[DMANET] Call for participation: WRAWN 2012, July 8

Call for presentations:

Third Workshop on Realistic models for Algorithms in Wireless Networks (WRAWN)
Co-located with ICALP 2012 in Warwick
http://wrawn.ru.is

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 meeting is organized in the original sense of the workshop term,
with a mix of presentations and open-ended discussion sessions. There
will be no formal proceedings, but a booklet of abstracts will be
distributed on site. An invited lecture will be given by Santosh
Kawade, senior researcher at BT Research Labs, on topics at the
crossroads of theoretical and applied issues in wireless computing.

Presentations are solicited for contributed talks. To submit, send an
abstract, along with a copy or a link to a supporting publication, to
mmh@ru.is, anytime before May 30. Decision will be mailed within one
week of submission. Proposals will be admitted by the steering
committee based on technical novelty, exposition, and originality.

Deadline for submissions: May 30.
Program announcement: June 5
Workshop date: July 8

Steering committee:
Magnus M. Halldorsson (chair), Reykjavik University
David Peleg, Weizmann Institute
Berthold Voecking, TU Aachen
Roger Wattenhofer, ETH Zurich

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.
