Workshop on Multi-Layer
Modelling and Design of
Multi-Hop Wireless Networks
(MLMD’06)
To be held in conjunction with
The 12th International Conference on Parallel and
Distributed Systems (ICPADS'2006)
Advance
Program
July 15,

Workshop
Scope:
This
workshop will present and discuss recent results that capture the performance
and design tradeoffs when multiple layers interact, as they do, in wireless
multi-hop networks. The layered architecture view of networks has allowed
various experts to work independently to optimize the performance at their
level of abstraction. Wireless multi-hop networks have challenged the benefits
of this approach, at least from a performance perspective. The fact that in
most sensor networks the performance and purpose are tightly coupled with a
physical phenomenon increases the coupling between the top and bottom layers of
the reference network protocols stack. Furthermore, we are witnessing an
increasing interest in terms of what the design of the Internet would be if we
have the chance to do it all from scratch.
Examples of
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
