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

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Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished 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 [email-masked] or [email-masked]. All papers 
will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors.

Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and a special 
issue will be planned in a scholarly journal to include selected 
high-quality papers from the workshop.
