Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers

POMC 2002
Workshop on Principles of Mobile Computing
October 30-31, 2002, Toulouse, France.

Workshop URL: www.utdallas.edu/~ravip/pomc/POMC/POMC.html

Sponsor: ACM SIGACT

Accepted papers published by ACM

Submission deadline : July 5, 2002

To be held in conjunction with International Symposium on DIStributed Computing (DISC 2002)
http://www.enseeiht.fr/~disc02/

=============================================================================

Mobile computing and communications devices are proliferating in recent years. The mobility of distributed computing components raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues.

This two-day workshop is intended to bring together researchers in mobile computing (especially, but not exclusively, ad hoc networks) and distributed algorithms (especially, but not exclusively, dynamic networks). To facilitate such interaction, the workshop is scheduled to begin on the last day of DISC 2002.

The planned format is a combination of contributed papers and one-hour tutorials. Significant time for discussion will be allocated. It is intended to be a lively and informal meeting, and to foster cooperation among mobile computing systems researchers and distributed algorithms theoreticians.

=============================================================================

Topics
------

Papers are solicited in all research and applied areas that touch on the application of, or need for, distributed algorithms in the context of mobile computing systems. Papers covering work in progress are especially welcome. Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work that is not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

- distributed algorithms 
- routing 
- dynamic networks 
- dynamic graph algorithms 
- location tracking 
- middleware 
- security 
- scheduling 
- media access techniques 
- quality-of-service issues 
- sensor networks 
- complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments 

Please consult any member of the technical program committee if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.

Submission Instructions
----------------------

Submission should be up to 10 pages in length with reasonable margins and line spacing using at least 11-point font.

Submission instructions will be available on the conference website.

Important Dates:

Paper Submissions Due: July 5, 2002
Notification of Acceptance: August 8, 2002
Camera-ready Version Due: August 30, 2002
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the workshop.
