SpaSWiN 2012 - 8th Workshop on Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks

SpaSWiN 2012

8th Workshop on Spatial Stochastic

Models for Wireless Networks

May 14, 2012, Paderborn, Germany.

Held in conjunction with WiOpt 2012.

The performance of wireless networks depends critically on the spatial
configuration of the transmitters, receivers and relaying nodes. As a
result, the modeling of such networks requires methods and tools from point
process theory, stochastic geometry and random graph theory. The art of
modeling wireless networks is strongly multi-disciplinary, combining these
spatial, stochastic tools with information and communication theory,
networking theory, combinatorics, and game theory. SpaSWiN is the first
workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for
improved design of wireless networks. Building on the success of the seven
previous venues of the workshop: in Riva del Garda (2005), Boston (2006),
Limassol (2007), Berlin (2008), Seoul (2009), Avignon (2010) and Princeton
(2011), the goal of SpaSWiN 2012 is to bring together researchers from the
various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications.
Please join us in Paderborn, Germany on May 14, 2012.

Call for papers


The technical program committee is soliciting contributions that employ
spatial stochastic models - including, but not limited to, point processes,
stochastic geometry, discrete and continuum percolation, and random graphs
- to design and analyze wireless networks. All aspects and technologies of
wireless networking will be considered, including (but not limited to): ad
hoc, cellular, mesh, sensor, mobile, hybrid, and two-tier networks; models
for coverage, connectivity, capacity, delay, energy efficiency; distributed
routing and scheduling protocols and algorithms; network information
theory; power and topology control; mobility models.

Authors are invited to submit titles and extended abstracts. Submitted
manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in length, including figures,
appendix and bibliography. Abstracts should be formatted in two columns
with a point size greater or equal to 10pt. Submissions will be done
electronically in Adobe PDF format. Accepted abstracts will be published in
(post)-workshop materials, with the copyright left to the authors. Authors
will be offered the possibility to have their 6-page abstracts listed in
the IEEExplore as well as in the IEEE digital library, with IEEE
publication status.

Papers may be submitted through EDAS at http://edas.info/N11511
