thanks go
to Daniela Nicklas for her efforts with the proceedings and to Torben Weis for
taking care of financial and budget matters. Klemens B{\"o}hm and Arno Jacobsen
were in charge of publicity and advertising the conference. Last but not least,
we want to thank the local organizers, who have done a great job in taking care
of all the menial but often cumbersome aspects of running a conference:
Christian Becker, Wolfgang Effelsberg, Armin Heinzl, and Martin Schader.
Looking forward to seeing you in Mannheim!
