Call for Papers and Participation
2nd IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (WMCSA'99)
February 25-26, 1999
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's
Task Force on Internetworking (TFIW) and
Technical Committee on Operating Systems (TCOS),
in cooperation with the USENIX Association
This past decade has seen the widespread adoption of both portable
computing devices and wireless communication networks. However, the
integration of these two technologies has yet to occur on a large
scale. Achieving pervasive mobile computing will require advances
in many areas such as
+ Network and operating system support for mobility
+ Application adaptation to changing conditions
+ Portable computing hardware with networking capability
+ Digital audio and video in mobile environments
+ Performance evaluation of wireless data networks
+ Mobile Internet and Web access
+ Security and privacy
+ Power management
Following the example of the first WMCSA (see
http://www.cs.odu.edu/~mukka/tcos/arch/spring95/spring95.html),
the goal of this workshop is to foster the exchange of ideas in
mobile computing among workers in the field. Attendance will be limited to
about 60 participants, based on the position papers submitted. We seek
papers that describe ongoing or completed research and development
efforts. We are particularly interested in papers that propose
new directions, advocate non-traditional approaches, or generate
controversy and discussion. Submissions must not exceed 10 pages
in length. We will publish a printed proceedings.
A small number of graduate students will be granted a waiver of the
registration fee. In return, these students will be asked to take
notes at the workshop. Students who wish to be considered for the
waiver must send in a brief description of their current research,
and an explanation of how participation in the workshop is likely
to help them.
WMCSA '99 will take place immediately following and in the same location
as the 3rd USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation
(OSDI '99). Please see http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi99 for more
information on OSDI '99.
