------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission Deadline: June 5th, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the success of MobiWac events in Forth Worth, Philadelphia, and Maui, the 4-th Workshop on Mobility Management and Wireless Access (MobiWAC 2006) will be held in conjunction with MSWiM 2006 in Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain, on October 2-6, 2006.

SCOPE

Wireless communications technology is enjoying its fastest growth period in history. This unprecedented growth continues to affect the way that we live, work and play. Yet solutions for mobile wireless access are still in the early stages of development. The MobiWAC workshop solicits papers from researchers and practitioners that address architectures, technologies and protocols for mobile computing and wireless access. Topics of particular interest include mobility and location management, ubiquitous and ad hoc access, awareness, mobile computational ambient agents, natural interaction and seamless access. The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited papers, panel discussions and tools demonstrations. Accepted papers will appear in the Workshop proceedings published by ACM press.

TOPICS

Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of wireless and mobile access technologies with an emphasis on mobility management and wireless access.

The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited, to:

* Wireless/Mobile Access Protocols * Wireless/Mobile Web Access * Wireless Internet and All-IP integration * Next Generation Wireless systems * Mobile Broadband Wireless Access * Pervasive Communication and Computing * Ubiquitous and mobile access * Wireless Applications and testbeds * Multi-Homing and Vertical Handoff * Multi-Channel Multi-Radio management * Channels and resources allocation * Energy and power management * Context-aware services and applications * Context-aware protocols and protocol architectures * Interactive applications * Mobile commerce technologies * Mobile database management * Wireless Multimedia Protocols * Mobile and Wireless Entertainment * Mobile Info-services * QoS management * Mobility Control and Management * Localization and tracking * Mobile/Vehicular environment access * Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks * Security, Trust management and Privacy issues * Fault Tolerance solutions * Wireless Systems' Design * Analysis/Simulation of wireless mobile systems * Testbeds for experimental and simulation analysis

SUBMISSIONS

Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages in double column ACM style including tables and figures. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. A Journal Special Issue will be planned after the Workshop including revised extended versions of MobiWac selected papers.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers in postscript or pdf format. Information for paper submission can be found on the MobiWac webpage: http://www.cs.unibo.it/mobiwac2006/ Each submission must be accompanied by the following information: - a short abstract, - a complete list of authors and their affiliations, - a contact person for correspondence, - postal and e-mail addresses
