SCOPE
Mobile computing and communications devices will have an
enormous impact on our lifestyle over the next several
decades. The mobility of distributed computing components
raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic
issues. This workshop is devoted to discrete algorithms and
methods in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. The workshop is intended to foster
cooperation among researchers in mobile computing and
researchers in discrete and distributed algorithms.
TOPICS
Contributions are solicited in all areas related to mobile
and wireless computing and communications where discrete
algorithms and methods are utilized. Specific topics
include, but are not limited to:
- distributed algorithms
- discrete algorithms
- frequency allocation
- localization and location tracking
- ad hoc and sensor networking
- wireless networks
- cryptography and security
- error correcting codes
- handover (handoff)
- modeling
- optimization
- satellite communication
- scheduling
- site allocation
- synchronization
- telecommunications
- routing, multicast and broadcast
- dynamic networks
- dynamic graph algorithms
- mechanism design
- cooperation enforcement
- energy conservation
- complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments
HISTORY
This workshop is a merging of two workshops:
DIAL M (Discrete Algorithms and Methods for Mobile
Computing and Communications), which was held annually
from 1997 to 2002 as a workshop in conjunction with ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom;
and POMC (Principles of Mobile Computing), which was held in
2001 in conjunction with the ACM/SIGACT and SIGOPS Symposium
on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC), and in 2002
in conjunction with the ACM International Symposium on
Distributed Computing (DISC).
Last year DIAL M and POMC were held jointly in San Diego,
CA, in conjunction with ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiCom 2003.
All submissions will be handled electronically. Papers
must not exceed 10 pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches)
including text, figures and references. The font size must
be at least 10 points. Accepted papers will be published in
the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should be
orginal, unpublished work and not currently under review for
any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please
refer to the
instructions for the electronic submission of papers.
Papers of particular merit will be proposed for
publication in
Algorithmica, the Springer-Verlag journal about the design of
algorithms in applied and fundamental areas.
