Scope
Mobility will inevitably be one of the main characteristics of future networks, terminals and applications and, thus, extending and integrating fixed network protocols and services to mobile systems represents one of the main issues of present networking.
The workshop will focus on the challenges of mobility, that is, on technologies, protocols and services for the support of seamless and nomadic user access to new classes of applications in person-to-person, device-to-device and device-to-person environments.
The workshop is intended to constitute an international forum for presentation and discussion of the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking, at the link layer and above. In order to provide a basis for lively discussion and active participation from all attendees, submissions reporting exciting on-going work are favoured.
Topics
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to :
. Seamless mobility
. Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks
. Analysis, simulation and measurements of mobile and wireless systems
. Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks
. QoS in mobile and wireless networks
. Future trends and issues concerning mobility
Paper submission
Authors are invited to submit full papers, with a limit of 12 double-spaced A4 pages and font size no smaller than 11 points, in PDF or PostScript formats, presenting new research related to the theory or practice of mobile computing and networking. Submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference or journal. Papers describing challenging, stimulating ideas are especially welcome.
Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PDF or PostScript file. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee members. Accepted papers will be published in post-workshop proceedings by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
An electronic, PDF-based submission of papers is mandatory.
Submissions must be made using the Webchairing conference management system at the following URL: http://www.webchairing.com/wcm/ . Please check the the WCC2004 web pages for further submission instructions
(such as registration and/or organization)
or
contact wcm2004@dei.uc.pt for additional information.
. Deadline for submissions - April 10, 2004
. Notification of acceptance - May 10, 2004
. Camera ready versions - June 10, 2004
The workshop will be a single track, full-day event, on August 27, 2004 , with a number of participants in the range of 40-60. The workshop will open with a keynote speech from an internationally recognized personality in the wireless and mobility arena. This will be followed by the presentation of 10 regular papers and a closing panel on the Challenges of Mobility. Based on the ideas presented and discussed during the day, the panel will address, analyse, discuss and sum up controversial, innovative and/or open issues in the area, with the aim of opening up avenues for future research. The members of the panel will be selected among program committee members and presenters.
