WorkShop Program
 
In response to the call-for-participation, we received 28 papers covering a range to
different topics related to mobile distributed computing. Each paper was reviewed by at
least three members of the Program Committee. The final program includes 12 regular
papers and 6 short papers. The organizing committee wants to thank the Program
Committee members for their in-depth and timely reviews of the papers. Without their
help and advice this program would not be possible. Thanks to Hong-Va Leong for
serving as the Publicity Chair. We also want to thank Prof. Jie Wu, ICDCS Workshop
Chair, for his help and guidance in workshop organization.
