SIGMOBILE 1998-99 Annual Report

Executive Committee Additions
 
We are delighted to announce that Prof. Sajal Das of the University of Texas at Arlington has accepted our invitation to join SIGMOBILE's officer roster as its Publicity Director. In this position, Sajal will work closely with the other Chairs to come up with innovative ways of promoting and increasing the visibility of our organization and our journals.

Sajal was invited because of his strong organizational and publicity skills, which he has demonstrated repeatedly over the last several years. In 1998, with SIGMOBILE's endorsement, he started a new ACM workshop on "Wireless Mobile Multimedia" which became one of the most successful workshops SIGMOBILE has ever sponsored. In addition, he is the founder of the annual IEEE workshop on "Distributed Interactive Simulation and Real-Time Applications" and has assisted in many IEEE Technical Committees. His enthusiasm for the job and the energy he will bring to it were a strong factor in his appointment.

We are very happy to have Sajal on our team and are looking forward to working with him as he strengthens an area of SIGMOBILE that has been slightly problematic, i.e -- worldwide name recognition.
