Abstract
The emergence of powerful portable computers, along with advances in wirele ss communication technologies, has made mobile computing a reality. Among t he applications that are finding their way to the market of mobile computin g-those that involve data management-hold a prominent position. In the past few years, there has been a tremendous surge of research in the area of da ta management in mobile computing. This research has produced interesting r esults in areas such as data dissemination over limited bandwith channels, location-dependent querying of data, and advanced interfaces for mobile com puters. This paper is an effort to survey these techniques and to classify this research in a few broad areas.
