Network optimization and performance evaluation is still a topic that attains a lot of attention in network/Internet and distributed systems. Due to the recent advances in Internet based applications as well as distributed and mobile communication systems, we are witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these systems are becoming very large and complex, and consuming large energy at the same time. System optimization and performance evaluation remain to be resolved before these systems become a commodity.Following the success of NOPE 2017 in Guangzhou, China and NOPE 2016 in Zhangjiajiie, China, the 6th IEEE International Workshop on Network Optimization and Performance Evaluation (NOPE 2018) will be held in Guangzhou, China during Decemeber October 8-12, 2018.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and share their research and development experiences. We welcome contributions within a broad range of network optimization and performance evaluation, from fundamental information theoretic results to considerations for network quality of service. Our goal is to have a single track meeting with lively scientific discussions and fruitful exchange of views, and to accommodate a wide variety of backgrounds and research attitudes.
