RAWNET 2018 - 2018 International Workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks (RAWNET)

Emerging wireless networking technologies will provide advanced quality of service classes, including very high data rates over millimeter-wave frequencies, low latencies for specific use cases, as well as seamless connections in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In addition, these emerging technologies open the door for novel applications such as new social or location-based services, as well as new architectures such as node-centric and information- centric networks. The workshop will focus on resource management in emerging wireless networking technologies and applications. Approaches to resource management across protocol layers will be considered, ranging from physical layer to application layer issues. Of particular interest are resource allocation mechanisms for wireless networks that allow for the efficient allocation of network resources, the dissemination and exploitation of information, and for distributed computation. The applications can stem from any wireless scenario such as multi-cellular providers, 5G cloud-RAN, cognitive-radio or ad-hoc networks, and in existing or novel networking architectures, such as node-centric networking, information-centric networking or low-latency networks. Original contributions are solicited in, but not limited to, the following topics of interest:
Cooperation in mobile wireless networks
Spectrum sharing in millimeter-wave frequencies
Resource trade-offs in distributed optimization and coordination
Data dissemination in large-scale wireless networks
Mobile social networks
Caching in wireless and mobile networks
Distributed computation in wireless networks
