We are delighted to welcome you to Philadelphia for the 2004 ACM International Workshop on Mobility Management and Wireless Access (MobiWAC 2004). With the advent of wireless and mobile devices, wireless communication technology is enjoying its fastest growth period in history, and this is likely to continue in the near future, while affecting the way we live and work. Yet, mobility and wireless device access are still in their early stage of development. This workshop was created to highlight two of the important challenges in realizing the dream of "anytime, anywhere" communication and computing, i.e., mobility management and wireless access. This MobiCom workshop follows the successful first MobiWac Workshop that was held in Forth Worth, TX last year.The workshop program proudly presented to you consists of an impressive set of high quality technical papers and posters. Also featured is a high-profile keynote address from Prof. Sajal Das of the University of Texas, a distinguished and well known researcher who has made significant contributions to wireless networking. We do hope that you will find the presentations useful to your own research and lead to further innovations in this field.The success of this workshop required significant effort and dedication on the part of many people. We greatly appreciate the tireless and diligent efforts of Prof. Sotiris Nikoletseas, the Program Committee Chair, who put together an excellent technical program especially given the short review turnaround time. We are indebted to the members of the Technical Program Committee who were remarkable in completing reviews in a timely manner, especially given the short review time. We are also thankful to our publicity chair, Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare, for persistently advertising this event in several ways that gained us significant visibility in the research community. We extend our greatest gratitude to our sponsor ACM SIGMOBILE, MobiCom 2004 Organizing committee and to the ACM Staff for all their support.Most of all, we would like to thank all of you, the attendees, for supporting this workshop. We encourage you to interactively participate in this workshop and avail of the numerous networking opportunities. We also hope that you have had or will find the time to explore this historical city of Philadelphia, one-time national capital. Finally, we solicit your continued support in the future and welcome your valuable feedback and comments.

Choosing beacon periods to improve response times for wireless HTTP clients
The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard power-saving mode (PSM) allows the network interface card (NIC) to periodically sleep between receiving data. In this paper, we show that 802.11 PSM performs poorly due to the fact that an access point is unable to ...
Looking at protocol efficiency from a new angle: stability—delay analysis
Path stability is a very critical issue in resource-constrained environments as frequent route discoveries can easily congest the network and also unnecessarily exhaust the battery power of nodes. We quantify path stability in terms of the number of ...
