IEEE GLOBECOM 2004Workshop

IEEE International Workshop on Online Algorithms for Mobile Wireless
Computing and Networking

November 28, 2004, Dallas, Texas, USA



Wireless mobile computing and networking deal with  inherently online
problems. An online problem/algorithm is one that has to make optimal
decisions for the future based solely on past and current information. These
decisions could be, for example, choosing a transmission power level for the
next packet based on the wireless channel state information available up
until then, or policy decisions to switch on/off a mobile sensor node based
on job arrival patterns. Online algorithms are useful in optimizing wireless
systems in best case, average case and worst case scenarios, and for
adaptive transmission, computing and sensing.



The intent of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners to present their ideas on using online algorithms for
optimizing mobile wireless computing and networking. The topics of interest
include (but not limited to):



      Adaptive techniques for energy efficiency (transmission and computation)
     Online resource sharing for mobile computing

      Online scheduling
     Stochastic learning and stochastic approximation based algorithms

      Competitive algorithms and competitive analysis of wireless protocols
     Applications such as image/video transmission and sensor networks

       Dynamic  game theory for wireless communication
     Iterative control techniques

      Channel-adaptive power/rate control


      Online access of mobile database

      Randomized algorithms
     Adaptive wireless security and privacy
