CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd ACM Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor,
and
Ubiquitous Networks (PE-WASUN' 2005)
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~mohamed/wasun05/pe-wasun05.html


To be held in conjunction with ACM/IEEE MSWiM'2005
http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2005/


Montreal, Qc. Canada, October 10-13, 2005

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission deadline: July 22nd, 2005

SCOPE:
Wireless ad hoc, sensor, along with ubiquitous networks have recently
witnessed their fastest growth period ever in history, and this trend is

likely to continue for the foreseeable future. However, as such networks

become increasingly complex, performance modelling and evaluation will 
play a crucial part in their design process to ensure their successful
deployment and exploitation in practice.


This workshop will bring together scientists, engineers, and
practitioners to share and exchange their experiences,
discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research
on all aspects of wireless ad hoc, sensor,
and ubiquitous networks  with a specific emphasis on their performance
evaluation and analysis.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Predictive performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
networks
* Performance measurement and monitoring tools
* Tracing and trace analysis
* Simulation
* Analytical modeling
* Software tools for network performance and evaluation
* Automatic performance analysis
* Performance comparison
* Performance of wireless and sensor devices
* RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
* Mobility modeling and management
* Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
* Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
* Improvement in network performance through optimization and tuning
* Evaluation of multimedia over wireless ad hoc networks.
* Evaluation of QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks
* Evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous computing
* Performance tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks.
* Performance and security issues in ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
networks
* Performance and power management control
* Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the
design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished
research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. 
The length of the papers should not exceed 10 single-spaced pages 
(in two-column format) including figures and references on 8.5 by 11 
inch paper using at least 11 point font. Papers should be submitted 
electronically in PDF format (or postscript) by sending it as an e-mail 
attachment to mohamed@dcs.gla.ac.uk or mineo@cs.ucla.edu. All papers
