CALL FOR PAPERS

RAWNET 2012

SCOPE
---------------------------

The RAWNET 2012 workshop will focus on resource allocation, cooperation,
and competition in both static and mobile wireless networks. The workshop
encourages papers with novel approaches to management of resources such as
spectrum, bandwidth, power and energy, storage, and caching capacity, and
computational power. Cooperation and competition schemes across the protocol
layers will be considered, ranging from the physical layer up to the application
layer. Of particular interest are cooperation mechanisms for large-scale
wireless networks that allow for efficient allocation of network resources,
energy management, processing, dissemination and location of information,
and distributed computation.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
---------------------------

Original contributions in resource allocation and cooperation for
large-scale wireless networks are solicited in, but not limited to,
the following directions:

* Data dissemination in large-scale wireless networks
* Energy management in wireless networks
* Wireless online social networks
* Economics-inspired resource management and mechanism design
* Cooperation schemes for resource management in wireless networks
* Game theoretic approaches for wireless networks
* Distributed and in-network computation in wireless networks
* Distributed scheduling and resource allocation in large-scale
wireless networks
* Cooperation in physical and MAC layers, and analysis of
associated trade-offs
* Fairness vs. performance trade-off in wireless networks
* Effects of partial and incomplete state information on robust
and sustainable network designs.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------------

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts, which should not
exceed 8 single-column pages in length including figures, appendices
and references. The abstracts should be in PDF format with one-and-a-half
line spacing on a letter paper and have a font size of 11pt.
Submission will be handled via EDAS ( http://edas.info/N11513 ).
Full papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE conference double-column format
will be published in the conference proceedings.
