9th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization
in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks
May 9-13, 2011, Princeton, NJ, USA


Scope of the Symposium
WiOpt 2011, 9’th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks, intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on modeling and optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes original, high-quality works on different perspectives, including performance analysis and simulation, algorithms and protocol design, optimization theory and application, information theoretic analysis including capacity scaling, for all forms of wireless networks: cellular, metropolitan, ad hoc, delay-tolerant, mesh, sensor networks as well as any combination of these.

Contributions to the symposium should improve the state-of-the-art in design, analysis, dimensioning and operations of wireless network by providing insights into theoretical aspects as well as providing practical methods and tools. All forms of wireless networks are of interest: from cellular wide-area and local-area networks to dense and sparse ad-hoc networks; domain specific vehicular, public-transport and personal-area networks as well as application-specific sensor networks. Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference are solicited.

Topics of relevance include, but are not limited to, the following ones:

Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay)
Cognitive Radios
Cross layer design and optimization
Energy efficiency
Game theoretic models, pricing and incentives
Interference in wireless networks
Mobility modeling and management
Modeling, simulations and performances analysis
Network and multi-user information theory
Network protocol design
Opportunistic and cooperative communications
Optimal control of network operations
Optimization of network design
Routing protocols
Scalability and manageability of network architectures
Security in wireless networks
The submission format for the papers is an extended abstract, up to eight pages long. Please use 11 pt character size, one column text, one-and-a-half line spacing, and letter paper. This page budget should contain all figures, tables, references, etc. The extended abstract should also include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS system (http://edas.info). Only PDF files are acceptable; please make sure that the paper prints without problems (take care to embed all required fonts, etc.). Full papers, of up to 8 pages, in IEEE conference double column format, will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website.

WiOpt 2011 will feature a Student Paper Award details of which will be available on the website.
