Call For Papers WiOpt'09

7th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization
in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks

June 23-27, 2009, Seoul, Korea

Co-located with IEEE ISIT 2009

Technically sponsored by the IEEE Information Theory Society

Scope of the Symposium

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.

Contributions to this conference 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Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.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 architectures
• Pricing and incentives
• Opportunistic and cooperative communications
• Network and multi-user information theory
• Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay)
• Energy efficiency
• Cognitive radio

Submissions

The submission format for the papers is an extended abstract, up to eight pages long. Please use the IEEE Transactions format, 11 pt character size, one column text, one-and-a-half line spacing, 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.).

Adjunct Workshops

Five one-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt symposium:

• RAWNET/WNC^3 2009 : Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks

• PHYSCOMNET 2009 : Physics inspired Paradigms for Wireless Communications and Networks
  

• SPASWIN 2009: Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks

• WiNMee 2009 : International Workshop On Wireless Network Measurement

• WMCNR 2009 : Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics

Journal Issues

A small number of accepted papers from both the main event and the workshops will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Mobile Networks and Applications Journal (http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036).

In addition, we have reserved 2-3 slots in an upcoming special issue on "Ad Hoc Networks and Pervasive Computing" of Wiley's Journal on Security and Communication Networks, for the most outstanding papers dealing with security aspects of wireless networks and appearing in either WiOpt or adjunct workshops.
