 The Fifth Nordic Workshop on System and Network Optimization
 for Wireless (SNOW'14)
 Åre, Sweden
 2 - 4 April 2014
 http://snow.itn.liu.se/

 The Fifth Nordic Workshop on System and Network Optimization
 for Wireless (SNOW) aims at bringing together researchers
 and students from the academia and industry working in
 wireless
  networking. The scope of the workshop is broad and intended
 to accommodate a wide variety of backgrounds, attitudes, and
 ideas in wireless communications ranging from cellular
 broadband to ad hoc / mesh networking, and from the physical
 up to the application layers.
 
 We welcome contributions within a broad range of wireless
 networking and cross-layer optimization, from fundamental
 information theoretic results to considerations for
 multimedia quality of service. Our goal is to have a single
 track meeting with lively scientific discussions and
 fruitful exchange of research views and perspectives. The
 program will be organized to promote networking activities
 between the participants including daily social outdoors
 activities, primarily skiing.
 
 We therefore invite submissions of extended abstracts (2
 pages maximum, double column, IEEE style) for technical
 presentations or posters targeting, but not limited to the
 following
  topics:
 
 •                         
 Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity,
 coverage, delay)
 •                         
 Scalability and manageability of network architectures
 •                         
 Resource management, mobility management, and admission
 control
 •                         
 Inter-networking and integration of wireless heterogeneous
 and multi-tier
  networks
 •                         
 Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and Internet of
 Things (IoT)
 •                         
 Performance engineering in WLAN, MESH, FSO, LTE, and other
 cellular or multitier technologies
 •                         
 Location and tracking
 •                         
 Wireless network planning, capacity analysis, and topology
  control
 •                         
 Self-organizing wireless networks
 •                         
 Game theoretic models, pricing and incentives
 •                         
 Energy efficiency and green communications
 •                         
 Delay tolerant wireless networks
 •                         
 Cognitive radios
  and cooperative/opportunistic communications
 •                         
 Massive MIMO (or large-scale antennas systems)
 •                         
 Compressed sensing applications in wireless networks
 •                         
 Ad hoc, mesh and sensor networks
 •                         
 Advanced physical layer solutions
