  ===================================================

  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  Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for
this
  workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings (by
IEEE
  CS Press) 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
  * Algorithms
  * Routing in ad hoc 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  Authors are invited to submit summaries of original unpublished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 of 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; and (3)
  Phone/fax numbers. Submissions may be by hard copy or by email.
  Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to
  kumar@cse.uta.edu or raghu@usc.edu. 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 8.5x11
  inch (US letter size) paper.

IMPORTANT DATES:
  October 30, 2001            Workshop Paper Due
  December 10, 2001           Notification of Acceptance/Rejection
