CALL FOR PAPERS

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE

This is the third in a series of international workshops
aimed at stimulating technical exchange in the emerging and
strategically important field of mobile multimedia
communications. MoMuC-3 is intended to provide a timely
forum for exploratory research contributions, and to promote
cross-disciplinary technical interactions in an informal
setting. The scope of the workshop includes broadband
wireless networking for data and multimedia, together with
associated mobile computing terminals, video processing and
software.

VENUE

The workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in
Princeton, NJ, USA, September 25-27, 1996 (just prior to
ICUPC'96 in Boston, MA). Princeton is a convenient location
at the center of the Boston-New York-Washington Corridor,
with easy access from major airports, highways and train
routes. The NY/NJ area is also the home of several R&D
organizations and universities with activities related to
mobile multimedia. Workshop attendees will enjoy convenient
access to the scenic university town of Princeton, as well
as the major metropolitan attractions of New York and
Philadelphia.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The three day technical program will primarily consist of
contributed research papers. In addition, there will be a
few invited speakers and expert panel sessions providing a
broad perspective in each technical area. Demonstrations
and tours of local R&D facilities will also be arranged as
appropriate.
