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.
