CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================
DialM-POMC 2007: The Fourth ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS International Workshop
on Foundation of Mobile Computing
http://www.asu.edu/DialM
GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP
---------------------
Mobile computing and communications devices will have an enormous
impact on our lifestyle over the next several decades. The mobility of
distributed computing components raises a number of interesting, and
difficult, algorithmic issues. This workshop is devoted to algorithms
and methods in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. The workshop is intended to foster cooperation among
researchers and industry collaborators in mobile computing and
distributed algorithms.
DATE AND VENUE
--------------
Date: August 16th, 2007
DIAL M-POMC, the Joint Workshop on Foundations of Mobile Computing
will be co-located with ACM PODC 2007 in Portland, Oregon at Hilton
Portland & Executive Tower, 921 SW Sixth Avenue, Portland, Oregon,
United States 97204.
PROGRAM
