******************************************************************

MobiCom 2002 is the eighth annual conference dedicated to addressing new
challenges in mobile computing and networking. MobiCom 2002 solicits
papers describing significant research contributions to the field of
mobile computing and networking.

PAPERS:
Authors are invited to submit full papers related to the theory and
practice of mobile computing and networking. Original research papers
(that are not currently under review by another conference or journal)
are solicited. Areas of interest include, but not limited to:

*  Applications and computing services supporting mobile users
*  Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility,
   limited bandwidth, or intermittent connectivity
*  Database and data management issues in mobile computing
*  Performance of mobile/wireless networks and systems
*  Security and privacy of mobile/wireless systems
*  Interaction between different layers of mobile/wireless systems
*  Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks
*  Adaptive applications and systems for mobile environments
*  Distributed-system aspects of mobile systems
*  Operating system support for mobility
*  Location-dependent applications
*  Wireless multimedia systems
*  Power management
*  Mobile agents
*  Pervasive computing
*  Wireless sensor networks
*  Wireless/mobile service management and delivery

All papers will be refereed by the program committee. Accepted papers
will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular
merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Baltzer Wireless
Networks (WINET) and Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journals. 


CHALLENGES SESSION:
Short papers (maximum of 8 pages) that challenge the mobile computing
community with new technologies or visionary applications are solicited.
Such papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up
exciting avenues of mobile computing research. Papers will be reviewed
and should be submitted using the normal submission procedure. Submitted
papers should be clearly identified as intended for the Challenges
Session.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
All submissions will be handled electronically. The submission formats
are limited to PostScript (PS) and PDF. Submitted papers must not exceed
12 double-column pages, using a font size that is no smaller than 10
points.

Further details of the submission instructions can be found at
http://mobicom2002.comet.columbia.edu/submissions

All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through
double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld
from the reviewers. Authors names must not appear in the paper or in the
Postscript or PDF file. Please direct any questions about the submission
process to the Program Co-chairs at mobicom2002@comet.columbia.edu.


TUTORIALS:
Proposals for tutorials are solicited, and will be evaluated based on
the expertise of the instructors and the relevance of the subject
matter. Potential instructors should submit a tutorial proposal of at
most five pages, including a biographical sketch, to the Tutorial
Co-chairs (cath@ecn.purdue.edu or
nhv@crhc.uiuc.edu).

PANELS:
Proposals are solicited for panels that examine innovative,
controversial, or otherwise provocative issues of interest. Panel
proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including biographical sketches of
the panelists. Potential panel organizers should contact the Panel
Co-chairs (shroff@ecn.purdue.edu or marie-jose.montpetit@nokia.com).

RESEARCH DEMOS:
Proposals for research demos are solicited. Proposals should not exceed
3 pages and should include a description of the demo and equipment that
will be used. Proposals for demos should be sent to the Research Demo
Chair (ron@oit.gatech.edu).

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD:
Papers with a student as the primary author will be considered for the
Best Student Paper Award with a cash award of $1,000 USD. Students must
indicate with their submissions that they would like to be considered
for this award.

IMPORTANT DATES:
*  Paper submissions due: March 1, 2002
*  Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2002
*  Camera-ready version due: July 31, 2002
