========================================================
ACM MobiCom 2016, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing
and Networking, is the twenty second in a series of annual conferences
sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the challenges in the
areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The MobiCom
conference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum
addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support
mobile computers and wireless networks.

Program highlights this year:

- Special Test-of-Time Award Session

In celebration of the inaugural SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time awards, there will
be a special half-day session as part of the main conference program. The
authors of each award paper will be invited to give a 15-minute
presentation followed by panel-style discussions and Q&A sessions. The
event will culminate in a forward-looking panel on the future of mobile and
wireless systems.
