ACM MSWiM 2001 4th ACM International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2001 July 16-21th, 2001 URL: http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2001/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOPE In its forth 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 short abstract, a complete list of authors and their affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, postal and e-mail addresses. IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: May 5, 2001. Notification of Acceptance: June 5, 2001 Camera Ready version due: TBD Workshop presentation in Rome: July 21, 2001 IMPORTANT: ATTENDANCE BY AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR IS MANDATORY.
