The Second Nordic Workshop on System and Network Optimization for Wireless (SNOW) aims at bringing together Researchers and Students from the Academia working in wireless networking, primarily in the Nordic region.

--------------------------------------------------

This year, the Nordic SNOW Workshop aims to have a special focus on broadband cellular access (HSPA, LTE/LTE-A, etc) and emerging wireless networking paradigms such as collaborative and heterogeneous networking. We further welcome presentations within a broad range of wireless networking cross-layer optimization, from fundamental communication performance analysis to considerations for multimedia QoS.

Our goal is to have a single track meeting with lively scientific discussions and exchange of views, and to accommodate a wide variety of backgrounds and research attitudes. The program will be organized in such a way to promote networking activities between the participants, including daily social outdoors activities like skiing.

We therefore invite for review submissions of up to 1-page abstracts of technical presentations targeting, but not limited to the following topics:

• Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay)
• Cellular systems, 3G/4G, LTE-advanced, WMAN, WRAN, and other emerging broadband wireless networks
• Inter-networking and integration of wireless heterogeneous and multi-tier networks
• Performance engineering in HSPA, WLAN, MESH, LTE, and other cellular or multitier technologies
• Wireless network planning, capacity analysis, and topology control
• Cognitive Radios and cooperative/opportunistic communications
• Self-organizing wireless networks
• Game theoretic models, pricing and incentives
• Resource management, mobility management, and admission control
• Energy efficiency and green communications
• Delay tolerant wireless networks
• Scalability and manageability of network architectures
• Automated planning and resource allocation in 3G HSPA (and beyond) networks

Abstracts must be submitted electronically through the Nordic SNOW workshop web page:

The workshop keynote presentations will be soon announced on the workshop web page.
