DIALM-POMC 2010 Call for Participation

The Sixth ACM SIGACT-SIGMOBILE International Workshop on
FOUNDATIONS OF MOBILE COMPUTING

Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
September 16, 2010
http://dialm-pomc2010.engineering.asu.edu/

[Co-located with DISC 2010]

=======================================================================

SCOPE:
Mobile computing and communications devices will have an enormous
impact on our lifestyle over the next several decades as the true
integration of personal computing, distributed computing, cellular
technologies and the Web becomes the reality. In the light of
continuously increasing interaction between communication and
computing, there arise a number of interesting, and difficult
algorithmic issues in diverse areas including coverage, mobility,
routing, cooperation, capacity planning, scheduling, and power control.

This workshop is devoted to cover contributions in both the design and
analysis of discrete and distributed algorithms and the system modeling
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 and is intended to foster cooperation among
researchers in mobile computing and researchers in discrete and
distributed algorithms. DIALM-POMC 2010 will be held in September
in Cambridge, MA, USA, and will be co-located with the 24th Symposium
on Distributed Computing (DISC 2010). Previous DIALM-POMC workshops had
been co-located with the International Conference on Mobile Computing
and Networking (MOBICOM) and the International Conference on Principles
of Distributed Computing (PODC).

The workshop covers all areas related to mobile and wireless computing
and communications where discrete algorithms and methods are utilized.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

- Channel assignment and management
- Energy saving methods and protocols
- Routing, multicast and broadcast
- Gossiping, information diffusion
- Scheduling
- Synchronization and discovery
- Emerging networks, including cognitive, delay-tolerant, ad hoc
and sensor networks
- Localization and location tracking, handover/handoff
- Network protocols: design, optimization, and analysis
- Local algorithms, algorithms with incomplete knowledge
- Distributed optimization algorithms
- Dynamic networks, dynamic graph algorithms
- Selfish behavior, incentives, and cooperation
- Modeling
- MAC layer protocols
- Network capacity
- Autonomous agents, mobile robot networks
- Location- and context-aware distributed systems
- Cryptography and security
