Overview
The rapid deployment of wireless infrastructures in various environments
triggers new applications and services that in turn generate a richer set of
traces for analysis. There is a need for more realistic models of traffic,
mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity
planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures,
protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance
analysis.

The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling Workshop is intended to serve
as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange
and discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of
measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility
in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these
models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims
in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations,
and test suites.

In this workshop, we would like to solicit short papers (6 pages) that report
on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or
the field. We will use the EDAS system for the paper submission. We plan to
get industrial sponsorship to support a best paper and presentation award and
a keynote speaker. Along with regular presentations we plan to have speakers
and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the
attendees.

Topics
Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:

Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless
environments (infrastructures, sensor networks)
Workload characterization and traffic analysis
User mobility modeling
Software tools in support of measurements
Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal
behavior, network topology, hot spots)
Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection
Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks
Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load
Comparative analysis on different wireless networks
Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests

Submission Guidelines
Papers should be submitted via EDAS. Submissions should be no more than six
8.5"x11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format,
using 10-point type or greater. Please be aware that all submissions should
allow for double-blind reviewing. This means that the authors will not know
the identity of the program committee members and referees who review the
paper, nor will the program committee members and referees know the identity
of the authors. As an author, please preserve the anonymity of your
submission by removing the author names and any possible references that may
reveal your identity.

MobiSys and its workshops, like most conferences and journals, require that
papers not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or
publication, that submissions not have been published previously, and that
accepted papers not be subsequently published elsewhere without
acknowledgement of the original publication. Papers accompanied by
nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the
author(s) unread. All submissions will be held in the highest confidentiality
prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in
accord with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976.

Registration Materials
Complete program and registration information for MobiSys '05 and its
workshops will be available in March 2005 on the conference Web site. The
information will be in both HTML and a printable PDF file. If you would like
