Scope

Wireless networks and communication systems are increasingly being
used in a wide range of networking applications, from general purpose
networks, personal area networks and short-range communications, to
sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, and other networks with fixed
or variable topology.  Performance evaluation of the network with
respect to the application requirements is a vital part of research
in this area, where network performance is affected by different
aspects at the physical, data link, network, and transport layers,
all of which are intimately related to topology, energy efficiency,
management, user mobility, and security issues.

This workshop will focus on the area of performance evaluation of
wireless networks and communication systems, spanning a wide range of
issues from physical to application layer. The main objective is to
evaluate relevant models, algorithms, protocols, simulation tools,
and other recent advances that lead to improved understanding of the
performance of wireless networks and communication systems.


Topics of Interest

We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished
contributions addressing various performance aspects of wireless
networks and communication systems including modeling, simulation and measurement/testing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Performance of wireless local area networks, wireless personal area
networks, ad hoc networks, and sensor networks

* Recent standards for wireless communications (802.11, Bluetooth,
802.15 and its varieties, ZigBee, etc.), their performance and
comparison

* Media access control protocols and their impact on performance

* Routing, broadcasting, and multicasting

* Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning

* TCP performance in WPANs and ad-hoc networks

* User mobility modeling, mobility management, and the impact of
mobility on network performance

* Topology construction and maintenance, and the impact of topology
changes on network performance

* Interoperability, interference and co-existence of wireless
networks of different standards

* Performance issues of integration of WLANs and WPANs with the 3G
cellular systems

* Methods for analytical modeling of wireless networks

* Methods and tools for wireless network simulation and performance
evaluation
