Call for Papers ACM WMASH'2005 The Third ACM International Workshop on Wireless Mobile Applications and Services on WLAN Hotspots http://wmash2005.ece.iastate.edu/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE (In Conjunction with ACM MOBICOM'2005) September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany

The goal of the workshop is to address and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in providing public wireless Internet services and applications for nomadic users in small, highly-populated, public spaces (wireless LANs and "hotspots").

We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). However, cross-layer solutions including MAC interaction as well as ESS management via IAPP are welcome. Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

- Applications and services - New service and business models - Public WLAN and hotspot architectures - Community-owned WLAN infrastructures - WLAN-based ad-hoc network service creation and management - Metro-area hotspots using 802.11/802.16 mesh - Multi-radio mesh node designs - Self-configuring mesh networks for public hotspots - Mobile routers for transient, portable hotspots - Application case studies of mobile routers - Interworking with other wireless systems, e.g., 3G, 802.16 - Mobility, roaming, and handoff management - Context-aware services and technologies - Location-aware applications and services - Multimedia wireless applications, e.g., Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) - Authentication, accounting, billing and payment issues - Security and privacy in public WLANs - Middleware support - Service location and discovery - Traffic measurements and modeling - Case studies on deployed platforms and experimental testbeds

Please consult the Program Co-Chairs Renato Lo Cigno (locigno@dit.unitn.it) and Milind M. Buddhikot (milind@dnrc.bell-labs.com) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.

Important Dates (TBC): - Paper/Poster Submission Deadline: May 30, 2005, 5pm EST - Notification: July 1, 2005 - Camera Ready Due: July 20, 2005

Paper and Poster Submission Guidelines: This year's workshop solicits two types of contributions, i.e., regular papers and posters. Submitted regular papers must not be currently under review for any other publication. The poster session will provide an excellent opportunity for initial feedback on early research results. Posters may not preclude concurrent submissions on the same topic in regular conferences and journals. Accepted regular papers and poster descriptions will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be available at the ACM digital library. The page limits for a regular paper and a poster description are 10 and 3 pages, respectively. Visit the conference website at http://wmash2005.ece.iastate.edu for the paper format and submission guideline.
