CALL FOR PAPERS

(for details see http://www.wiopt.org/wiopt06cfp.pdf)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
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 OF THE SYMPOSIUM

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

Papers should be submitted in pdf or ps format through the EDAS system
