Welcome to WNC3 !!

Research in the area of wireless communication networks has recently experienced an unprecedented embrace by both industry and academia. Interest has been fueled by advances that promise exponential gains in the error performance of networks with reduced structure, little central oversight, and limited computational capabilities. The research area's utility and challenging nature is demonstrated both by the contributions from a variety of disciplines, such as information theory, discrete mathematics, game theory and finance, as well as from the effort to unify the above and to bring forth the inherent complexities of multi-terminal communication and interaction.

In pace with the above challenges, the workshop will promote new results which explore the theoretical limitations of network communications, propose novel network coding schemes, present relaying methods and cooperation protocols, and investigate fundamental tradeoffs between cooperation and competition for resource allocation. The aim being to provide the participants with an in-depth and unifying exposition to the complex nature of analyzing, coding, cooperating, and competing in wireless networks, the workshop will seek to expose the intricacies of multi-terminal network theory and the advanced mathematical structures that support network communication and interactions.

In the framework of communication, cooperation and competition over wireless networks, papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following directions:

  • Cooperative diversity
  • Network coding techniques
  • Information theoretic bounds
  • Stochastic network optimization
  • Queueing theoretic aspects
  • Application of game theory tools
  • Application to sensor networks

 

Workshop co-chairs:

  • Yezekael Hayel (University of Avignon)
  • Samson Lasaulce (CNRS-Supélec)

 

Important dates:

  • Paper submission deadline: December 8, 2007.
  • Notification of acceptance: January 28, 2008.
  • Camera-ready papers due: February 21, 2008.
  • Early registration deadline: March 1, 2008.

 

Paper submissions will be handled electronically via Easychair. Authors should prepare a PDF or a PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 8 double-column pages, font size not smaller than 11 points, and can be prepared using the standard IEEE format.

The workshop proceedings will be listed in the IEEEXplore and the IEEE digital library.

 

The registration process has begun. See here for details.

 

Camera-Ready papers have to be uploaded into the ICST CMC (Conference Management Center) at http://www.icst.org/cmc/ , not in COCUS.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will receive the instructions once you have been created an account in the CMC system after the notification. Then you can use your existing Cocus login to access the CMC. Once logged in, select the conference/workshop you wish to upload a Camera-Ready paper for. Fill out ALL information for your paper, include all co-authors of your paper and please make sure to double-check for errors before submission..
