OVERVIEW

Mathematical models play an important role in the understanding and control of wireless computer networks. They allow to obtain insight into how networks and traffic are formed, as well as into how to design mechanisms and algorithms to efficiently transmit information. Mathematical models are also an essential tool to understand the fundamental performance limits and trade-offs wireless networks. As the network infrastructure is changing and new applications are emerging, the mathematical models need to evolve as well. The workshop explores recent developments in mathematical modeling and analysis of wireless networks in areas such as network coding, cellular wireless networks, wireless ad hoc and mesh networks, and cognitive radio.
