      Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At Dartmouth
                 In Cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE
            http://crawdad.cs.dartmouth.edu/workshop2006

           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. We are planning an interactive,
collaborative program.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Anyone who collects, or 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.
