Mathematical models play an important role in the understanding
and control of computer networks as they allow to obtain insight into how
networks and traffic are formed, as well as into how to design
mechanisms and algorithms to efficiently locate/disseminate/share
information. Mathematical models are also an essential tool to
understand the fundamental performance limits and trade-offs in computer
networks.
As the network infrastructure is changing and new applications are
emerging, the mathematical models need to evolve as well. The workshop
explores recent developments in mathematical modeling and analysis of
networks in areas such as wireline networks, wireless networks, P2P
networks, network formation, online social networks, and recommendation systems
