Best, Maria ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second International workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling (WiTMeMo'06) August 5, 2006 Boston http://www.witmemo.org/ in conjunction with the Second Annual International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope ----- 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, 6-page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. Along with regular presentations we plan to have invited speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. 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 * Measurements and predictions of user access over multiple networks *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 Chair ----- Maria Papadopouli UNC, FORTH TPC --- Jack Brassil, HP Lab Felix Hernandez-Campos, Google Christophe Diot, Thomson, Eyal de Lara, University of Toronto Matti Latva-aho, University of Oulu Tristan Henderson, Dartmouth College Philipp Hofmann, DoCoMo Eurolab Rosario Garroppo, University of Pisa Ramakrishnan Kadangode, AT&T Research Merkourios Karaliopoulos, UNC Gerald Maquire, KTH Xiaoqiao Meng, UCLA Maria Papadopouli UNC, FORTH George Polyzos, AUEB Pablo Rodriguez, Microsoft UK Ashutosh Sabharwal, Rice University Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University Vassilis Siris, FORTH Mark Yarvis, Intel Important Deadlines ------------------- Full Papers due: May 15th, 2006 (**** Extended ****) Notification of Acceptance: June 15st, 2006 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 1st, 2006 Conference Date: August 5 2006 -- Maria Papadopouli http://www.cs.unc.edu/~maria _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Workshop Objectives In Recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become increasingly popular as an inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous communications. However, without creating a new set of issues and trade-offs. The performance and resource management of wireless and mobile communication systems are becoming a very crucial phase for future generation of wireless and mobile networks. P2MNet 2006 serves as a forum for researchers from academia, industry and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Wireless and Mobile Networks. The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. P2MNet 2006 will include contributed technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by IEEE-CS press. Call for Papers P2MNet is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion and presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers, students, and systems developers on issues and challenges related to Performance and Management of Wireless and Mobile Networks. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to: o- Performance and management of mesh and Bluetooth networks. o- Performance and resource management of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. o- Performance and management of wireless multimedia systems. o- Resource allocation. o- Power Control and energy management. o- Wireless network design and management. o- Measurement, analysis, modeling, and generation. o- Traffic measurement (wireless TCP, etc..). o- Billing and wireless web services. o- (3G/4G wireless billing systems, GPRS billing, etc..). o- Web-Based wireless management. o- Wireless security management. o- Wireless Network planning. o- Wireless Intelligent Networks. o- Performance and Management of Broadband Wireless Management. o- Management and monitoring of wireless and mobile systems. o- User mobility modeling. o- Topology construction and maintenance. o- Interoperability, and performance of heterogeneous wireless networks of different standards. Important dates Submission Deadline: July 1st, 2006.
