Advances in ubiquitous computing infrastructure are arriving on a
daily basis and by all accounts this level of activity will continue
for the foreseeable future. Such infrastructure includes mobile
devices, sensors, and wireless networks all backed by an increasingly
sophisticated federation of fixed networks and data
centers. Ubiquitous computing promises unprecedented access,
convenience, and efficiency but in order to realize this potential,
data management technology must be adapted to deal with the
limitations as well as the tremendous opportunities of large-scale
ubiquitous data access. Challenges exist in core database areas such
as systems architecture, query processing, and transaction management,
as well as in emerging areas such as information dissemination and
user-centered, context-aware data delivery. In this talk I will
outline several of these challenges, and describe on-going work in two
related projects that address these issues: 1) Telegraph, an adaptive,
data-flow query processing engine, and 2) the Data Centers project on
profile-driven data management.

Michael Franklin is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the
University of California, Berkeley where his research focuses on the
architecture and performance of distributed databases and information
systems. Previously, Dr. Franklin was at the University of Maryland,
College Park, where he led the development of the DIMSUM flexible
query processing architecture and was a co-developer of the Broadcast
Disks data dissemination paradigm. He is Editor-In-Chief of the ACM
SIGMOD Record, is an editor of ACM Computing Surveys, and is Program
Co-Chair for the 2nd International Conference on Mobile Data
Management to be held in Hong Kong this January. He currently serves
on the Technology Advisory Boards of several Bay Area start ups,
including: AppStream, CommonObject, Propel, and RightOrder. He is a
1995 recipient of the NSF CAREER award and a 2000 recipient of an
Okawa Foundation research grant.
