                       ACM International  Workshop on

             Mobility Management and Wireless Access Protocols


          September 26 - October 1, 2004, Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A.

                To be held in conjunction with MobiCom 2004.

   After the success of the first MobiWac Workshop in Forth Worth, TX,
   this year, the Workshop on Mobility Management and Wireless Access
   Protocols will be held in conjunction with MobiCom 2004.


                                   SCOPE

   With the advent of wireless and mobile devices, wireless communication
   technology is enjoying its fastest growth period in history, and this
   is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the way we
   live and work. Yet, mobility and wireless device access are still in
   their early stage of development.

   This workshop solicits papers, both form researchers and
   practitioners, dealing with mobile computing and wireless access
   technologies, with an emphasis on mobility and location management,
   ubiquitous and ad hoc access, awareness, mobile computational ambient
   agents, natural interaction and seamless access.
   The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited
   papers, panel discussions and tools demonstrations. The proceedings
   will be published by ACM CS-press.


                                   TOPICS

   Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical
   results of significance on all aspects of wireless and mobile access
   technologies with an emphasis on mobility management and wireless
   access.
   The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited, to:


     * Wireless/Mobile Access Protocols.
     * Wireless Web Access.
     * Fault Tolerance in Wireless Access Networks.
     * Application development for embedded electronics and mobile
       devices (with J2ME Wireless Devices, etc.).
     * Wireless Multimedia Protocols.
     * Design and architecture of wireless communication and mobile
       computing.
     * Mobile service and QoS management.
     * Localization and tracking of mobile users.
     * Modeling of wireless devices and networks.
     * Channel Allocation.

     * Large scale simulation.
     * Analysis of correctness and efficiency of protocols.
     * Pervasive Computing.
     * Ubiquitous and mobile access.
     * Security and privacy issues.
     * Awareness-dependent wireless applications.
     * Interactive applications.
     * Context-awareness.
     * Wireless, ad hoc and sensor access devices.
     * Wireless internet access technologies.
     * Mobile commerce technologies.
