Following the success of MobiWac events in Forth Worth, Philadelphia, and Maui, the 4-th Workshop on Mobility Management and Wireless Access (MobiWAC 2006) will be held in conjunction with MSWiM 2006 in Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain, on October 2-6, 2006.
SCOPE
Wireless communications technology is enjoying its fastest growth period in history. This unprecedented growth continues to affect the way that we live, work and play. Yet solutions for mobile wireless access are still in the early stages of development.
The MobiWAC workshop solicits papers from researchers and practitioners that address architectures, technologies and protocols for mobile computing and wireless access. Topics of particular interest include 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.
Accepted papers will appear in the Workshop proceedings published by ACM press.
