Welcome to PHYSCOMNET'09

The growing complexity of current and future wireless networks has created the need for more creative methods to analyze, model and understand them. This will hopefully lead to new ideas to describe the emergent behavior arising in large-scale, massively-distributed and highly-interacting networks of heterogeneous wireless devices. Recently, there have been several fruitful insights and approaches inspired from the realm of the physical and mathematical sciences, including statistical mechanics, electrostatics, game theory and biology, in which intuition and analogies to paradigms from other fields have been exploited.

This workshop aims to bring together active researchers with different backgrounds interested in understanding and modeling the basic features of large-scale networks and wireless systems.
