Abstract
Mobile networking, mobile systems and applications and ubiquitous computing infrastructures are of strongly growing importance in the IT sector in general, and particularly for the parallel and distributed computing community. Mobile internet access has become a commonplace service. Many conventional software products such as e-mail systems, databases, or enterprise resource planning have been adapted towards mobile usage patterns. The world of ubiquitous information processing will soon be revolutionizing our day-to-day routines. Major components are sensor networks, radio frequency identification technology, and whole new layers of data management assembling their low-level signals to highlevel knowledge.
