PUBLICATION PURPOSE
-------------------
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 distributed 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
publication serves to enhance the ability of ACM SIGMOBILE members to
keep up-to-date in this rapidly moving field, as well as serve as a
major focal point for the discussion of new directions of portable
computation and mobile networks for both the research and
market-driven communities.
PAPERS
------
Technical papers describing previously unpublished, original,
completed research, and not currently under review by another
conference or journal are solicited on topics at the link layer and
above. Topics will include, but are not limited to:
* Applications and computing services supporting the mobile user
* Network architectures, protocols or service algorithms to cope
with mobility, limited bandwidth, or intermittent connectivity
* Design and analysis of algorithms for on-line and mobile
environments
* Mobile network protocols
* Performance characterization of mobile/wireless networks
and systems; Network management for mobile and wireless networks
* Data and power management in mobile computing
* Service integration and interworking of wired and wireless
networks
* Characterization of the influence of lower layers on the design
and performance of higher layers
* Security, scalability and reliability issues for mobile/wireless
systems
* Satellite communications
