ACM MobiCom 2003, the Ninth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, will be held September 14-19, 2003, in beautiful, sunny San Diego, California. MobiCom is the premier international forum focusing on all areas of mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking at the link layer and above. Technical paper submission and selection for MobiCom 2003 is now complete, but it is not too late to present your work at the conference. MobiCom 2003 solicits posters for the Student Poster Session, as well as research demonstrations and product or service exhibits that showcase the state-of-the-art in mobile computing and networking systems. STUDENT POSTER SESSION MobiCom 2003 solicits student posters that present recent and on-going research by students on mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking topics. Presenting a poster at MobiCom is a great chance for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on their on-going work from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. Poster proposals should be a maximum of 2 pages in length. Although posters don't need to describe completed work, the work should be advanced beyond the initial stages. The primary author of all poster submissions must be a student. Poster abstracts will not be published in the conference Proceedings but will be published on the web before the conference. Poster submissions will be reviewed. Authors of accepted papers at the conference must not submit a poster of the work presented in that paper. For more information on the MobiCom 2003 Student Poster Session and for detailed submission instructions, please see the Student PosterSession web page at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2003/posters.html The deadline for submitting a student poster is July 31, 2003. We will select approximately 20 of the most interesting and thought-provoking posters by August 18, 2003 and notify the contact author of each poster then. For questions about the MobiCom 2003 Student Poster Session or the poster submission and review process, please contact the Student Poster Session Co-Chairs Nigel Davies and James Kempf . DEMOS AND EXHIBITS If you are implementing a ground-breaking system in your research that you would like to demonstrate for your peers, please submit a proposal of no more than 3 pages to the Research Demo Chair, David Maltz , by July 25, 2003. Demo proposals should include a description of the demo, the equipment to be used, the demo layout and space required to set up the demo, and possible interactions (interoperability or interference) with other proposed demonstrations. The basic facilities available will be those typical of a hotel meeting room: power, table space, and poster easels. 100Base-T and 802.11 network connections may be arranged if required. For more information on submitting MobiCom 2003 demos, please see the Demos and Exhibits web page http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2003/demos.html We are also planning an Expo at MobiCom 2003 featuring exhibits of the latest mobile computing products and services. If you are interested in exhibiting your product or service at MobiCom 2003, please see the Demos and Exhibits page of the MobiCom 2003 website for more information.
