This has been made possible due to the tremendous and continued growth of wireless communications and network technology over the past decade, providing infrastructures for "anytime anywhere" access to distributed computing systems and information repositories. The mobility of users offers new challenges to seamless connectivity in a distributed, heterogeneous network of wireline and wireless components. Several techniques and algorithms developed by the parallel and distributed computing community can be applied to solve typical wireless networks and mobile computing : routing, scheduling, load balancing, cache coherence, information access, and QoS provisioning problems. The objective of this workshop is to bring together technologists and researchers of international reputation in the areas of Parallel and Distributed Computing and Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing in order to have a forum for discussions, exchange of ideas and presentations. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts for for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the IPDPS workshops Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Processor Architectures for Mobile and Wearable Computers * Wireless networks in grid computing applications * Routing in adhoc networks * Parallel and distributed techniques for solving problems in mobile computing * Distributed techniques for QoS Provisioning in wireless networks * Distributed caches in mobile computing environments * Caching, prefetching, pushcaching and replication to enhance information access in wireless networks * Distributed wireless sensor networks * Routing and location independent information access * Scheduling issues in mobile computing * Parallel/distributed algorithms for mobile computing systems * Distributed Wireless multimedia systems * Active Networks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Authors are invited to submit summaries of original unpublished research to one opf the the Workshop Chairs. All submissions will be reviewed by referees. Summaries should not exceed ten (10) single-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References, figures, tables, etc. may be included in addition to the ten pages of text. The summary should include an abstract of approximately 100 words. The corresponding author is requested to include in a cover letter: (1) complete postal address; (2) email address; (3) phone number; and (4) fax number. Submissions may be by hard copy or by email. Electronic submissions are preferred and should be sent to kumar@cs.curtin.edu.au or spirakis@cti.gr. Authors should submit the cover page in ASCII form followed by a PostScript (level 2) file and make sure that it will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11 inch (US letter size) paper. For hard copy submissions, authors should submit seven (7) hard copies of their paper along with the cover letter to Mohan Kumar or Paul Spirakis. All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be received by October 30, 2000. Submissions received after the due date or exceeding the length limit may not be considered. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 10, 2000. Camera-ready papers are due January 15, 2001.
