1st International Workshop on
Parallel and Distributed Computing Issues in Wireless Networks and
Mobile Computing
IPDPS 2001 WORKSHOPS
Hyatt Regency San Francisco April 23-27 , 2001
*******************************************************************
General Chair
Sajal K. Das, The University of Texas at Arlington, USA
Program  Co-Chairs
Mohan J. Kumar,  The University of Texas at  Arlington, USA
Paul Spirakis, Computer Technology Institute, Patras, Greece
*********************************************************************
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.
Accepted papers will be published (by IEEE CS Press) in the proceedings
of the IPDPS workshops.
