WiOpt 2014, the 12th International Symposium on Modeling and
Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks is an
international forum aiming to facilitate the flow of expertise
between researchers and practicioners working on modeling and
optimization of wireless network design and operations. As
such, WiOpt 2014 solicits previously unpublished high-quality
contributions that propose original performance evaluation
methodologies (or different perspectives on older ones), new
results on the performance limits of wireless networks
(simulation-based or theoretic) and novel algorithms and
optimization methods with which to attain them.

WiOpt 2014 covers all types of wireless networks: cellular
(both wide and local area networks), metropolitan, ad hoc
(both dense and sparse), sensor, delay-tolerant, mesh,
content-driven, vehicular, or any convex combination of the
above. Contributions to the symposium should provide a
significant improvement over the existing state-of-the-art
for the design, analysis, and operational envelope of wireless
networks, either by offering new insights on theoretical
aspects (information-theoretic capacity, etc.), or by
proposing novel practical optimization methods and tools.

Topics of interest include - but are not limited to:
* Asymptotic system capacity and connectivity properties
* Cognitive radio and opportunistic spectrum access
* Cooperative networking
* Cross-layer design and optimization
* Delay tolerant networks
* Dynamic spectrum management
* Energy efficiency
* Game theoretic models
* Interference management
* Mobility modeling and management
* Modeling, simulations, and performances analysis
* Network economics
* Network and multi-user information theory
* Network protocol design
* Optimal control of network operations
* Optimization of network design
* Participatory sensing
* Routing protocols
* Scalability of network architectures
* Wireless network security

SUBMISSIONS
==============================================================

Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished
research papers. The length of the manuscripts will be limited
to 8 pages in double column IEEE conference style (10 point
size, with fonts embedded in the PDF file).

Submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/

All submissions will be evaluated for originality, impact,
clarity, technical rigor and correctness by two to three
expert researchers in the field of the submission. At least
one author of each accepted paper is required to register and
present the paper at the conference. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings and will be available
on IEEE Xplore (authorization pending).

WiOpt 2014 will grant a Best Paper Award and a Best Student
Paper Award (the first author should be a full-time student).

* NO SHOW POLICY:
Papers that are accepted but not presented by a registered
author at the conference will be removed from the proceedings.
