                    1st  International Workshop on
                   Parallel and Distributed Computing 
                     Issues in Wireless Networks and
                           Mobile Computing

*********************************************************************
Mobile computing has emerged as an important area of computing today as
we move to the next millennium. This has been made possible due to the
tremendous and continued growth of wireless communications and network
technology over the past decade, providing infrastructures for "anytime
anywhere" access to distributed computing systems and information
repositories. The mobility of users offers new challenges to seamless
connectivity in a distributed, heterogeneous network of wireline and
wireless components.  Several techniques and algorithms developed by the
parallel and distributed computing community can be applied to solve
typical  wireless networks and  mobile computing : routing, scheduling,
load balancing, cache coherence, information access, and QoS
provisioning problems. The objective of this workshop is to bring
together technologists and researchers of international reputation in
the areas of Parallel and Distributed Computing and Wireless Networks
and Mobile Computing in order to have a forum for  discussions, exchange
of ideas  and presentations.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for for
this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of
the IPDPS workshops

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Processor Architectures for Mobile and Wearable Computers
* Wireless networks in grid computing applications
* Routing in adhoc networks
* Parallel and distributed techniques for solving problems in mobile
  computing
* Distributed techniques for QoS Provisioning in wireless networks
* Distributed caches in mobile computing environments
* Caching, prefetching, pushcaching and replication to enhance
  information access in wireless networks
* Distributed wireless sensor networks
* Routing and location independent information access
* Scheduling issues in mobile computing
* Parallel/distributed algorithms for mobile computing systems
* Distributed Wireless multimedia systems
* Active Networks


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Authors are invited to submit summaries of original unpublished research
to one opf the the Workshop Chairs.  All submissions will be reviewed by
referees. Summaries should not exceed ten  (10) single-spaced pages of
text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References,
figures, tables, etc. may be included in addition to the ten  pages of
text. The summary should include an abstract of approximately 100
words.  The corresponding author is requested to include in a cover
letter: (1) complete postal address; (2) email address; (3) phone
number; and (4) fax number. Submissions may be by hard copy or by
email.  Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to
kumar@cs.curtin.edu.au or spirakis@cti.gr. Authors should submit the
cover page in ASCII form followed by a PostScript (level 2) file and
make sure that it will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11
inch (US letter size) paper.  For hard copy submissions, authors should
submit seven (7) hard copies of their paper along with the cover letter
to Mohan Kumar or Paul Spirakis.
All  manuscripts  will be reviewed.  Manuscripts   must be received by
October 30, 2000.  Submissions received after the  due date or exceeding
the  length    limit may not  be    considered. Notification of review
decisions will be mailed by December 10, 2000. Camera-ready papers are
due January  15, 2001.  Proceedings will  be available at the
Conference.
