SCOPE
-----

Mobile computing   and communications devices   will  have an enormous
impact on   our lifestyle over  the  next  several  decades.  Wireless
connectivity with mobility support is an important enabling technology
for  pervasive  computing and     communications.  The  emergence   of
multi-hop wireless network (wireless ad hoc networks, sensor networks)
and The mobility of distributed computing components raise a number of
interesting, and difficult theoretical and algorithmic issues and will
play a   key  role in  development  and   progress of these   emerging
paradigms.

FAWN 2006 is devoted to algorithms, theory and modeling in the context
of mobile and wireless computing and networking.  It is intended to be
a  lively meeting,  covering many  of  the algorithmic aspects of this
field ranging  from   optimization, computational   geometry,  spatial
stochastic models  for wireless communications,  graph, random graphs,
spatial  point   processes   and stochastic    geometry, discrete  and
continuum percolation,    theory combinatorics     and   approximation
algorithms.  The workshop  is intended   to foster cooperation   among
researchers in mobile   computing  and  researchers in  discrete   and
distributed algorithms and offer an opportunity to discuss and express
their views  on  the current trends  challenges and  state of the  art
solutions addressing issues in wireless computing and networking.

The aim of  FAWN  2006  is to   show how  theoretical and  algorithmic
aspects  in the   context    of mobile  and  wireless  computing   and
communications can  be used  to analyze  and optimize  key features of
wireless  networks like    coverage,  mobility,  routing,    capacity,
scheduling, power control etc.
