Announcement and Call for Papers ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review PUBLICATION PURPOSE ------------------- The wireless communication revolution is bringing fundamental changes to telecommunication and computing. Wide-area cellular systems and wireless LANs promise to make integrated networks a reality and provide fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile computing and communications, thus bringing an end to the tyranny of geography. Furthermore, services for the mobile user are maturing and are poised to change the nature and scope of communication. This publication serves to enhance the ability of ACM SIGMOBILE members to keep up-to-date in this rapidly moving field, as well as serve as a major focal point for the discussion of new directions of portable computation and mobile networks for both the research and market-driven communities. PAPERS ------ Technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, completed research, and not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited on topics at the link layer and above. Topics will include, but are not limited to: * Applications and computing services supporting the mobile user * Network architectures, protocols or service algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, or intermittent connectivity * Design and analysis of algorithms for on-line and mobile environments * Mobile network protocols * Performance characterization of mobile/wireless networks and systems; Network management for mobile and wireless networks * Data and power management in mobile computing * Service integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Characterization of the influence of lower layers on the design and performance of higher layers * Security, scalability and reliability issues for mobile/wireless systems * Satellite communications How to submit ------------- Paper submission will be handled electronically.
