WiOPT 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS


9th International Symposium on
Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks


May 31 - June, 2010, Avignon, France
http://www.wi-opt.org


Scope
This symposium 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.

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.

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

- Modeling, simulations and performance analysis
- Optimization of network design
- Optimal control of network operations
- Network protocols design
- Mobility modeling and management
- Scalability and manageability of network architecture
- Game theoritic models, pricing and incentive
- Opportunistic and cooperative communication
- Network and multi-user information theory
- Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay)
- Energy efficiency
- Cognitive radio
- Routing protocols
- Cross layer design and optimization

Adjunct Workshops
One-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt symposium:

RAWNET 2010 : Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks
SPASWIN 2010 : Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks
WiNMee 2010 : International Workshop On Wireless Network Measurement
WNC3 2010 : Wireless Networks : Communication, Cooperation and Competition
