           Co-located with MobiCom in Los Angeles, CA, USA

CRAWDAD is the Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At
Dartmouth, an NSF-funded effort to build an archive with the capacity
to store wireless trace data and tools from many contributing
locations, and with the staff to develop better tools for collecting,
sanitizing, and analyzing this data. CRAWDAD supports the research
community by providing real data about wireless network usage,
including traffic and mobility patterns. The CRAWDAD project is
working with the community to ensure that the archive meets community
needs. One of our key efforts is to hold an annual, informal workshop
at Mobicom to share CRAWDAD news and to encourage the community to
help guide the CRAWDAD project. Last year, at MobiCom in Cologne,
Germany, we held the first CRAWDAD workshop where about 30 people
gathered to learn more about CRAWDAD and share their thoughts on its
direction.  Similarly, this year we structure the workshop as an
interactive workshop rather than as a mini-conference. It is short,
informal, and designed to be highly collaborative.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Anyone who collects or who uses traces of wireless-network activity in
their research or product development.  This includes people
interested in measuring or analyzing wireless-network traffic,
wireless-device mobility, or who build models or simulators of
wireless networks.
