Call for Papers (Main-Program)

The 22nd International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt 2024) aims to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions from different fields in networks. It welcomes original and high-quality paper submissions related to modeling, performance evaluation and optimization of networks. The focus includes mobile networks, social networks, vehicular networks, content-driven networks, cloud and edge computing systems, Internet of Things, quantum networks, AI/ML-enhanced networks, etc. We encourage both theoretical contributions and real world empirical measurements and experimental studies.

The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Modeling, model validation and performance analysis
• Cross-layer design and optimization / control
• Scaling laws and fundamental limits
• Network architectures and protocol design
• Resource optimization
• Network economics and pricing
• Game theory for networks
• Quality of Service solutions
• Energy efficiency, harvesting, power control and management
• Security, trust, and privacy
• Network resilience, anomaly detection, and reliability analysis
• Data collection and analytics for networks
• Edge and Fog computing, Mobile and Cloud computing
• Content distribution networks and wireless caching
• Reflective intelligent surface for communication networks
• Machine learning techniques for wireless communications and networking
• UAV communications in 5G and Beyond Networks
• Integrated sensing and communication
• Semantic and goal-oriented communications, and age of information
• Distributed computation, communication-computation tradeoffs
• Distributed and federated machine learning over heterogeneous networks
• Human-centric communication and networking for Metaverse
• Design and Analysis of Quantum Networks

WiOpt 2024 will give one Best Paper Award and one Best Student Paper Award. For the Best Student Paper Award, the first author of the paper needs to be a full-time student at the time of paper submission. A selected set of papers will be offered the opportunity for a Fast-Track submission of an extended version to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking or IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering. WiOpt 2024 will have the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Control Systems Society and of the IEEE Information Theory Society, and the support of IFIP. The copyright of published papers belongs to IFIP, which implements a free open access policy: authors effectively hold the copyright of their papers, and IFIP automatically grants authors permissions to reuse the material as they wish. The published papers will be available in the Digital Library of IFIP at no cost neither to authors nor to readers, and will also be included for publication in IEEE Xplore. WiOpt has longstanding associated workshops, and these workshops’ CFP for 2024 will be announced separately.
