Second ACM Workshop on Wireless Mobile Applications and Services on WLAN Hotspots (WMASH 2004) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE

October 1, 2004 Philadelphia, PA, USA

CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------

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").

There are several research issues still to be explored in the public WLAN arena. What is the overall network architecture and service model? How to roam through multiple wireless access providers with a unique service contract? How to decouple the wireless infrastructure providers from the Internet service (and content) providers? How to locate service facilities in the wireless access domain and how to match the available facilities with the user needs? How to exploit location and context information? How to provide differentiated service levels to different customers? How to achieve seamless interoperation between WLAN-based hotspots and cellular and other emerging wireless data networks?

This workshop is aimed at discussing these and several other technical and business challenges behind the evolution of WLANs from cable replacement to public access. Leaders and thinkers of the field from academia and industry will assemble to share their ideas and views. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research and visions of the future. We are specifically interested in work dealing with network layer and above (layers 3-7). Within the context of interest to this workshop, a list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

Applications and services

Public WLAN architectures

Community-owned WLAN infrastructures

WLAN-based ad hoc network service creation and management

New service and business models

Interworking and cooperation with public cellular and other emerging wireless systems

Mobility, roaming, and handoff management

Context-aware services and technologies

Location-aware applications and services

Multimedia wireless applications

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 Sunghyun Choi (schoi@snu.ac.kr) and Bill Schilit (bill.schilit@intel.com) if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.

Important Dates: ----------------

Paper Submission Deadline: June 11, 2004

Notification: July 28, 2004

Camera Ready Due: August 6, 2004

Paper Submission Guidelines:

Papers that are unpublished and are not currently under review by other journals, conferences, or workshops are solicited. We are interested in:

Technical papers that describe original research results

Position papers that proposes new technologies or shares future vision (similar to challenges papers in MobiCom)

All submissions will be handled electronically. The paper must be in either PDF or PostScript format. The page limit of the regular technical papers is 15 pages (double column is okay) and position papers is 10 pages in US Letter sized paper with reasonable margins. Please use font sizes of at least 10 points.

All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members. Papers will be judged by their technical merit, originality, and relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings. Selected papers will also be included in a special issue of an ACM journal.

We expect authors of accepted papers will attend the workshop and present their work.
