4th International Workshop on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks WMAN 04 To be held in conjunction with IPDPS' 2004 Supported by IEEE Computer Society April 26-April 30, Santa Fe, New Mexico ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Scope: The field of wireless and mobile computing is an important research challenging area, that emerges from the integration among personal computing, distributed computing, cellular technology and the Web. This is possible due to the continuously increasing interaction between communication and computing, which is changing the information access from the current reactive ``anytime anywhere'' into the incoming proactive ``all the time everywhere'' approach. Nowadays, there is a large variety of networks spanning from the well-known infrastructured cellular networks to non-infrastructured wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This scenario raises a number of interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues in diverse areas such as location management, resource allocation, ubiquitous information, network connectivity, reliability and security, and energy consumption. This workshop is intended to cover contributions in both the design and analysis of discrete algorithms and the system modelling 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. We are seeking for papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following: * algorithms and modeling for tracking and locating mobile users * algorithms and modeling on satellite and radio networks * frequency assignment algorithms * caching and prefetching for information access in wireless networks * cryptography and security * data management on mobile and wireless computing * distributed algorithms * algorithms for single-hop and multiple-hop packet radio networks * algorithms for resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks * energy saving protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks * pricing modelling and solutions * routing and communication primitives in ad-hoc and sensor networks * synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks * handover (handoff) solutions * algorithms for satellite communications * mechanism design and cooperation enforcement * complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments The accepted paper will be published by the IEEE ComputerSociety Press as part of the IPDPS'04 CD-ROM. Selected high quality papers will be considered for possible publication on a special issue of a scholarly journal. ______________________________________________________________________ General Chair: Cauiligi S Raghavendra Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA E-mail: raghu@usc.edu ______________________________________________________________________ Workshop Co-Chairs: Azzedine Boukerche Cristina M.

   Scope: The field of wireless and mobile computing is an important
   research challenging area, that emerges from the integration among
   personal computing, distributed computing, cellular technology and the
   Web.  This is possible due to the continuously increasing interaction
   between communication and computing, which is changing the information
   access from the current reactive ``anytime anywhere'' into the incoming
   proactive ``all the time everywhere'' approach. Nowadays, there is a
   large variety of networks spanning from the well-known infrastructured
   cellular networks to non-infrastructured wireless networks such as mobile
   ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This scenario raises a number of
   interesting, and difficult, algorithmic issues in diverse areas such as
   location management, resource allocation, ubiquitous information, network
   connectivity, reliability and security, and energy consumption.  This
   workshop is intended to cover contributions in both the design and
   analysis of discrete algorithms and the system modelling 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. 
   We are seeking for papers that are original, unpublished and not
   currently under review.

   Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following:

   * algorithms and modeling for tracking and locating mobile users
   * algorithms and modeling on satellite and radio networks

   * caching and prefetching for information access in wireless networks
   * cryptography and security
   * data management on mobile and wireless computing
   * distributed algorithms
   * algorithms for single-hop and multiple-hop packet radio networks
   * algorithms  for  resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc
     networks
   * energy saving protocols for ad hoc  and sensor networks
   * pricing modelling and solutions
   * routing and communication primitives in ad-hoc and sensor networks
   * synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks
   * handover (handoff) solutions
