ADPNA 2014 - The 8-th International Workshop on Advanced Distributed and Parallel Network Applications (ADPNA-2014)

Nowadays, information networks are developping very rapidly and evolving to heterogeneous networks. Thus, we have an increasing number of applications and devices. To optimize the communication in these heterogeneous systems, we need to propose and evaluate more complex schemes, algorithms and protocols for wired and wireless networks.
Wireless communications are characterized by high bit-error rates and burst errors, which arise due to interference fading, shadowing, terminal mobility, and so on. Since the traditional design of the algorithms, methods and protocols of the wired Internet did not take wireless networks into account, the performance over wireless networks is largely degraded. Especially, the multi-hop communication aggravate the problem of wireless communication even further. To solve these problems, there has been increased interest to propose and design new algorithms and methodologies for wireless communication.
The aim of this workshop is to present the innovative researches, methods and numerical analysis for wireless communications and wireless networks. The workshop seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics.
