Welcome to WiOpt 2005 at Riva del Garda, Trentino, Italy

3rd Intl. Symposium
on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks

Scope Of the Symposium

The complexity of mobile, ad hoc, and wireless networks requires thoroughly founded models capturing their essential characteristics and new optimization techniques building upon such models. Insights into both the theoretical aspects of these problems as well as practical methods and tools are necessary. This conference—building upon the two successful WiOpt workshops—intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization issues from different perspectives, including performance analysis, mobile networking, wireless communication, and optimization theory.
Contributions to this conference should show new modeling and optimization techniques suitable for mobile/wireless networks or innovative applications of these techniques to improve network operation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited:
Modeling techniques and tools for mobile/wireless networks
Performance characterisation and optimisation of mobile/wireless networks and systems
Mobile network optimisation: Applications, algorithms, and tools
Protocol design for optimal mobile network utilisation
Models and optimization approaches for energy efficiency, QoS, bandwidth economy and
other aspects of mobile/wireless networks
Models and optimization techniques for non-standard network paradigms like sensor, vehicular, body area networks
Security and co-operation models for mobile networks
Pricing and incentives in mobile and ad-hoc networks

Papers should be submitted as extended abstracts of up to 8 pages.

The proceedings will be published by IEEE and accepted papers will be available online via the IEEE website.

Special Issue

Selected papers from WiOpt 2005 will appear in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Monet.

Adjunct Workshops

Several one-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt Symposium:

WiNMee 2005 : Measurement in Wireless Networks

RAWNET 2005 : Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks

SPASWIN 2005: Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks

NETCOD 2005 : Network Coding, Theory, and Applications

Best Student Paper Award

There will be the best student paper award. A student must be the first author to be eligible for the award (unless the order is alphabetical) and must present the paper. The decision will be made by the program committee based on the paper content as well as on the presentation. In order to be a candidate for the award, please send an email to the general chair and the program chairs along with an email from the adviser certifying that the student has had a major contribution in the paper.

The Best Student Paper Award is awarded to A. Tarello for the paper

Minimum Energy Transmission Scheduling Subject to Deadline Constraints

by A. Tarello, J. Sun, M. Zafer and E. Modiano
