2nd Mediterranean Workshop
on Ad-Hoc Networks


MED-HOC NET 2003
Mahdia, Tunisia,  June 25-27, 2003

First Call for papers

The second Med-Hoc-Net 2003 is a major annual international workshop in the Mediterrnean 
region. It brings together researchers, technologists and visionaries from academia, research 
labs, and industry, engineers and students  to exchange, discuss and share their experiences, 
new ideas and research about  theoretical and practical aspects of ad-hoc networking. The 
Med-Hoc-Net 2003 second edition intends to build upon the background of the previous 
workshop Med-Hoc-Net 2002 held in Sardegna, Italy, by presenting theoretical and practical 
achievements and advances in the field, current research, experience reports, ongoing 
prototyping efforts, case studies, and description of innovative ad hoc systems.

Keynote Speaker :  Leonard Kleinrock  (UCLA)
                   "Ubiquitous Computing"
