===================================================================== WiOpt'09 The 7th international Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks

http://www.wiopt.org

June 23-27, 2009, Seoul, Korea

Sponsored by ICST Technically Co-sponsored by Create-Net

(Co-located with IEEE ISIT 2009)

Technically sponsored by the IEEE Information Theory Society

Scope ---------- 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.

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.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

Adjunct Workshops ---------------------------- Five one-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt symposium:

RAWNET/WNC^3 2009 : Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks PHYSCOMNET 2009 : Physics-inspired Paradigms for Wireless Communications and Networks SPASWIN 2009: Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks WiNMee 2009 : International Workshop On Wireless Network Measurement ConCom 2009 : Control over Communication Channels (subject to change)

Important Dates ----------------------- Main symposium: June 25-27, 2009 (subject to change) adjunct workshops: June 23-24, 2009 (subject to change) Submission deadline: January 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready copy: May 1, 2009

Submissions ------------------- The submission format for the papers is an extended abstract, up to eight pages long. Please use the IEEE Transactions format, 11 pt character size, one column text, one-and-a-half line spacing, letter paper. This page budget should contain all figures, tables, references, etc. The extended abstract should also include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via the EDAS system (http://edas.info). Only PDF files are acceptable; please make sure that the paper prints without problems (take care to embed all required fonts, etc.).
