SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the special session. Prospective authors are invited to submit their paper (about 5 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to Session Chair by the due date. In case you can not meet the deadline, you can send a one-page abstract to register your paper (the complete paper can then be sent one or two weeks later). Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format(or postscript) by sending it as an e-mail attachment to kyandogh@ant.uni-hannover.de. Please do clearly indicate that the paper is destined for this special session "Position-based Networking Issues"! The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages.

The first page of the submitted paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords..

IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: February 17, 2003 (a two-weeks extension of this deadline is possible - on request. Notification of Acceptance: March 21, 2003 Camera-Ready Papers Due: April 22, 2003
