Frontiers: July 2, 2019

Welcome to the Seventh Workshop on the Frontiers of Networks: Theory and Algorithms on July 2, 2019, held in coordination with MobiHoc 2019. The workshop brings together different research communities that utilize analytical methods to model, design and evaluate large scale networked systems. The workshop consists of invited talks of 30 minutes duration each, which explore a range of cutting edge topics in the space of communication, routing, scheduling, learning, games and optimization. Each speaker has made significant contributions to their respective areas, and brings a unique perspective on the topic of interest.

Please find the venue details here.

These talks will not be included in the MobiHoc proceedings.
