WD 2013 - WD Track on Wireless and Mobile Network Management

Mobile and Wireless Networks and their related services have been rapidly growing over the last two decades, reaching nowadays an unprecedented level of popularity. These networks yield significant management challenges ranging from successful service delivery over heterogeneous networks to semantic interoperability between different offered services, including mobile networks (such as 3G and Beyond), wireless packet networks (802.11, 802.16, Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks), middleware, applications, and devices. In this context, current management systems struggle to maintain operational requirements, to address structural as well as technological advances, and to handle the complexity, heterogeneity and automation required as these networks continue to evolve.
This track aims to provide a technical forum to bring together experts from industry and academia across the world in order to discuss and present innovative ideas and the results of their ongoing research.
