Monday July 2, 2007 9:00-12:30, Tutorial Session Leonardo Badia, Institutions Markets Technologies (IMT) - Lucca Institute for Advanced Studies: Joint Routing and Scheduling in Wireless Mesh Networks Abstract:Wireless Mesh Networks are multi-hop networks which provide wireless connectivity between clients and the Internet through dedicated router platforms. The clients can be mobile, but the routers are usually stationary.

Monday June 26, 2006 9:00-12:30, Tutorial Session Prof. Giorgio Franceschetti, University Federico II of Napoli, Italy and UCLA, USA, 'An overall vision of electromagnetic propagation in built-up areas' Abstract: Propagation in the urban environment is in principle a well-posed problem: the electromagnetic field radiated by prescribed sources must fulfil Maxwell equations in the open space and boundary conditions over the built-up buildings walls.

Monday June 27, 2005 9:00-12:30, Tutorial Session Prof. Witold Krzymien, University of Alberta, Canada: 'Techniques for high throughput wireless packet data access'Abstract: In delay-tolerant wireless packet-data applications, throughput can be maximized by exploiting multiuser diversity through scheduling of packet transmissions only to a user (or users) experiencing the (absolutely or relatively) best propagation conditions.
