Scope

Mobile computing aims at ubiquitous user access to computer application. To make it possible, networking technology which enables Internet access anytime and everywhere, i.e. ubiquitous networking is necessary. It is obvious that with the accelerating trends towards mobile networks, ad-hoc networks, and wireless networks, mobile computing and ubiquitous networking will play an important role in future network. This conference is aimed at providing researchers and practitioners in this hot research area a forum for discussion and collaboration. Authors are invited to submit papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Applications and services for mobile computing
• Network architectures, protocols, or service models for ubiquitous networking
• Network management for ubiquitous networking
• Data management for mobile computing
• Security in mobile computing and ubiquitous networking
• Wireless and mobile communications
• Nomadic computing
• Ad-hoc networks
• Mobile Internetworking
• Performance evaluation for mobile computing and ubiquitous networking systems
• Location Based Service
• Broadcast Communication

Location and Date

The location of the NTT DoCoMo R&D Center is in the heart of Yokosuka Research Park(YRP) where a lot of wireless communication related research institutes are established. YRP is really the heart of wireless communications research in Japan. Japanese old city Kamakura, a famous historic city, is 30 minutes by train. Beginning of the year is one of the best seasons for visiting Japan.
