B3G and 4G have been the very hot subject of much research and many standardization activities throughout the world.

The 1st International Workshop on Performance Modelling in Wired, 
Wireless and  Mobile Networking and Computing
			

					in conjunction with 

11th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems 
(ICPADS-2005)
				July 20-22, 2005, Japan

There has been tremendous interest recently in the convergence of wired
(fixed) networks and mobile wireless and local wireless access systems 
and networks. B3G and 4G have been the very hot subject of much 
research and many standardization activities throughout the world. Many
B3G/4G related technical committees are taking the initiative to 
produce enhanced proposals of radio transmission technologies, wireless
applications protocols, All-IP wireless network architectures, super 
signal processing and advanced system prototypes for B3Gwireless and 
4Gmobile. However, there are several performance issues that need to be
addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated 
broadband infrastructure of convergent multi-service networks can be 
established towards the next generation Internet with efficient support
of multimedia applications. The purpose of this workshop is to provide 
an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to 
present their state-of-art research on performance modelling and 
evaluation studies in all aspects of wired and wireless networking and 
computing and to exchange ideas and explore new avenues of 
collaborations.

Performance studies in (but not limited to) the following topics are 
welcome:
* Open Fixed and Wireless Architectures
* Traffic characterisation
* Quality of Service provisioning in wired and wireless networks
* Analytical and numerical modelling, Queueing system and network 
models.
* Convergence of 3Gwireless and Internet, e.g. Secured Wireless Mobile 
Internet 
* Radio Transmission Technology for B3G and 4G, 
* Software Definable Base Station system for B3G and 4G
* Enhanced services for B3G and 4G, e.g. wireless stream, e-commerce 
* Re-configurability issues for flexible B3G/4G system platforms 2G - 
  3G - 4G  migration and evolution issues 
* WLAN systems and Networks; Bluetooth, WiFi, HIPERLAN 2, WiMax,
* Wireless Mobile ATM (wmATM) technologies,  Broadband Mobile Wireless 
* Smart antenna, Antenna array, MIMO and Digital Beam Forming, etc.
