Mobile computing and communications devices are proliferating in recent years. The mobility of distributed computing components raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues.
This two-day workshop is intended to bring together researchers in mobile computing (especially, but not exclusively, ad hoc networks) and distributed algorithms (especially, but not exclusively, dynamic networks). To facilitate such interaction, the workshop is scheduled to begin on the last day of DISC 2002.
The planned format is a combination of contributed papers and one-hour tutorials. Significant time for discussion will be allocated. It is intended to be a lively and informal meeting, and to foster cooperation among mobile computing systems researchers and distributed algorithms theoreticians.
Papers are solicited in all research and applied areas that touch on the application of, or need for, distributed algorithms in the context of mobile computing systems. Papers covering work in progress are especially welcome. Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work that is not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
Please consult any member of the organizing committee if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the scope of the workshop.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop.
