WICAT Workshop on Cooperative Communications

Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, New York

October 21, 2005

Recent advances in ad hoc, infrastructure based and hybrid wireless networks
reveal many benefits of cooperation among nodes. Terminals can share
resources through physical, MAC, network and application layer cooperation
to obtain higher reliability, throughput, energy efficiency, and to discover
and disseminate information more effectively than they would if they acted
independently.

This workshop will bring together researchers exploring cooperative
communications at all layers of the protocol stack. They will present new
results, describe work in progress and explore relationships among their
diverse approaches. There will be talks, posters, a soapbox session for
brief presentation of new ideas. It will conclude with a lively panel and
audience debate on what it all means and where it is going.

If you would like to give a talk or display a poster, please send an
extended abstract (up to 3 pages, single column) to Elza Erkip
elza@poly.edu, by August 15, 2005. Organized by Wireless Internet Center for
Advanced Technology, a National Science Foundation Industry/University
Cooperative Research Center at Polytechnic and Columbia University.
