[DMANET] WRAWN 2013 : Early registration until June 21

Call for participation:

Fourth Workshop on Realistic models for Algorithms in Wireless Networks (WRAWN)
Co-located with PODC 2013 in Montreal
http://wrawn.ru.is

The aim of the WRAWN workshop series is to study ways of capturing the
reality of wireless communication while maintaining both the
generality and feasibility of rigorous algorithmic development.

The goal of this year's WRAWN is to tackle a provocative question:
Is the study of wireless algorithms useful enough?

There will be no traditional presentations of specific technical
results. Instead, the presentations can be polemical (e.g., "graph
models are the tool of the devil!"), expository (e.g., "here are my
experiences integrating formal algorithm results into a real system")
or speculative (e.g., "we need to build a massive multi-institutional
testbed to systematically evaluate all major theoretical models...").

Plenty of time will be left for discussion and exploration of
collaboration opportunities. The goal is for attendees to leave with
new ideas, co-authors, and (hopefully) confidence in their work on
wireless algorithmics.

The meeting will be held at Concordia University in downtown Montreal,
from 9 to 5 on Sunday July 21.
