ACM MobiCom is the premier international conference dedicated to addressing emerging in mobile, wireless and ad hoc networking and computing. ACM MobiCom 2012 will hold multiple one or half day workshops on Wednesday (August 22) or Sunday (August 26) of the conference week in Istanbul, Turkey, co-located with the main conference.

We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to mobile communications and wireless networking before March 14, 2012 to the Workshop Chair. The ideal workshop proposal should focus on a specific area, be of current interest, and be able to attract a number of high-quality submissions. Proposals on emerging topics guaranteed to generate significant interest in the community will be selected. MobiCom 2012 will likely feature a mix of some returning and some new workshops.

A workshop proposal should be no more than 3 pages, containing at least:

• A draft call for papers (as complete as possible)
• The workshop deadlines (internal and external)
• Names and affiliations of main organizers and tentative composition of the committees
• Motivation and rationale for the workshop
• Expected number of submissions and participants
• Prior history of this workshop, if any (including # submissions, # accepted papers and # attendees)

If the workshop was previously co-located with another conference please indicate so clearly. Email proposals in PDF (ONLY) to the workshop chair, including "MobiCom 2012 Workshops" in the subject line.

Workshop Proposals due:		March 14, 2012
Notification of Acceptance:		March 18, 2012
Workshop Final Call for Papers due:		March 25, 2012

ACM MobiCom provides basic support for the workshops in the form of registration, publicity, a meeting room, and help in arranging meal service at the ACM MobiCom conference. To promote flexibility, the details including the format of the workshop and the form of submissions and presentations are left to the organizers of each workshop. Because workshops are meant to foster discussions on emerging topics of interest among the broader SIGMOBILE community, workshops are encouraged to be inclusive rather than exclusive in their solicitation of material. In addition, targeting more interactive forums such as presentations of short papers (and posters) rather than traditional presentations of full-length papers can be more conducive to successful workshops.

We look forward to your submissions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about submitting a proposal.

Please contact the Workshop Chair, Tommaso Melodia (State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, USA) for more information. For information on ACM SIGMOBILE and the MobiCom series of conferences, see http://www.sigmobile.org/ or contact mobicom_infoacm.org.
