		    6th International Workshop on

		 Discrete Algorithms and Methods for
		 Mobile Computing and Communications

			 September, 28, 2002

			Atlanta, Georgia, USA
	       (In conjunction with ACM  MobiCom 2002)

		 Sponsored by ACM Sigmobile (pending)

				SCOPE

Mobile  computing and   communications  such as  portable   phones and
Personal Digital Assistants will have an  enormous impact on all of us
over the next several decades.   The introduction of mobility raises a
number  of new research questions. For  many of them, approaches based
on the continuous case  are not satisfactory,  and discrete models and
algorithms are required in order to deal with real applications.

The workshop DIAL M for Mobility is devoted to discrete algorithms and
discrete modelling in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. It is  intended to be a  lively meeting, covering many
of the   algorithmic and discrete  aspects  of this  field  going from
operations   research  to radio engineering  problems.     It aims, in
particular, at   fostering  the  cooperation  among practitioners  and
theoreticians of the field.  Following  the success the first workshop
held jointly with Mobicom 97 in Budapest,  DIAL M for Mobility will be
co-located  with   ACM/IEEE  MobiCom  98 and    will  be   composed of
contributed and invited talks.

				TOPICS

Papers are  solicited in all  research  and applied areas  related  to
mobile  and  wireless   computing  and  communications  where discrete
algorithms and methods  are used,  including, but  not  limited to:

    * distributed algorithms
    * frequency allocation
    * location tracking
    * multihop packet radio networks
    * wireless networks
    * cryptography and security
    * error correcting codes
    * handover (handoff)
    * modelling
    * optimization
    * routing
    * satellite communication
    * scheduling
    * site allocation
    * synchronization
    * telecommunications

			     PUBLICATION
 
All  contributions will  be refereed   by the  Program  Committee. All
accepted  papers  will appear (7  to 10   pages  each) in the workshop
proceedings which will be published by ACM.

			SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
 
The language of  the conference is  English. All submissions should be
original  and not currently under  review by any  other publication or
conference.     All papers   will   be    reviewed  by  two  or   more
reviewers.  Accepted proposals will  be  published  in the  conference
proceedings. It is expected that all accepted papers will be presented
at the workshop.

Papers should be full papers and be no longer than 5000 words (no more
than 10 single-spaced pages).  Submissions must include a cover  page,
containing the title, author  name(s) and affiliation(s), the complete
address  (telephone, fax, email) of   the corresponding author, and an
abstract (max 150 words) followed by up to 5 keywords.

Authors are  requested  to submit an   electronic version  (PDF  or A4
Postscript   format)  of   the paper. The    PDF  format  is  strongly
recommended.

All submissions will be  handled electronically. You will  submit your
proposal   via    the  WEB    (http://dialm.insa-lyon.fr/)  or  E-MAIL
([email-masked]) if your web access  is limited).  Please review
all these instructions before submitting your paper:

* PDF format or
* PostScript version 2 or later.
* No longer than 10 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.

			   IMPORTANT DATES

* Final Paper Submission Deadline:  May 12, 2002
* Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2002
* Camera-ready papers due: July 15, 2002
* Workshop:  September, 28, 2002
