Call for Papers and Announcement
Conference on Modeling and Design of Wireless Networks Denver, 23-24 August 2001 Part of SPIE's ITCom 2001 - International Symposium and Exhibit on the Convergence of Information Technology and Communications, 20-24 August 2001, Denver, Colorado. Conference Chair: Edwin K. P. Chong, Purdue University (beginning August 2001, Colorado State University) Program Committee: Roger S. Cheng, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Suresh Kalyanasundaram, Motorola Labs Urbashi Mitra, University of Southern California Ness B. Shroff, Purdue University Steven Strickland, Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies I-Jeng Wang, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab Kimberly M. Wasserman, University of Michigan Junshan Zhang, Arizona State University The convergence of information and communication technologies has created the potential for making use of the wireless medium to support not only voice, but also data, video, and other multimedia services. The design and engineering of wireless systems that can provide sophisticated applications and services relies on the development of key technologies, from the physical layer to the application layer. The increasing interest in guaranteed network services points to wireless systems that are engineered specifically to enable the implementation of such services. Recent work in wireless systems also suggests the need for designs that take into consideration the interactions between design layers, including the physical, link, MAC, and network layers. Future wireless systems supporting sophisticated applications and services will be the basis for a wireless information society where access to information and communication services, such as electronic commerce, is available anytime, anywhere, and to anybody. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and engineers in wireless networks, with a focus on the efficient use of wireless resources to enable sophisticated network capabilities, such as QoS and multimedia services. This conference is part of the ITComm Symposium and Exhibit, which focuses on the convergence of information and communication technologies. The symposium will take place in the beautiful Denver/Boulder area, a fast-moving high technology corridor also called "Silicon Mountain." Authors are invited to submit abstracts in the following and related topics: * QoS in wireless networks * Highspeed wireless data * Resource allocation * Transmission scheduling * Admission control * Power control * Flow control in wireless networks * Mobility management * Handoff management * Channel allocation * Network capacity * Multi-access schemes (e.g., CDMA and OFDM) * Space-time communications * Cellular wireless networks * Ad hoc wireless networks * Satellite wireless networks * Pricing * Utility-based schemes * Interaction between physical, MAC, and network layers Submitted abstracts should be of approximately 250 words. There will be a proceedings, published by SPIE, distributed at the conference. Accepted papers will be allocated up to 15 pages in the proceedings. Important dates: Abstracts due from authors: 8 January 2001 Authors notified of review decisions: 15 April 2001 Manuscripts due from authors: 28 May 2001 For more information, see attached flyer. |
