       Conference on Modeling and Design of Wireless Networks 
                      Denver, 23-24 August 2001 
   Part of SPIE's ITCom 2001 - International Symposium and Exhibit 
  on the Convergence of Information Technology and Communications, 
                20-24 August 2001, Denver, Colorado. 

Conference Chair: Edwin K. P. Chong, Purdue University 
                  (beginning August 2001, Colorado State University)

 Program Committee: 
 Roger S. Cheng, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

 The convergence of information and communication technologies has 
 created the potential for making use of the wireless medium to support 
 not only voice, but also data, video, and other multimedia services. 
 The design and engineering of wireless systems that can provide 
 sophisticated applications and services relies on the development of 
 key technologies, from the physical layer to the application layer. 
 The increasing interest in guaranteed network services points to 
 wireless systems that are engineered specifically to enable the 
 implementation of such services.  Recent work in wireless systems also 
 suggests the need for designs that take into consideration the 
 interactions between design layers, including the physical, link, MAC, 
 and network layers.  Future wireless systems supporting sophisticated 
 applications and services will be the basis for a wireless information 
 society where access to information and communication services, such as 
 electronic commerce, is available anytime, anywhere, and to anybody. 

 The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and 
 engineers in wireless networks, with a focus on the efficient use of 
 wireless resources to enable sophisticated network capabilities, such 
 as QoS and multimedia services. This conference is part of the ITComm 
 Symposium and Exhibit, which focuses on the convergence of information 
 and communication technologies. The symposium will take place in the 
 beautiful Denver/Boulder area, a fast-moving high technology corridor 
 also called "Silicon Mountain." 

 Authors are invited to submit abstracts in the following and 
 related topics: 
 * QoS in wireless networks 
 * Highspeed wireless data 
 * Resource allocation 
 * Transmission scheduling 
 * Admission control 
 * Power control 
 * Flow control in wireless networks 
 * Mobility management 
 * Handoff management 
 * Channel allocation 
 * Network capacity 
 * Multi-access schemes (e.g., CDMA and OFDM) 
 * Space-time communications 
 * Cellular wireless networks 
 * Ad hoc wireless networks 
 * Satellite wireless networks 
 * Pricing 
 * Utility-based schemes 
 * Interaction between physical, MAC, and network layers 

 Submitted abstracts should be of approximately 250 words.  There 
 will be a proceedings, published by SPIE, distributed at the 
 conference.  Accepted papers will be allocated up to 15 pages in 
 the proceedings.
