[DMANET] DIALM-POMC 2010 First Call for Papers

=======================================================================

DIALM-POMC 2010 First Call for Papers

Sixth ACM International Workshop on FOUNDATIONS OF MOBILE COMPUTING

Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
September 16, 2010
http://dialm-pomc2010.engineering.asu.edu/

[Co-located with DISC 2010]
(ACM SIGACT/SIGOPS approval pending)
=======================================================================

SCOPE:
Mobile computing and communications devices will have an enormous
impact on our lifestyle over the next several decades as the true
integration of personal computing, distributed computing, cellular
technologies and the Web becomes the reality. In the light of
continuously increasing interaction between communication and
computing, there arise a number of interesting, and difficult
algorithmic issues in diverse areas including coverage, mobility,
routing, cooperation, capacity planning, scheduling, and power control.

This workshop is devoted to cover contributions in both the design and
analysis of discrete and distributed algorithms and the system modeling
in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, and sensor networks.
In particular, it aims at bringing together the practitioners and
theoreticians of the field and is intended to foster cooperation among
researchers in mobile computing and researchers in discrete and
distributed algorithms. DIALM-POMC 2010 will be held on September 16,
2010 in Cambridge, MA, USA, and will be co-located with the 24th
Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2010). Previous DIALM-POMC
workshops had been co-located with the International Conference on
Mobile Computing and Networking (MOBICOM) and the Symposium on
Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC).

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research,
not currently under review by another conference or journal,
are solicited. 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:

- Channel assignment and management
- Energy saving methods and protocols
- Routing, multicast and broadcast
- Gossiping, information diffusion
- Scheduling
- Synchronization and discovery
- Emerging networks, including cognitive, delay-tolerant, ad hoc
and sensor networks
- Localization and location tracking, handover/handoff
- Network protocols: design, optimization, and analysis
- Local algorithms, algorithms with incomplete knowledge
- Distributed optimization algorithms
- Dynamic networks, dynamic graph algorithms
- Selfish behavior, incentives, and cooperation
- Modeling
- MAC layer protocols
- Network capacity
- Autonomous agents, mobile robot networks
- Location- and context-aware distributed systems
- Cryptography and security


SUBMISSIONS:

Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the
guidelines available on the DIALM-POMC web page. Papers for regular
presentation must be no longer than 10 pages on letter-size paper
using at least 11-point font, including figures, tables and references.
Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which
will be read at the discretion of the program committee.


PUBLICATION:
The selection of presentations will be based on peer-review by program
committee members. Papers will be included in the workshop proceedings.
Selected accepted papers will be invited for a special issue of the
Journal of Ad-Hoc Networks, Elsevier.
