6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks

Mar 31, 2008 - Apr 4, 2008,
Berlin, Berlin Germany

The design of wireless networks offers challenges not present in fixed networks: both the offered traffic and the network capacity depend on the mobility of the nodes. The designs should not only be functioning correctly, they are also expected to optimize the performance with respect to many criteria, such as energy efficiency, quality of service, and capacity utilization. This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes different perspectives, including performance analysis, protocol design, wireless communication, and optimization theory. Contributions to this conference should improve the state-of-the-art in design, analysis, dimensioning and operations of wireless network by providing insights into theoretical aspects as well as providing practical methods and tools. All forms of wireless networks are of interest: from cellular wide-area and local-area networks to dense and sparse ad-hoc networks; domain specific vehicular, public-transport and personal-area networks as well as application-specific sensor networks.

2008 Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks

Mar 31, 2008 - Apr 4, 2008,
Berlin, Berlin Germany

This workshop focuses on models and techniques for addressing resource allocation problems in wireless networks. Resource management in wireless environments is extremely complex due to the specific characteristics of wireless communications, such as user mobility, interference, the intrinsically scarce bandwidth, and the highly variable and unpredictable propagation conditions. These features present a vast range of novel and fundamental challenges as wireless networks evolve to support an expanding variety of data applications. In particular, data streams have drastically different traffic characteristics and Quality-of-Service requirements from voice services, urging a radical overhaul of voice-centric air-interface and resource allocation paradigms. In addition, existing congestion control protocols for data flows like TCP were originally designed for wire-line networks, and are not well-suited to wireless links which are inherently slow and error-prone. A further dimension of complexity stems from the growing diversity in network architectures, as wireless LAN's and ad hoc networks rapidly proliferate, giving rise to a wide spectrum of pricing and routing issues.

An Isaac Newton Workshop: High Dimensional Statistics in Biology

Mar 31, 2008 - Apr 4, 2008,
Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, London, England United Kingdom

The study of biological systems has been revolutionized by the advent of large scale systematic data gathering. Led by the Human Genome project, but extending across many biological disciplines, an increasing number of large and complex datasets has been developed which inform our biological understanding of both the normal workings of organisms in biology and processes which cause disease.

The analysis of these datasets ,which has become an increasingly important part of biology, poses a number of interesting statistical problems, largely driven by the complex inter-relationships between measurements .The size and complexity of these datasets make even adaptation of existing statistical techniques to biological problems novel . In some cases, the development of entirely new statistical methods is necessary.Methods developed and developing for high dimensional (large p) and possibly small sample size (small n) inference seem particularly germane.So do methods such as FDR for simultaneously testing many hypotheses.

In this workshop we aim to provide a collegial, inter disciplinary group of both statisticians and biologists to exchanges ideas and challenges at the Newton Institute in Cambridge UK. Drawing on both nearby expertise at the Hinxton Campus (the EBI and the Sanger Institute) and worldwide expertise in statistics the workshop will involve short talks from both biologists and statisticians and less structured, collaboration based time.

13th IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems.

Mar 31, 2008 - Apr 4, 2008,
University of Ulster, Belfast, Ulster, Ireland

Complex computer systems are common in many sectors, such as manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace, hazardous environments, energy, and health care. These systems are frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by many diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, long life concerns, and other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict, and their satisfaction therefore requires managing the trade-off among them during system development and throughout the entire system life.
