We *TRULY* apologize if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers.

*********************************************************************** PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS

DIAL M-POMC 2004 http://www.ece.neu.edu/conf/dialm-pomc-04/

The Joint Workshop on Foundations of Mobile Computing Co-located with ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom 2004

October 1, 2004 Philadelphia, PA, USA

* SCOPE

Mobile computing and communications devices will have an enormous impact on our lifestyle over the next several decades. The mobility of distributed computing components raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues. This workshop is devoted to discrete algorithms and methods in the context of mobile and wireless computing and communications. The workshop is intended to foster cooperation among researchers in mobile computing and researchers in discrete and distributed algorithms.

* TOPICS

Contributions are solicited in all areas related to mobile and wireless computing and communications where discrete algorithms and methods are utilized. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* distributed algorithms * discrete algorithms * frequency allocation * localization and location tracking * ad hoc and sensor networking * wireless networks * cryptography and security * error correcting codes * handover (handoff) * modeling * optimization * satellite communication * scheduling * site allocation * synchronization * telecommunications * routing, multicast and broadcast * dynamic networks * dynamic graph algorithms * mechanism design * cooperation enforcement * energy conservation * complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments

* HISTORY

This workshop is a merging of two workshops: DIAL M (Discrete Algorithms and Methods for Mobile Computing and Communications), which was held annually from 1997 to 2002 as a workshop in conjunction with ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom; and POMC (Principles of Mobile Computing), which was held in 2001 in conjunction with the ACM/SIGACT and SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC), and in 2002 in conjunction with the ACM International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC). Last year DIAL M and POMC were held jointly in San Diego, CA, in conjunction with ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom 2003.

* PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

All submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must not exceed 10 pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should be orginal, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or workshop. (Concurrent submissions to journals will be considered on a case-by-case basis; inquiries should be sent to the program co-chairs.) To submit a paper, please refer to the instruction for the electronic submission of papers.
