WiOpt 2011 - WiOpt 2011 : International Symposium of Modeling and Optimization of Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks

This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on modeling and optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes original, high-quality works on different perspectives, including performance analysis and simulation, algorithms and protocol design, optimization theory and application, information theoretic analysis including capacity scaling, for all forms of wireless networks: cellular, metropolitan, ad hoc, delay-tolerant, mesh, sensor networks as well as any combination of these.

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.

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.

Topics of relevance include, but are not limited to, the following ones:

Modeling, simulations and performance analysis
Optimization of network design
Optimal control of network operations
Network protocols design
Mobility modeling and management
Scalability and manageability of network architectures
Pricing and incentives
Opportunistic and cooperative communications
Network and multi-user information theory
Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay)
Energy efficiency
Cognitive radio
