Call For Papers - Deadline: 10 April, 2008
IEEE International Workshop on WDN 2008
International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks

Date and Location: September 15, 2008, Cannes, France

=======================================================

We would like to invite prospective authors to submit
technical papers to IEEE International Workshop on
Wireless Distributed Networks (WDN 2008), which will
be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008, 15 September,
2008, Cannes, France. Authors are encouraged to submit
original, high uality research papers addressing the
below stated areas.

* IMPORTANT DATES:

2 June, 2008 Final manuscript
15 Sept, 2008 Workshop

* SCOPE:

With diversification of wireless access technologies and
their application fields, the role of wireless access is
no longer the last hop terminal access, but also for
repeating functionality such as mesh/multi-hop/ad-hoc/sensor
networking. Thereby more complicated wireless networking,
especially radio resource management is required to well
organize whole the networks. In such cases, it is almost
impossible to optimally conduct wireless resource management
based on a centralized control policy. Rather, distributed
and/or cooperative control techniques should be introduced
in necessary parts in any layer, such as distributed antenna,
cognitive radio, distributed MAC, and dynamic heterogeneous
networking. To systematize an academic basis of this new
research field and to discuss the adaptability of these new
technologies to enhance the performance of wireless
distributed networks (WDN), the workshop named WDN 2008
will be held. In order to achieve such purpose, we believe
that cross layer discussions among researchers in the
field of physical, MAC, and network layers are required.
WDN 2008 will be held in conjunction with PIMRC 2008,
as part of the conference workshops to make up various
contributions as well as invited contributions from many
research fields related to wireless distributed networks.

* TOPICS AREAS:

The main purpose of this workshop is to systematize an
academic basis over the various topics in wireless
distributed networks as listed below, and to discuss
the adaptability of these new technologies to enhance
the performance of wireless distributed networks.

- Application
Ad-hoc network, Multi-hop network,
Mesh network, Sensor network, Cognitive radio,
heterogeneous network, and cooperative transmission system

- Technology
Network coding, Super position coding, Cooperative sensing,
Cooperative relay, Virtual antenna array, Distributed
antenna system, BS or AP cooperation, Distributed RRM
or scheduling, Distributed MAC, Distributed MIMO,

optimization, Game theory, Graph theory, Bayesian network

* PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

Papers should be written following the PIMRC 2008 paper instruction.
Papers should be written in English, not exceeding 5 double-column
pages (overlength pages will be charged for). Please, submit
your paper using EDAS before 10 April 2008.
