Call For Papers - Deadline: 20 April, 2008
IEEE International Workshop on WDN 2008
International Workshop on Wireless Distributed Networks

Date and Location: 15 September, 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.

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, the workshop named Wireless
Distributed networks (WDN2008) will be held in conjunction with
IEEE PIMRC 2008. In the workshop, cross layer discussions among
researchers in the field of physical, MAC, and network layers
are expected. Various contributions are welcome from many
research fields related to wireless distributed networks.

* TOPIC 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, Radio Spectrum Sensing, Spatial
spectrum sharing, Cross layer optimization
- Theory
Multi-dimensional Information theory, Convex
optimization, Game theory, Graph theory, Bayesian
network
