Announcement and Preliminary Call for Papers
Second USENIX Symposium on Mobile and
Location-Independent Computing
April 10-11, 1995
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Sponsored by the USENIX Association
The Second USENIX Symposium on Mobile and Location-
Independent Computing will provide a major opportunity for
researchers and practitioners in this rapidly growing field to
exchange ideas and present results of their work.
The First Mobile Computing Symposium, held in Boston in August
1993, generated a great deal of interest from the UNIX and mobile
computing communities. Since that time, mobile computing has
become an even hotter topic, with the size, cost, and power
requirements of the equipment going down. The FCC has
announced a plan to auction radio spectrum for use of mobile
devices, and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is in the
process of standardizing protocols for mobile TCP/IP, including
roaming capabilities. Mobile computers are the fastest growing
segment of the PC market, airlines are scrambling to provide
network connectivity on board, and terminal rooms at computer
conferences routinely provide network taps for users who bring
their own computers.
The 1995 symposium is a single-track symposium offering two
days of refereed paper presentations. The symposium will also
include panels, Work-in-Progress reports, Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions, and a Keynote speaker. Formally reviewed papers,
presented during the symposium, will be published in the
symposium proceedings. Proceedings will be distributed free to
attendees and later will be available for purchase from the
USENIX Association.

SYMPOSIUM TOPICS
We seek original and innovative papers about current
developments in mobile and location-independent computing. We
are especially interested in reports on practical experiences
with mobile systems. The Mobile Computing Symposium will
address a wide range of issues and ongoing developments,
including, but not limited to:
- Applications for the mobile user
- Navigation and positioning (GPS, etc.)
- Security, especially in wireless environments or when away
from home
- Caching and disconnected operation of applications and file
systems
- Communications Protocols, including mobile TCP/IP
- Wireless communications (CDPD, CDMA, GSM, Ardis/RAM,
cellular modem, etc.), and how they relate to and interact
with operating systems and applications
- Portable and mobile computing equipment
SUBMISSIONS OF REFEREED PAPERS
Submission of an extended abstract of 1500-2500 words (9000-
15000 bytes or 3-5 pages) is recommended. Shorter abstracts
run a significant risk of rejection as there will be little on which
the program committee can base an opinion. Extended abstracts
should be sent to Jim Rees at the address below.
For administrative reasons (not blind reviewing), each
submission should include a separate page or e-mail message
giving the title of the paper, the names and affiliations of the
authors, and the name of the author who will act as the contact
person for the program committee. For the contact person, also
include a daytime telephone number, postal address, e-mail
address and FAX number if possible.
For questions about refereed paper submissions and other
program concerns, contact the Program Chair; contact
information follows. If you would like to receive detailed
guidelines for submission and examples of extended abstracts,
you may telephone the USENIX Association office at +1 510 528-
8649 or email to mobile2authors@usenix.org.
USENIX symposia, like most symposia and journals, require that
papers not be submitted simultaneously to more than one
conference or publication and that submitted papers not be
previously or subsequently published elsewhere. Papers
accompanied by "non-disclosure agreement" forms are not
acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. All
submissions are held in the highest confidentiality prior to
publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in
accord with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976.
