                                                   SCOPE

In its third year, the 2000 International Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile
Systems, will take place in Boston, MA, just after the International Conference on Mobile Computing and
Networking (MobiCom 2000) to be held in Boston, August 6-11, 2000. This is an excellent opportunity to
partake in two events covering a wide range of research in wireless and mobile systems.

                                       WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

This workshop is being held at an ideal time. Wireless communication systems grow very fast these years.
Pushed by the increase of the number of users and by the introduction of new services, the growth of the
complexity of these systems makes the performance evaluation and design of wireless systems more and
more difficult. Modeling and Simulation are 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. 

MSWiM 2000 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry and research labs, for
presenting recent research results in Modeling and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. This
workshop targets the growing overlap between large simulations and wireless 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, and panel discussions. The
proceedings will be published by ACM CS-press. 

We are planning to have a special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET which will contain selected
papers from MSWiM.
