CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
---------------------
o Keynote Address:
"Sentient Computing: The Interface is Everywhere," by Andy Hopper,
Professor, University of Cambridge, and Managing Director, AT&T
Laboratories Cambridge.
o Technical Sessions:
Twenty-eight technical papers will be presented describing
previously unpublished research on a wide variety of topics in
mobile computing and wireless networking, including prototype
systems and networks, location support and data dissemination,
packet scheduling and channel allocation, mobile internetworking,
data management in mobile systems, and routing for ad hoc
networks. Papers in a special session will challenge the community
with new technologies and visionary applications. This year's
conference received the largest number of paper submissions ever,
resulting in a highly selective technical program.
