Announcement and Call for Papers


Third ACM/IEEE International Conference on Mobile Computing and
Networking 1997 (MobiCom'97)

Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and SIGCOMM,
IEEE Communications Society, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences

September 26-30, 1997
Budapest, Hungary

The wireless communication revolution is bringing fundamental changes to
telecommunication and computing. Wide-area cellular systems and wireless LANs
promise to make integrated networks a reality and provide fully istributed and
ubiquitous mobile computing and communications, thus bringing an end to the
tyranny of geography. Furthermore, services for the mobile user are maturing
and are poised to change the nature and scope of communication. This
conference, the third of an annual series, serves as the premier international
forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support
the symbiosis of mobile computers and wireless networks.

Papers:

Technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, completed
research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are
solicited on topics at the link layer and above. Possible topics include, but
are not limited to:

Applications and computing services supporting mobile users
Network architectures, protocols or service algorithms to cope with
mobility, limited bandwidth, or
intermittent connectivity
Design and analysis of algorithms for mobile environments
Security, scalability and reliability for mobile/wireless systems
Performance of mobile/wireless networks and systems
Network management for mobile and wireless networks
Data management in mobile computing
Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks
Influence of lower layers on the design and performance of higher layers
Mobile network protocols
Mobile computing
Mobile agents
Power management
Wireless multimedia systems
Satellite communication
Location-dependent applications
Distributed system aspects of mobile systems
Adaptive applications interfaces for mobile systems
Architectures of mobile/wireless networks and systems
Traffic integration for mobile applications

All papers will be refereed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be
selected for publication in the ACM/Baltzer journals Wireless Networks (WINET)
and Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET).

How to Submit:

All paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should E-mail a
PostScript version of their full paper to mobicom97@monarch.cs.cmu.edu. This
E-mail address will become operational on March 1, 1997. In order to ensure
that the PostScript versions of the papers can be printed, authors should be
careful that their papers meet the following restrictions:

PostScript version 2 or later.
No longer than 15 pages.
Fits properly on "US Letter" size paper (8.5x11 inches).
Reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe printer fonts (i.e.,
Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other fonts may be used but
must be included in the PostScript file.

In addition, authors should separately E-mail the title, author names and full
address, and abstract of their paper to the Program Chairs, David Johnson and
Christopher Rose. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality
through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are
withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names should not appear on the paper or
in the PostScript file.

Tutorials:

Proposals for tutorials are solicited. Evaluation of proposals will be based
on the expertise and experience of the instructors, and on the relevance of
the subject matter. Potential instructors are requested to submit a tutorial
proposal of at most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch, to the Tutorial
Chair, Wassim Matragi.

Panels:

Panels are solicited that examine innovative, controversial, or otherwise
provocative issues of interest. Panel proposals should not exceed 3 pages,
including biographical sketches of the panelists. Potential panel organizers
should contact the Publicity Chair, Sirin Tekinay.

Student Participation:

Papers with a student as a primary author will be considered for a cash award
of $500 US Dollars for the best student paper. A cover letter must identify
the paper as a candidate for the student paper competition.

Important Dates:

Submissions due: April 21, 1997
Notification of acceptance: June 30, 1997
Camera-ready version due: August 15, 1997

For More Information:

Please contact either of the Program Co-Chairs:
David Johnson, Tel: +1 412 268 7399, Fax: +1 412 268 5576; or
Christopher Rose, Tel: +1 908 445 5250, Fax: +1 908 445 2820.
