Wide-area cellular systems and wireless LANs promise to make integrated networks a reality and provide fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile computing and communications, thus bringing an end to the tyranny of geography. Furthermore, services for the mobile user are maturing and are poised to change the nature and scope of communication. This conference, the second of an annual series, serves as the premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support the symbiosis of portable computers and wireless networks. PAPERS Technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, completed, and not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited on topics at the link layer and above. Topics will include, but are not limited to: * Applications and computing services supporting the mobile user. * Network architectures, protocols or service algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, or intermittent connectivity. * Design and analysis of algorithms for online and mobile environments. * Mobile network protocols * Performance characterization of mobile/wireless networks and systems. * Network management for mobile and wireless networks. * Data management in mobile computing * Service integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks. * Characterization of the influence of lower layers on the design and performance of higher layers. * Security, scalability and reliability issues for mobile/wireless systems * Mobile computing * Mobile agents * Power management * Wireless multimedia systems * Satellite communication * Location-dependent applications * Distributed system aspects of mobile systems * Adaptive applications interfaces suitable for mobile systems * Architectures of wireless and mobile networks and systems * Traffic integration for mobile applications All papers will be refereed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be selected for publication in the ACM/Baltzer Journal on Wireless Networks and the ACM/Baltzer Mobile Networks & Nomadic Applications Journal. HOW TO SUBMIT Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should Email a PostScript version of their full paper to: mobicom96@gucci.mirc.gatech.edu This Email address will become operational on March 1, 1996.

Evaluation of the proposals will be based on expertise and experience of instructors, and the relevance of the subject matter. Potential instructors are requested to submit at most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch to Arvind Krishna (krishna@watson.ibm.com). PANELS Panels are solicited that examine innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative issues of interest. Panel proposals should not exceed more than 3 pages, including biographical sketches of the panelist. Potential panel organizers should contact Tom LaPorta (tlp@boole.att.com). STUDENT PARTICIPATION Papers with a student as a primary author will enter a student paper award competition. The student will receive a cash award of $500,- US Dollars. A cover letter must identify the paper as a candidate for the student paper competition.

Local arrangements ------------------ The Doubletree is located at the foot of Canal Street where New Orleans' famed French Quarter and The Riverwalk meet. Shops along the Riverwalk carry jazz recordings, authentic New Orleans spices, and other unique items. Canal Street, in times gone by, was the demarcation between the French and English settlements. You will be able to leave the hotel and stroll through the Quarter to the 300 year old St. Louis Cathedral on whose plaza Andrew Jackson mustered his troops for the Battle of New Orleans. The more adventurous may venture beyond the city by enlisting in one of the many Louisiana swamp tours available or visiting the sites of old sugar cane plantations that line the river where the plantation homes exhibit the unique French colonial architecture.

Electronic news, however, has the potential to be interactive and personalized. While editors and algorithms may define the core content of electronic news, new communication technologies will enable users to have access to supplemental material from enormous archives in digital libraries and to continual streams of newly created data. Electronic news promises to deliver to the reader an "edited" collage of recent events from wide domains in a manner that is both comprehensive and personalized. The focus of this special issue will be on the research that is leading to the next generation of news systems, i.e., systems that draw current news stories from a wide variety of sources and media and integrate these stories into personalized multimedia "editions" of the news. These systems will be based on switched, high bandwidth, two-way communications networks. Suggested topics within the context of electronic news may include but are not limited to the following: - information filtering - digital libraries - multimedia - agents - human-computer interaction - content analysis - hypermedia - indexing - user modelling - categorization The guest editors for this special issue are Michael Shepherd (shepherd@cs.dal.ca), Carolyn Watters (cwatters@dragon.acadiau.ca), and Forbes J. Burkowski (fjburkow@plg.waterloo.edu). Authors should submit 3 copies of their manuscript, double spaced, following the style as described in the IP&M instructions to contributors to: Professor Michael Shepherd Department of Mathematics, Statistics & Computing Science Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada B3H 3J5 Important dates: Submission Date: March 15, 1996 Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 1996 Final Manuscript Due: September 15, 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dbworld alias reaches many people, and should only be used for messages of general interest to the database community.

ICDT is a biannual international conference on theoretical aspects of databases and a forum for communicating research advances on the principles of database systems. Previous ICDT conferences were held in Rome (1986), Bruges (1988), Paris (1990), Berlin (1992), and Prague (1995). Since 1992, ICDT has been merged with the Symposium on Mathematical Fundamentals of Database Systems (MFDBS), another series of conferences on theoretical aspects of database systems that was initiated in Dresden (1987), and continued in Visegrad (1989) and Rostock (1991). Topics: ICDT aims to attract papers of high quality, describing original ideas and new results on theoretical aspects of all forms of databases. Major themes to be covered include, but are not limited to: active database systems complex objects complexity and optimization concurrency control and recovery data models and design theory data structures & algorithms for databases database programming languages deductive databases and logic dependencies and constraints distributed and parallel databases fundamentals of security and privacy heterogeneous databases incomplete information multimedia information systems nonmonotonic reasoning object-oriented databases query evaluation and optimization query languages spatial and temporal data transaction management updates Submissions: Authors are invited to submit 8 copies of an extended abstract of about 5000 words (10 typed pages in no less than 11-point font) by June 13, 1996, to one of the program co-chairs: Program co-chairs: Foto Afrati Phokion G.
