------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON
MOBILE COMPUTING AND NETWORKING 1995
November 14-15, 1995 (Tutorials on Monday, Nov. 13)
Berkeley, California, USA
Sponsored by the ACM's Special Interest Groups: SIGCOMM, SIGMETRICS
SIGOPS, SIGACT and CESDIS NASA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
Submissions due: April 17, 1995
Notification of acceptance: June 16, 1995
Camera-ready version due: August 14, 1995
The wireless communication revolution is bringing fundamental changes
to telecommunication and computing. Wide-area cellular systems and
wireless LANs promise to make integrated networks a reality and provide
fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile computing and communications,
thus bringing an end to the tyranny of geography. Furthermore,
services for the mobile user are maturing and are poised to change the
nature and scope of communication. This conference, the first of an
annual series, will serve as the premier international forum addressing
networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support the
symbiosis of portable computers and wireless networks.
PAPERS
Technical papers describing previously unpublished, original,
completed, or in-progress research, are solicited on topics at the
link layer and above. Topics will include, but are not limited to:
* Applications and computing services supporting the mobile user.
* Network architectures, protocols or service algorithms to cope
with mobility, limited bandwidth, or intermittent connectivity.
* Design and analysis of algorithms for online and mobile
environments.
* Distributed network protocols.
* Performance characterization of mobile/wireless networks and
systems.
* Network management for mobile and wireless networks.
* Service integration and interworking of wired and wireless
networks.
* Characterization of the influence of lower layers on the design
and performance of higher layers.
* Security, scalability and reliability issues for mobile/wireless
systems
* Wireless Multimedia Systems
* Satellite Communication
All papers will be refereed by the program committee. Accepted papers
will be published in conference proceedings. Papers of particular
merit will be selected for publication in the ACM/Baltzer Journal on
Wireless Networks.
For More Information: Please contact Dan Duchamp (djd@cs.columbia.edu)
or Baruch Awerbuch (baruch@blaze.cs.jhu.edu), the Program Co-Chairs.
HOW TO SUBMIT
Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should
Email a PostScript version of their full paper to:
"mcn95-submission@cs.columbia.edu".
This Email address will become operational on March 1. The address
will be backed by software that can test submissions for print-ability.
In order to pass the test, authors should ensure that their papers meet
these restrictions:
- PostScript version 2 or later
- no longer than 15 pages
- fits properly on "US Letter" size paper (8.5x11 inches)
- reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe fonts (i.e.,
Courier, Times Roman, or Helvetica); other fonts may be used
but must be included in the PostScript file
In addition, authors should be sure to select an easy-to-read font
size. The proceedings will be printed in two-column format, so
authors are encouraged to submit two-column papers. To learn how to
use the submission software, send a message with the body "HELP" to
the above Email address any time on or after March 1.
TUTORIALS
Proposals for tutorials are solicited. Evaluation of the
proposals will be based on expertise and experience of instructors,
and the relevance of the subject matter. Potential instructors are
requested to submit at most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch
to Krishan Sabnani (kks@big.att.com).
PANELS
Panels are solicited that examine innovative, controversial, or
otherwise provocative issues of interest. Panel proposals should not
exceed more than 3 pages, including biographical sketches of the
panelist.
STUDENT PARTICIPATION
Papers with a student as a primary author will enter a student
paper award competition. A cover letter must identify the paper as a
candidate for the student paper competition.
