                 Mobile Computing and Communications

                         September, 28, 2002

               (In conjunction with ACM  MobiCom 2002)

                      Sponsored by ACM Sigmobile

SCOPE

Mobile  computing and   communications  such as  portable   phones and
Personal Digital Assistants will have an  enormous impact on all of us
over the next several decades.   The introduction of mobility raises a
number  of new research questions. For  many of them, approaches based
on the continuous case  are not satisfactory,  and discrete models and
algorithms are required in order to deal with real applications.

The workshop DIAL M for Mobility is devoted to discrete algorithms and
discrete modelling in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. It is  intended to be a  lively meeting, covering many
of the   algorithmic and discrete  aspects  of this  field  going from
operations   research  to radio engineering  problems.     It aims, in
particular, at   fostering  the  cooperation  among practitioners  and
theoreticians of the field.  Following  the success the first workshop
held jointly with Mobicom 97 in Budapest,  DIAL M for Mobility will be
co-located  with   ACM/IEEE  MobiCom  98 and    will  be   composed of
contributed and invited talks.


                          FINANCIAL SUPPORT

A limited support is available  for students to attend the conference.
Please send an  email to one of  the Program Chairs to  obtain further
information. We encourage the students to apply as soon as possible.
