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  
- Broadcast communication

Submission Instructions:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Papers are solicited as full papers of no more than 6 pages, each of

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.
