CALL FOR PAPERS
HICSS-36 Minitrack on
MOBILE DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS
http://www.ipsi.fraunhofer.de/mobile/hicss
Part of the Software Technology Track
Thirty-sixth Annual
HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
January 6 - 9, 2003,
Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstracts due: March 31, 2002
Full Papers due: June 1, 2002
In today's mobile society, access to relevant information and to
context-specific services "anytime, anywhere" is becoming increasingly
important. Mobile users are often particularly interested in = information
about and services in their immediate vicinity, thus Mobile Distributed
Information Systems must address location-dependent distribution of and
access to services and information from mobile devices. The user's
topological and geographical location becomes relevant for the = semantics
of communication, and such communication has to remain seamless even in
foreign environments, with little or no need for manual = reconfiguration.
Frequently, in addition to his location, the user's current situation
determines his information and service requirements. With mobile = devices
becoming more and more powerful, mobile users themselves may offer
information and services to peers in an ad-hoc manner. Consequently, = the
long-established distinction between clients and servers is blurred, which
calls for an extension of the architecture paradigm towards peer and/or
alternating roles.
This Minitrack will address current topics in the field of
Mobile Distributed Information Systems, such as:
Location and Situation aware Information Services
Network Support for Mobile Access to Services and Information
Ad hoc Networking
Quality of Service for Mobile Information Access
Directory Services, Service Discovery, Service Brokers
Service Interoperability, Service Distribution, Service Management
Self-/Zero-/Auto-Configuration, Dynamic Configuration
for Mobile Users
Distributed Databases and Data Management for Mobile Access
Modeling a User's Situation
Mobile Devices: GUIs and Usability
Management of Groups of Mobile Users
Location Tracking Technologies
Fundamentals of location-based Information and Service Distribution
Architectures for Mobile Computing and Peer Service Provision
Security Aspects of Mobile Distributed Information Systems
Charging Models for Mobile Information and Service Access
Business Opportunities and M-Commerce Potential of
Mobile Distributed Information Systems
Mobile Service and Information Provision in the Tourism Industry
Case Studies of Mobile Distributed Information Systems

IMPORTANT DEADLINES
March 31, 2002 Abstracts submitted to hicss@ipsi.fraunhofer.de
for guidance and indication of appropriate content.
June 1, 2002 Full papers submitted to hicss@ipsi.fraunhofer.de
August 31, 2002 Notice of acceptance or rejections of papers sent
to Authors by Minitrack Chairs.
October 1, 2002 Accepted manuscripts submitted electronically to
the publisher of the conference proceedings. At
least one author of each accepted paper must
register to attend the conference by this date.
Registration cancellations after this date may
result in the paper being pulled from the
Proceedings prior to printing. See conference web
site for registration fee refund policy.
NOTE: Because HICSS is a nonprofit activity funded entirely by
registration fees, all participants and speakers are expected to have
their university/organization bear the costs of their expenses and
registration. HICSS is not able to subsidize registrations or offer
reduced fees.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
1. Abstracts and full papers may be submitted by email to
hicss@ipsi.fraunhofer.de as PDF, Postscript, or RTF documents.
Abstracts may also be sent in ASCII format and are expected to be
300-500 words. Full papers should consist of 22-26 double-spaced
pages, including diagrams. Papers may be theoretical, conceptual
or descriptive in nature. (NOTE: The final paper will be 10 pages,
double-column, single-spaced.)
2. Do not submit the manuscript to individual Minitrack Chairs - use
the above alias instead. Papers should contain original material
and not be previously published, or currently submitted for
consideration elsewhere.
3. Each paper must have a title page to include title of the paper,
full name of all authors, and complete addresses including
affiliation(s), telephone number(s), and e-mail address(es).
4. The first page of the manuscript should include only the title and

HICSS conferences are devoted to advances in the information, computer,
and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and
practice. Invited papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or
descriptive in nature. Submissions undergo a peer referee process and
those selected for presentation will be published in the Conference
Proceedings (IEEE). Submissions must not have been previously =
