Call for Posters
Posters are solicited for research related to any aspect of networking and communications. All researchers in the networking and communications fields are welcome to submit their work for presentation at this workshop. Each poster abstract will be reviewed by three members of the TPC. Posters will not be published and hence can be under submission for other conferences or workshops.

Submission Information
Each submission should be formatted as an extended abstract, describing the research to be presented in the poster. The length of the extended abstract should be at most TWO pages (formatted into the US letter size of 8.5 × 11 inches with fonts no smaller than 10 point size), including all figures and references. The extended abstract must include the names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors and should be submitted as a single PDF file to EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mobicomhoc2010.

Important Dates:
Poster submission: July 19, 2010
Acceptance Notification: Aug 2, 2010
