CWN 2014 - The First International Workshop on Cooperative Wireless Networks (CWN 2014)

CWN 2014 will take place in Laranca, Cyprus, on October 8-10, 2014, collocated with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2014).
The aim of this workshop is to provide a space for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in cooperative wireless networks, a key element for the advance of the Future Internet. The concept of cooperation can be applied to a wide scope of technologies, systems and applications, in order to achieve an efficient use of the spectrum (cognitive radio), extended network coverage (cooperative diversity, multi-hop relaying), improved performance and reliability (network coding, cross-layer protocols) and user safety (vehicular networks, emergency networks), among other aspects.
The organizers of this workshop invite prospective authors to submit high-quality technical papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics of interest:
Power management in wireless cooperative networks
Dynamic resource allocation in wireless cooperative networks
Cross-layer management and protocols for cooperative networks
Cross-layer design and optimization for cooperative networks
Control and management in cooperative networks
Network coding in cooperative networks
Cognitive radio and spectrum management
Cooperative communications: multi-hop and hierarchical relaying
Cooperative diversity
Cooperative compensation policies
Multimedia transmission in cooperative networks
Cooperation in 5G networks (information theoretic aspects, scaling laws)
Cooperation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Cooperation in Vehicular Wireless Networks
Performance analysis in cooperative networks
Applications and services over cooperative networks
Test-beds and experimentation on cooperative networks
