2nd Mediterranean Workshop on Ad-Hoc Networks
              MED-HOC NET 2003
            Mahdia, Tunisia,  June 25-27, 2003

 First Call for papers

The second Med-Hoc-Net 2003 is a major annual international workshop in
the Mediterrnean region. It brings together researchers, technologists
and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry, engineers
and students  to exchange, discuss and share their experiences, new
ideas and research about  theoretical and practical aspects of ad-hoc
networking. The Med-Hoc-Net 2003 second edition intends to build upon
the background of the previous workshop Med-Hoc-Net 2002 held in
Sardegna, Italy, by presenting theoretical and practical achievements
and advances in the field, current research, experience reports, ongoing

prototyping efforts, case studies, and description of innovative ad hoc
systems.

Keynote Speaker :  Leonard Kleinrock  (UCLA)

                                           “Ubiquitous Computing”
