A major challenge of this decade is the effective exploitation of two
symbiotic technologies: portable computers and wireless networks.
Harnessing these technologies will dramatically change the computing
landscape. But realizing the full potential of the resulting mobile
computing systems will require advances in many areas such as:
hardware communications scalability power management
security data access user interfaces location sensitivity
The goal of this workshop is to foster exchange of ideas in mobile
computing among workers in the field. Attendance will be limited to
about 60 participants, based on the position papers submitted.
Submissions should be fewer than 5 pages in length and may expose a
new problem, advocate a specific solution, or report on actual
experience.
In addition, we will be hosting a small number of novel hardware and
software exhibits relevant to mobile computing. The exhibits may be
research prototypes or commercial products. Interested parties should
submit technical descriptions of their exhibits.
Online copies of the position papers will be made available via
anonymous FTP prior to the workshop. A printed proceedings will be
published after the workshop, and mailed to participants.
A small number of graduate students will be granted a waiver of the
registration fee. In return, these students will be required to take
notes at the workshop and help put together the proceedings. Students
who wish to be considered for the waiver must send in a brief
description of their current research, and an explanation of how
participation in the workshop is likely to help them.
