N2 Women is pleased to announce the 1st Networking Networking Women Workshop. This workshop, which will be co-located with MobiCom/Hoc, will bring the research and career interests of women in networking and communications to the forefront. The N2 Women workshop has the following goals:

* Creating new research connections
* Mentoring undergraduate, graduate, and post-doc students
* Obtaining feedback on research from members of the community

The workshop will feature keynote talks from distinguished members of our community, panel sessions, mentoring sessions, and a poster session. Keynote speakers include Radia Perlman (Intel), the "Mother of the Internet" and Klara Nahrstedt (UIUC), the Ralph M. and Catherine V. Fisher Professor.
Thanks to support from CRA-W/CDC, the N2 Women Workshop will not have a registration fee. Travel support for participants may also be available. Space will be limited; thus, those interested in attending will need to apply to attend.

Call for Posters
Posters are solicited for research related to any aspect of networking and communications. All researchers in the networking and communications fields are welcome to submit their work for presentation at this workshop. Each poster abstract will be reviewed by three members of the TPC. Posters will not be published and hence can be under submission for other conferences or workshops.

Submission Information
Each submission should be formatted as an extended abstract, describing the research to be presented in the poster. The length of the extended abstract should be at most TWO pages (formatted into the US letter size of 8.5 × 11 inches with fonts no smaller than 10 point size), including all figures and references. The extended abstract must include the names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors and should be submitted as a single PDF file to EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mobicomhoc2010.
