* Submission Deadline Extended to* Nov.30.2008


Rapid progress in wireless communication technologies makes ad hoc and
pervasive computing to be reality. To provide pervasive computing services,
i.e., anytime and anywhere for everyone, mobile devices must be capable of
doing ad hoc computing. The emergence of such computing environment changes
the way people live, work, and interact with each other, and has great
impact on the way businesses, education, entertainment, and healthcare are
operating. Despite substantial progress in ad hoc and pervasive computing
technologies, many challenges regarding to data management need to be
overcome: scalability, processing, power management, and networking
infrastructure. This workshop invites quality papers articulating new
perspectives related to the mentioned issues. Topics that are targeted in
this workshop include, but not limited to:



*Ad Hoc Computing*

1. Data management in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks

2. Localization and location tracking

3. Power management and energy-efficient design

4. Topology control and time synchronization
