In conjunction with MobiCom 2000 International Conference on,
Mobile Computing and Networking
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
August 6-11, 2000
SCOPE
In its third year, the 2000 International ACM 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.
ACM 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.
Note: We are planning to have a special Issue with ACM/Baltzer
MONET/WINET which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical
results of significance. Demonstration of new tools/simulation
languages are very welcome.
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to:
o FDMA, TDMA, CDMA system RF capacity simulation
o Simulation Methodology for large scale wireless systems
(e.g., PCS, Ad-Hoc Networks, etc..)
o Performance evaluation of handoff, power control, registration and
o Paging processes (e.g.,benchmark, theoretical studies,
and empirical studies)
o Performance modeling of mobile and wireless communication networks
o Network support for wireless and mobile systems
(e.g, QoS requirements and their realization)
o Simulation application of wireless protocols and standards
o Modeling&Simulation of Mobile Computing Systems
(e.g., Communication,Management, Routing
o Protocols, Channel Assignments, Security)
o Mobile agents technology Applied to wireless systems
o Wireless networks and switches
o Wireless multimedia
o Wireless data and multimedia services
o New simulation languages, tools for wireless systems
o Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for ComputationalProcess
under Simulation
o Influence of Network-Centric Systems (such as Java, and DCOM) on
wireless
systems
o Parallel and distributed simulation
o Modeling and Analysis of Speech, audio and video wireless transmission
