Top eight reasons for attending ACM/USENIX MobiSys 2003

1. The first ever single-track conference focused on the design, 
   analysis and implementation of mobile and wireless systems

2. 23 great papers selected by active researchers in the field.

3. 4 great tutorials taught with a pragmatic flavor covering 
   important topics.

4. 1 great keynote by Bob Broderson, known world-wide for his pioneering 
   work in mobile and wireless systems

5. 1 great panel, 5 great panelist – how does one evaluate Ubiquitous
   computing?
 
6. Show and tell, see some very cool research demos.

7. Good food, good location, good company, good friends

8. Smart and hungry (I mean in the intellectual sense ☺) students


I hope to see you there. 
(Please forward to your colleagues)
 
Thanks,

Dear Colleague,
 
We invite you to The First International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys 2003).
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MobiSys 2003
May 5-8, 2003  - San Francisco, CA, USA
 
http://www.usenix.org/mobisys03/
http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2003

  
Just added panel on, ”How Should We Evaluate Systems Contributions to Ubicomp?" 
 
Because Ubicomp systems always have a human in the loop, some of the traditional criteria by which classical systems work has been evaluated are not easily applied to ubicomp. This panel will take a hard look at evaluation criteria, including metrics, tactics, and possible new collaborations. Our panelists are academic researchers and industry practitioners who have architected, designed, implemented, and deployed mobile or ubiquitous computing systems to actual users.
 
Register by April 14, 2003 and SAVE!
 
The conference will begin with a full day of technical tutorials on:
 
• Programming Wireless Sensor/Effector Networks of TinyOS Motes 
	- David Culler and members of the TinyOS team 
• An Intro to Wearable Computing 
	- Bradley Rhodes and Thad Starner 
• Mobile Networking  
	- Thomas F. La Porta 
• 802.11 Wireless Network Security 
	- Bernard Aboba and Dan Simon, Microsoft 
 
Technical presentations on security, location management, application support, mobile architectures, sensor networks, energy management, analysis of mobile networks, application mobility, and a variety of interesting systems techniques for solving mobility problems.
 
MobiSys 2003 also features a combined demo and poster session for presentation of demos and early-stage research, a Birds-of-a-Feather  Sessions for informal discussions among colleagues of similar interests, a luncheon speaker, and a keynote address by one of the luminaries in our field:
       Bob Brodersen of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center 
			and the University of California at Berkeley.
