After the success of the first MobiWac Workshop in Forth Worth, TX,
this year, the Workshop on  Mobility Management and Wireless Access
Protocols
will be held in conjunction with MobiCom 2004.

SCOPE

With the advent of wireless and mobile devices,
wireless communication technology
is enjoying its fastest growth period in history,
and this is likely to continue in the near future,
while affecting the way we live and  work.
Yet, mobility and wireless device access
are still in their early stage of development.

This workshop solicits papers, both form researchers and practitioners,
dealing with mobile computing and wireless access technologies,
with an emphasis on mobility and location management,
ubiquitous and ad hoc access, awareness,
mobile computational ambient agents,
natural interaction and seamless access.

The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited papers,
panel discussions and tools demonstrations.
The proceedings will be published by ACM CS-press.

TOPICS:

Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results
of
significance on all aspects of wireless and mobile access technologies
with an emphasis on mobility management and wireless access.

The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited, to:

- Wireless/Mobile Access Protocols
- Wireless Web Access
- Fault Tolerance in Wireless Access Networks
- Application development for embedded electronics and mobile devices
  (with J2ME Wireless Devices, etc.)
- Wireless Multimedia Protocols
- Design and architecture of wireless communication and mobile computing
- Mobile service and QoS management
- Localization and tracking of mobile users
- Modeling of wireless devices and networks
- Large scale simulation
- Channel Allocation
- Analysis of correctness and efficiency of protocols
- Pervasive Computing
- Ubiquitous and mobile access
- Security and privacy issues
- Awareness-dependent wireless applications
- Interactive applications
- Context-awareness
- Wireless, ad hoc and sensor access devices.
- Wireless internet access technologies
- Mobile commerce technologies
