from high-speed local networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor
networks have been reported at this conference. We encourage you to submit
original papers describing research results or practical solutions in 
leading
edge topics. Paper topics include, but are not limited to:

Ad hoc networks                   Adaptive applications
