Call for Participation
Workshop on Algorithmic Models of Wireless Communication (WRAWN)
Bergen, Norway
June 19-20, 2010
A satellite event of SWAT - http://org.uib.no/swat2010/
=========================================================================
The Workshop on Algorithmic Models of Wireless Communication has been
initiated to create a concerted effort to better understand the
fundamental algorithmic properties of wireless communication.
The workshop will be structured as a problem-solving event, with several
selected talks and short recent contributions interspersed with ample
time for discussions. There will be no formal proceedings, but a booklet
of abstracts will be distributed on site. An invited talk will be given
by Roger Wattenhofer, ETH.
Presentations are solicited. Please submit talk abstracts directly to
the organizers before May 1.

Workshop rationale:
Surprisingly little is known about the algorithmic complexity and
efficiency of wireless networks, despite their near omnipresence.
Fundamental questions such as how much wireless communication is possible
simultaneously are still yet to be resolved. Many of the answers depend
on the wireless transmission model. Past algorithmic research has largely
focused on graph-based models, which have been shown to be inefficient
and/or unrealistic, both theoretically and experimentally. In contrast,
research in communication, or network theory has centered on more realistic
model, such as the signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) model, but
primarly using experimental and heuristic approaches that give limited
insights into the complexity of the communication problems.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different
areas and disciplines to approach these questions in a new way, as well
as to introduce these emerging topics to young researchers.
