Call for Papers

                      MobiHoc 2001
                      ============

   The ACM Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking & Computing

  October 4-5, Long Beach (Hyatt Regency hotel), California, USA

             http://www.cs.ucla.edu/mobihoc/

                sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE

MobiHoc 2001 will serve as a forum for addressing various issues
related to mobile ad hoc networks. Following the success of
MobiHoc 2000, MobiHoc 2001 has been expanded to a 2-day symposium,
to provide more opportunities for participation by the ad hoc
networking community.

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished
research, not currently under review by another conference
or journal, are solicited. Topics of interest include but
are not limited to -

* Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, geocast,
   content-based, etc.) for ad hoc networks
* Media access techniques
* Transport layer issues for ad hoc networks
* Mobile ad hoc computing platforms and testbeds
* Applications for ad hoc networks
* Low power and energy-efficient designs
* Quality-of-service issues
* Security and fault-tolerance issues for ad hoc networks
* Self-configuration in ad hoc networks
* Sensor and data fusion
* Ad hoc networking over Bluetooth
* Distributed algorithms for ad hoc networks
   (e.g., leader election, group management, etc.)
* Biologically-inspired mechanisms for ad hoc networks

Please consult the program co-chairs, M. Scott Corson
([email-masked]), and Samir Das ([email-masked])
if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the
scope of the symposium.
