The design of wireless networks offers challenges not present in fixed networks: both the offered traffic and the network capacity depend on the mobility of the nodes. The designs should not only be functioning correctly, they are also expected to optimize the performance with respect to many criteria, such as energy efficiency, quality of service, and capacity utilization. This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes different perspectives, including performance analysis, protocol design, wireless communication, and optimization theory.
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.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Modeling of mobility and its influence on systems performance Approaches to dynamic spectrum allocation Interference control for unlicensed spectral bands Effective techniques for simulation of large wireless networks Delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication Fundamental performance limits Analysis and modeling based on measurements Protocol design for optimal system performance Pricing and incentives in mobile and ad-hoc networks Security and co-operation models and analysis Optimization techniques for performance, scalability and manageability Energy efficiency in mobile and sensor networks Measures of quality with associated performance evaluation WiNMee/WiTMeMo 2007 : International Workshop On Wireless Network Measurement
