OBJECTIVES
Mobile cellular communication systems and wireless networking
technologies are growing at an ever-faster rate, and this is likely to
continue in the foreseable future. Wireless technology is nowadays
being used to link portable computer equipments to corporate
distributed computing and other sources of necessary
information. Wide-area cellular systems and wireless LANs promise to
make integrated networks a reality and provide fully distributed and
ubiquitous mobile communications, thus bringing an end to the tyranny
of geography.
We propose to organize a high quality, special session on Mobile and
wireless networks for the HiPC'2000 conference, (For details, see
http://www.hipc.org). The objective of this session is to bring
together technologists and researchers of international reputation to
have a forum for discussions and presentations of their
state-of-the-art work in all aspects of wireless communications and
mobile computing, with particular emphasis on performance modeling and
analysis of mobile communications capability.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for a
special session on Mobile Computing. Topics of interest include (but
not limited to):
o Performance modeling of wireless networks (PCS, Ad hoc, Satellite
Networks)
o Mobility, data, resource management, and scheduling issues in wireless
and mobile networks Mobile applications and tools for distributed
databases
o wireless Internet and WWW, simulation of wireless networks Mobile
Agents
o Quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning
o Wireless multimedia systems
o Routing and location independent information access
o Parallel Simulation of large scale wireless systems Security,
scalability
and reliability for mobile/wireless systems
o Architectures of mobile/wireless networks and systems
o Traffic integration for mobile applications
o Design and analysis of algorithms for mobile environments
o Influence of lower layers on the design and performance of higher
layers
o Scalable Servers Wireless Mobile Computing
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
To submit an original research paper, send your complete manuscript
(not to exceed 15 double-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type
on 8.5 x 11 inch pages) to the Program Chair. References, figures,
tables, etc. may be included in addition to the fifteen pages of
text. Electronic submissions are encouraged and should be sent to
hipc2000@ac.upc.es. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a
readable postscript file containing the following header information
in ASCII form: Title, Author name(s), Abstract, Postal address, E-mail
address, and Telephone and Fax numbers.
PLEASE ALSO INDICATE THAT THIS SUBMISSION IS FOR THE SPECIAL SESSION MOBILE
TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS.
The header (in ASCII) should be followed by the postscript version of
the complete manuscript (including title, author's name, affiliation,
and abstract).
Authors should submit a correct PostScript (level 2) file of their
paper to be considered and make sure that the PostScript file will
print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11 inch size (US letter
size) paper. All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be
received by May 1st, 2000. Submissions received after the due date or
exceeding the length limit may not be considered. Notification of
review decisions will be mailed by June 30, 2000. Camera-ready papers
are due August 15, 2000. Proceedings will be available at the
Conference.
NOTE: Selected papers will be forwarded to the Journal of
Interconnection Networks (JOIN) for a special Issue on "Performance
Modeling of Mobile Telecommunication Networks"
IMPORTANT DATES
Hard copy submissions are also permitted and, like electronic
submissions, must be received by May 1st, 2000. Send six copies of the
manuscript to:
