MobiHoc 2001, sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE, will serve as an international
forum for addressing cutting-edge issues related to mobile ad hoc
networking and computing. Following the success of MobiHoc 2000 in Boston,
MobiHoc 2001 has been expanded to a 2-day symposium, to provide more
opportunities for participation by the ad hoc networking and computing
community.

We invite you to join us for MobiHoc 2001, at the Hyatt Regency hotel,
on the waters' edge in Long Beach, California, USA, October 4-5, 2001.
