                                SCOPE

In its fifth year, the 2002 International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis
and
Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, will take place in Atlanta,
Georgia,
just after the International Conference on Mobile Computing and
Networking
(MobiCOM), in September 2002. This is an excellent opportunity to
participate
in two events covering a wide range of research in wireless and mobile
systems.

                         WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

Mobile and wireless systems and services are rapidly becoming an
integral part
of our daily work and personal lives. The move towards integration of
services
and interoperability among systems is enabling mobile and wireless
networks to
seamlessly extend the reach of the fixed infrastructure. The resultant
growth
in complexity of these systems makes the performance evaluation and
design of
wireless systems increasingly 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 system dynamics that greatly impact performance.

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

   MSWiM 2002 serves as a forum for researchers from academia, industry
and
research labs, for presenting recent research results in Modeling,
Analysis and
Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. The conference features
prominent
invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field.

   The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited
papers, 
panel
  discussions and tools demonstrations. 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.


                          Call for Papers

   Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical
results of
  significance on all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of 
mobile and
  wireless systems. Demonstrations of new tools and simulation languages
are
  very desirable.

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

  o- Performance evaluation and modeling of network architectures and 
protocols.
  o- Mobile and wireless systems
     (Multimedia, MANET, Bluetooth, Sensor Networks, etc..)
  o- Survivability and reliability evaluation and modeling.
  o- RF channel capacity modeling and analysis.
  o- Simulation methodology for large scale wireless systems
  o- Network support for QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile
systems.
  o- QoS based protocols for wireless and mobile systems.
  o- Simulation and analysis of wireless protocols and standards
  o- Modeling and simulation of mobile computing systems
  o- Formal methods for analysis of wireless systems
  o- Visualization techniques for simulation of wireless systems
  o- Traffic measurements and models for audio, video, multimedia, and
     WWW services.
  o- Modeling and analysis of wireless Internet access.
  o- Database management systems and mobile computing
     (location based queries, wireless data caching, mobile
transactions).
  o- Wireless data dissemination (broadcasting and indexing techniques).
  o- Ad Hoc networking and computing.
  o- Mobile agents support for wireless networks.
  o- Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation of mobile
and
     wireless systems.
  o- New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems.
  o- Parallel and distributed simulation of wireless systems.
