Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the
ACM/Kluwer Wireless Networks (WINET) and
Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journals.

CHALLENGES SESSION:
------------------
Short papers (maximum of 8 pages) that challenge the mobile computing
community with new technologies or visionary applications are solicited.
Such papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up
exciting avenues of mobile computing research. Papers will be reviewed
and should be submitted using the normal submission procedure.
Submitted papers should be clearly identified as intended for the
Challenges Session.

**REVISED SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS**:
------------------------------------
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare
a PostScript or Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their paper. No

Instructions for submission are available at:
http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobicom/2002/submissions/

TUTORIALS:
----------
Proposals for tutorials are solicited, and will be evaluated based on
the expertise of the instructors and the relevance of the subject matter.
Potential instructors should submit a tutorial proposal of at
most five pages, including a biographical sketch, to the Tutorial
Co-chairs ([email-masked] or [email-masked]).

PANELS:
-------
Proposals are solicited for panels 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 Panel Co-chairs
([email-masked] or [email-masked]).

RESEARCH DEMOS:
---------------
Proposals for research demos are solicited. Proposals should not exceed 3
pages and should include a description of the demo and equipment that
will be used. Proposals for demos should be sent to the Research Demo
Chair ([email-masked]).

** STUDENT POSTER SESSION **:
---------------------------
The conference solicits student posters that highlight recent and on-going
research by students on mobile computing topics. Proposals should be a
maximum of two pages in length. While it does not need to describe completed
work,
the poster paper should report on research that is beyond the initial
stages.
The first author of a poster submission must be a student. Poster abstracts
will not be published in the proceedings but will instead be published on
the web
before the conference.  Poster submissions will be reviewed. Authors of
accepted papers
must not submit a poster of the work they present in the conference. For
more information about
student poster applications contact the Student Poster Co-chairs
([email-masked] or [email-masked]).

Papers with a student as the primary author will be considered
for the Best Student Paper Award with a cash award of $1,000 USD. Students
must indicate with their submissions that they would like to be considered
for this award.
