Call for papers

The spatial distribution of the transmitters, receivers and relaying nodes is an essential feature for assessing the capacity of a wireless network. 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 theory, combinatorics, game theory, and network protocols. SpaSWiN is the first workshop specifically devoted to the use of spatial stochastic models for wireless communications. Building on the success of the four previous venues of the workshop: in Riva del Garda, Italy (2005), Boston, Massachusetts (2006), Limassol, Cyprus (2007), and Berlin, Germany (2008) the goal of SpaSWiN 2009 is to bring together researchers from the various disciplines involved in spatial models of wireless communications. With WiOpt and ISIT being held back-to-back in Seoul, we expect to have top participants from both the networking and information theory communities, as well as from other research communities interested in the workshop theme. Please join us in Seoul, South Korea on June 26th, 2009.

Papers

We are soliciting abstracts that report on recent advances on spatial stochastic models for wireless networking as well as more theoretical papers of potential interest to wireless networks.

Scope

Spatial stochastic models include, but are not limited to:

• Point processes
• Stochastic geometry
• Discrete and continuum percolation
• Random graphs

All aspects and technologies of wireless networking will be considered, in particular:

• Ad hoc networks
• Cellular networks
• Mesh networks
• Sensor networks
• Mobile ad hoc networks
• Hybrid and two-tier networks
• Macroscopic laws for coverage, connectivity, capacity, delay and energy efficiency
• Distributed routing and scheduling protocols and algorithms
• Network information theory
• Power and topology control
• Mobility models

Submission guidelines

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, through Easychair. 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.
