> > The field of wireless and mobile computing is an important 
> > area of computing today. This has been made
> > possible due to the tremendous and continued growth of wireless 
> > communications and network technology,
> > providing infrastructures high bandwidth distributed services. 
> > The mobility of users offers new challenges to
> > seamless connectivity in a distributed, heterogeneous network 
> > of wireline and wireless components such as
> > routing, scheduling, channel assignment, load balancing, 
> > cache coherence, information access, and QoS
> > provisioning. In addition to wireless networks based on a 
> > pre-exisiting infrastructure, where communications
> > take place only between the wireless nodes and 
> > the access point, ad hoc wireless networks are emerging.
> > Such networks do not need any insfrastructure to work, 
> > but they comprise mobile clients as well as mobile
> > servers, and they pose challenges in diverse areas 
> > such as location management, network connectivity,
> > reliability and security, and energy consumption. 
> > The objective of this workshop is to bring together  leading
> > technologists and researchers in these ``critical areas'' 
> > of research in order to have a forum for discussing fundamental
> > challenges, identifying future perspectives, and exchanging 
> > ideas about ongoing research. Authors are solicited to
> > submit original unpublished manuscripts for this workshop. 
> > Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings (by IEEE CS
Press) 
> > of the IPDPS workshops.
> > 
> >  Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
> >  * Routing, broadcast and multicast for mobile, wireless, and ad hoc
networks
> >  * Synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc
networks
> >  * Distributed algorithms for mobile, wireless, and ad hoc networks
> >  * QoS measuring and negotiating in wireless networks
> >  * Caching and prefetching for information access in wireless
networks
> >  * Security and fault-tolerance issues
> >  * Channel assignment
> >  * Resource management in cellular and satellite networks
> >  * Multiple access schemes for mobile networks
> >  * Energy saving protocols for ad hoc networks
> >  * Sensor networks
> >  * Pervasive computing
> > 
> > MINITRACK: Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks (ReAlWiNe)
> > 
> > The workshop will host a special minitrack devoted to 
> > the presentation and discussion of the
> > ongoing research activities of the ``ReAlWiNe'' Project, 
> > granted by the Italian Ministry of Scientific Research 
> > (http://rtm.science.unitn.it/~realwine). 
> > The purpose of the project is to design and evaluate, both
> > experimentally and analytically, new sophisticated algorithmic 
> > solutions to realize and maintain high-speed,
> > high performance, cost-effective, and reliable wireless 
> > networking. In particular, the topics of interest are
> > algorithms for: channel assignment, scheduling, data managing 
> > and location, collective communications
> > and energy saving, network survivability and wavelength assignment 
> > in infrastructured optical networks.

> > SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
> > Authors are invited to submit summaries of original unpublished
research to one of the Workshop Chairs.
> > All submissions will be reviewed by referees. 
> > Summaries should not exceed ten (10) single-spaced pages of
> > text using 12-point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References, 
> > figures, tables, etc., may be included
> > in addition to the ten pages of text. 
> > The summary should include an abstract of approximately 100 words. 
> > The corresponding author is requested to include in a cover letter: 
> > (1) complete postal address; (2) email address; and (3) Phone/fax
numbers. 
> > Submissions may be by hard copy or by email. 
> > Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to: 
> > [email-masked] or [email-masked].
> > Authors should submit the cover page in ASCII form followed 
> > by a PostScript (level 2) file and make
> > sure that it will print on a PostScript printer that uses US letter 
> > or A4 size paper.
