MobiDE'03  STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS PROGRAM

                  3rd ACM International Workshop on 
            Data Engineering for Wireless and Mobile Access
   
                        September 19, 2003
                   in San Diego, California, USA 
   
                    http://db.cs.pitt.edu/mobide03
   
                In conjunction with ACM Mobicom 2003
   
                     Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 
                   In-cooperation with ACM SIGMOD
   
                     with Industrial Sponsors: 
            ABC-Virtual, Intel Research, Microsoft Research,
                   IBM Research, Hewlett-Packard Labs
	  	                and
  		        NSF Support (pending)
   

This is the third of a successful series of workshops that aims to act
as  a bridge  between the  data management,  wireless  networking, and
mobile computing  communities.  The 1st MobiDE workshop  took place in
Seattle,  Aug. 1999,  in conjunction  with  MobiCom 1999  and the  2nd
MobiDE workshop  took place in  Santa Barbara, May 2001  together with
SIGMOD 2001.  The  workshop will serve as a  forum for researchers and
technologists   to  discuss   the   state-of-the-art,  present   their
contributions, and set future directions in data management for mobile
and  wireless  access. In  order  to  expose  young and  new  computer
scientists to emerging research  opportunities, this year's MobiDE has
initiated a student travel program.

A  limited  number  of  travel  grants  are  available  for  full-time
students.   Interested  students   should  apply  with  the  following
application material:

  (1) curriculum-vita

  (2) a brief statement (not exceeding 2 pages) describing the reasons
      why  he/she  would  benefit  from attending  MobiDE  2003.  This
      statement  should include  a summary  of the  student's research
      work, and

  (3) A recommendation letter from the student's advisor verifying the
      full-time  student  status  and  endorsing the  application  for
      travel support.

Applications should  be submitted by  email to mobide@cs.brandeis.edu.
The deadline for the receipt of applications is August 1st, 2003.
