Call For Papers
WiOpt 2013

11th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in
Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt 2013)
May 13-17, 2013, Tsukuba Science City, Japan


Scope of the Symposium
WiOpt 2013, 11th 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 Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference are solicited.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, e.g., capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay
Cognitive radios
Cross-layer design and optimization
Dynamic spectrum management
Energy efficiency
Game theoretic models, contract, 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

Submissions
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research papers. The length of the manuscripts will be limited to 8 pages (IEEE conference double column style). Please use 11 pt character size, double column text. This page budget should contain all figures, tables, references, etc. The research paper should also include a brief abstract of up to 200 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.).

All submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two to three researchers in the topic area. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the conference. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website. Best Paper Awards and Best Student Paper Awards (the first author should be a full-time student) will be granted. bsite.
