CALL FOR PAPERS - SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Wednesday, October 5th

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WiOpt 2006 4th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'06) Boston, Massachusetts, April 3-7, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE

The complexity of mobile, ad hoc, and wireless networks requires thoroughly founded models capturing their essential characteristics and new optimization techniques building upon such models. Insights into both the theoretical aspects of these problems as well as practical methods and tools are necessary. This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization issues from different perspectives, including performance analysis, mobile networking, wireless communication, and optimization theory. Contributions to this conference should show new modeling and optimization techniques suitable for mobile/wireless networks or innovative applications of these techniques to improve network operation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Modeling techniques and tools for wireless networks

* Performance characterization & optimization of wireless networks

* Wireless network optimization: Applications, algorithms, and tools

* Protocol design for optimal wireless network utilization

* Models and optimization approaches for energy efficiency, QoS, bandwidth economy and other aspects of wireless networks

* Models and optimization techniques for non-standard network paradigms like sensor, vehicular, body area networks

* Security and co-operation models for mobile and ad hoc networks

* Pricing and incentives in wireless networks

* Game theoretic techniques for mobile/wireless networks

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Papers should be submitted as extended abstracts of up to 8 pages, single column format; and contain sufficient information to allow for a detailed review. The final manuscript will be 10 pages in double column format. Selected papers from WiOpt 2006 will appear in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Monet.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: Oct. 5, 2005 (5pm EST) Notification of acceptance: Dec. 5, 2005 Camera-ready copy: Jan. 5, 2006
