           4th ACM International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis
              and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems


                In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2001

                               SCOPE

In its fourth year, the 2001 International Workshop on Modeling and 
Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, will take place in Rome,
Italy, 
just after the International Conference on Mobile Computing and
Networking 
(MobiCom 2001), in July 2001. This is an excellent opportunity to
partake 
in two events covering a wide range of research in wireless and mobile
systems.

                        WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

Wireless systems are growing incredibly fast in recent years. Pushed by
the 
increase of the number of users and by the introduction of new services,
and 
supported by the development of new technologies, the growth of the
complexity
of these systems makes the performance evaluation and design of wireless 
systems more and more challenging. Simulation is frequently used as an 
approach to cope with the variety of details typical of complex wireless
and 
mobile systems. Analytical approaches are necessary to provide a deep 
comprehension of the system dynamics which have a major impact on the 
performance. 

This workshop will focus on all aspects of wireless systems,
particularly 
modeling analysis and simulation in wireless communication. 

ACM MSWiM 2001 serves as a forum for researchers from academia, industry
and 
research labs, for presenting recent research results in Modeling and 
Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. The conference features
prominent 
invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. 
A special session will be devoted to the proposal of new tools. 

The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited papers, 
and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by ACM
CS-press. 

A Special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET will be planned which will
contain 
selected papers from MSWiM.

                     WORKSHOP CALL-FOR-PAPERS 

Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results
of 
significance. Demonstration of new tools and simulation languages are
very 
desirable. 

The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to: 

- Performance evaluation and modeling of mobile and wireless
communication 
  networks FDMA, TDMA, CDMA system RF capacity simulation and analysis 
- Simulation methodology for large scale wireless systems Network
support for 
  QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile systems 
- Simulation and analysis of wireless protocols and standards Modeling
and 
  simulation of mobile computing systems 
- Design methodologies for wireless systems 
- Wireless data and multimedia services 
- Traffic measurements in wireless systems 
- New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems 
- Parallel and distributed simulation of wireless systems 
- Modeling and analysis of speech, audio and video wireless transmission 
- Database management systems and mobile computing (location based
queries, 
  wireless data caching, mobile transactions) 
- Wireless data dissemination (broadcasting and indexing techniques) 
- Ad Hoc networking and computing 
- Mobile agents support for wireless networks 


                       SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 

Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 20 pages.
Papers 
must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form to 
mswim@mail.tlc.polito.it in postscript or pdf format. 
Each submission must be accompanied by the following information: a
