PWC is the premier international forum for discussions between researchers, practitioners and students interested in the symbiosis of mobile computing and wireless networks. PWC 2003 is the eight conference of this series and is sponsored by IFIP WG 6.8
The PWC 2003 technical program committee is soliciting short papers on wireless and mobile communications that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development. The goals are to allow timely presentation and publication of these ideas. Short papers don't need to describe completed work, but the work should be advanced beyond the initial stages.
Areas of interest include those that are listed on the conference call for papers, which can be found at http://www.iit.cnr.it/pwc2003
WHY should you submit a short paper? ------------------------------------ This is a great chance for disseminating early results of your research to a wide and competent audience. This will help to create awareness around your ideas, will give you relevant feedbacks and open some discussions in your research direction.

A short paper (maximum 2000 words) must clearly describe the subject of your research, the innovative ideas behind it, the results already achieved, and your further work.
