This workshop is intended to bring together leading researchers from both 
academia and industry to present both foundations and practical methods and 
tools for modeling and optimisation of mobile and ad-hoc networks.
 The workshop will bring together researchers studying optimisation issues 
of mobile networks from both the network performance and the mobile 
networking perspectives:

*  Mobile Network Optimisation: Applications and Algorithms
*  Performance characterisation and optimisation of
   	mobile/wireless networks and systems
*  Protocols design (MAC, Routing) for optimal mobile network
   	utilisation
*  Tools for network optimisation
*  Energy efficiency in mobile networks
*  Security and co-operation models for mobile networks
*  Pricing and incentives in mobile and ad-hoc networks.

Presentations will be selected based on an extended abstract of three pages 
that should be sent via email to [email-masked]. Authors of 
accepted presentations will have the opportunity to publish either the 
extended abstract or the full paper in a proceedings volume. Full papers 
will further be considered for publication in a special issue of 
the high-level journals MONET and Performance Evaluation.
