8th Workshop on Spatial Stochastic

Models for Wireless Networks

May 14, 2012, Paderborn, Germany.

Held in conjunction with WiOpt 2012.

http://spaswin.org/

The performance of wireless networks depends critically on the spatial

configuration of the transmitters, receivers and relaying nodes. As a

result, the modeling of such networks requires methods and tools from point

process theory, stochastic geometry and random graph theory. The art of

modeling wireless networks is strongly multi-disciplinary, combining these

spatial, stochastic tools with information and communication theory,

networking theory, combinatorics, and game theory. SpaSWiN is the first

workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for

improved design of wireless networks. Building on the success of the seven

previous venues of the workshop: in Riva del Garda (2005), Boston (2006),

Limassol (2007), Berlin (2008), Seoul (2009), Avignon (2010) and Princeton

(2011), the goal of SpaSWiN 2012 is to bring together researchers from the

various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications.

Please join us in Paderborn, Germany on May 14, 2012.

Call for papers

The technical program committee is soliciting contributions that employ

spatial stochastic models - including, but not limited to, point processes,

stochastic geometry, discrete and continuum percolation, and random graphs

- to design and analyze wireless networks. All aspects and technologies of

wireless networking will be considered, including (but not limited to): ad

hoc, cellular, mesh, sensor, mobile, hybrid, and two-tier networks; models

for coverage, connectivity, capacity, delay, energy efficiency; distributed

routing and scheduling protocols and algorithms; network information

theory; power and topology control; mobility models.

Authors are invited to submit titles and extended abstracts. Submitted

manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in length, including figures,

appendix and bibliography. Abstracts should be formatted in two columns

with a point size greater or equal to 10pt. Submissions will be done

electronically in Adobe PDF format. Accepted abstracts will be published in

(post)-workshop materials, with the copyright left to the authors. Authors

will be offered the possibility to have their 6-page abstracts listed in

the IEEExplore as well as in the IEEE digital library, with IEEE

publication status.

Papers may be submitted through EDAS at http://edas.info/N11511
