Optimisation of Mobile Communication Networks - OMCO NET

Event: Mini Conference - Optimisation of Mobile Communication Networks

Date: 28-30 June 2012

Location: School of technology, Southampton Solent University

The mini conference “Optimisation of Mobile Communication Networks” focuses on advanced methods for search and optimisation applied to wireless communication networks. It is sponsored by Research & Enterprise Fund Southampton Solent University.

The conference strives to widen knowledge on advanced search methods capable of optimisation of wireless communications networks. The conference aims to provide a forum for exchange of recent knowledge, new ideas and trends in this progressive and challenging area. The conference will popularise new successful approaches on resolving hard tasks such as minimisation of transmit power, cooperative and optimal routing.
