This workshop is intended to bring together leading researchers
from both academia and industry to present both foundations and practical
methods and tools for modeling and optimisation of mobile and ad-hoc 
networks.
  The workshop will bring together researchers studying optimisation 
issues of
mobile networks from both the network performance and the mobile networking
perspectives:

*  Mobile Network Optimisation: Applications and Algorithms
*  Performance characterisation and optimisation of
    	mobile/wireless networks and systems
*  Protocols design (MAC, Routing) for optimal mobile network
    	utilisation
*  Tools for network optimisation
*  Energy efficiency in mobile networks
*  Security and co-operation models for mobile networks
*  Pricing and incentives in mobile and ad-hoc networks.

Presentations will be selected based on an extended abstract of three
pages that should be sent via email to altman@sophia.inria.fr. Authors
of accepted presentations will have the opportunity to publish either
the extended abstract or the full paper in a proceedings volume. Full
papers will further be considered for publication in a special issue of 
some
high-level journal in the area (we are actually in contact with MONET).

IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission of extended abstract: Dec.  1, 2002.
Notification of acceptance:	 Jan. 10, 2003.
Camera ready copy:		 Feb.  1, 2003.
