MobiHoc 2002 is the third of a series of annual meetings
sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE,
focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing area of mobile
ad hoc networking and computing. The first MobiHoc was held in
2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, as a workshop affiliated with the
MobiCom conference also sponsored by SIGMOBILE. Since then, MobiHoc
has become a separate symposium, held in 2001 in Long Beach,
California, and now in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Topics of
interest include all areas of mobile and wireless ad hoc
networking (above the physical layer), ad hoc computing, and
sensor networks.
Papers:
Technical papers
describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently
under review by another conference or journal, are solicited,
particularly including visionary papers, experimental papers, and
application-oriented papers. Topics include but are not limited to:
-
Routing
protocols (unicast, multicast, geocast, content-based, etc.)
-
Media
access techniques
-
Transport-layer
issues
-
Mobile
ad hoc computing platforms, systems, and testbeds
-
Applications
for ad hoc networks
-
Low
power and energy-efficient designs
-
Quality-of-service
issues
-
Security
and fault-tolerance issues
-
Self-configuration
in ad hoc networks
-
Sensor
and data fusion
-
Distributed
algorithms for ad hoc networks (e.g., leader election and
group management)
-
Biologically-inspired
mechanisms for ad hoc networks
-
Location-based
techniques
-
Analytical
methods
-
Modeling
and performance evaluation
Accepted papers will be
printed in the symposium proceedings published by ACM. Please consult
the Program Co-Chairs, J.J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves (jj@cs.ucsc.edu)
and David B. Johnson (dbj@cs.rice.edu), if you are uncertain
whether your paper falls within the scope of the symposium.
Submission Instructions:
All submissions will be
handled electronically and must be in PDF or PostScript format. Papers
must not exceed 15 pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches)
in font no smaller than 10 points. Submitted papers should be
unpublished and must not be currently under review for any other
publication.
All submitted papers will
be judged based on their technical merit through double-blind
reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the
reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or within the
PDF or PostScript file.
To submit a paper, please
refer to the paper
submission instructions page. Questions about the submission
process should be directed to the Program Co-Chairs.
Tutorials:
Proposals for tutorials
are solicited. Evaluation of proposals will be based on the expertise
and experience of the instructors, and on the relevance of the subject
matter for the symposium. Potential instructors are requested to
submit a tutorial proposal of at most 5 pages, including a
biographical sketch, to the Tutorial Co-Chairs, Mario Gerla (gerla@cs.ucla.edu)
or Adam Wolisz (wolisz@ee.tu-berlin.de), by the paper
submission deadline below.
