IMPORTANT DATES:
October 30, 2000            Workshop Paper Due

Mobile computing has emerged as an important area of computing today as we
move to the
next millennium. This has been made possible due to the tremendous and
continued growth
of wireless communications and network technology over the past decade,
providing
infrastructures for "anytime anywhere" access to distributed computing
systems and
information repositories. The mobility of users offers new challenges to
seamless
connectivity in a distributed, heterogeneous network of wireline and
wireless
components.  Several techniques and algorithms developed by the parallel and
distributed
computing community can be applied to solve typical wireless networks and
mobile
computing: routing, scheduling, load balancing, cache coherence, information
access, and
QoS provisioning problems. The objective of this workshop is to bring
together
technologists and researchers of international reputation in the areas of
Parallel and
Distributed Computing and Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing in order to
have a
forum for discussions, exchange of ideas and presentations.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for this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):
* Processor Architectures for Mobile and Wearable Computers
* Wireless networks in grid computing applications
* Routing in adhoc networks
* Parallel and distributed techniques for solving problems in mobile
computing
* Distributed techniques for QoS Provisioning in wireless networks
* Distributed caches in mobile computing environments
* Caching, prefetching, pushcaching and replication to enhance information
access in
wireless networks
* Distributed wireless sensor networks
* Routing and location independent information access
* Scheduling issues in mobile computing
* Parallel/distributed algorithms for mobile computing systems
* Distributed Wireless multimedia systems
* Active 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Authors are invited to submit summaries of original unpublished research to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 8.5 x 11 inch (US letter size)
paper.  For
hard copy submissions, authors should submit seven (7) hard copies of their
paper along
with the cover letter to Mohan Kumar or Paul Spirakis.
All manuscripts will be reviewed.  Manuscripts   must be received by October
30, 2000.
Submissions received after the due date or exceeding the length    limit may
not be
considered. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 10,
2000.
Camera-ready papers are due January 15, 2001.  Proceedings will be available
at the
Conference.
