Call for Papers

WiNMee 2013 ----- May 13-17, 2013 ----- Tsukuba Science City, Japan

The 9th International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements (WiNMee)
In conjunction with WiOpt 2013

http://mobilelab.kut.ac.kr/winmee2013.html

=============================================================

Welcome to WiNMee 2013

The rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking,
such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, ZigBee, 3G and LTE, means that the
Internet is increasingly wireless. Moreover, theoretical advances on
wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks,
network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference
alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless
networks in the following years.
To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to
evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement.
While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often
limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the
varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these
limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has
gained wide recognition in the networking research community.

WiNMee 2013 is the ninth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless
Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring
together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and
serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental
wireless network measurements.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating
production wireless networks
- Measurement and characterization of wireless networks traffic such as
WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application
traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, and sensor networks
- Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models
- Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting
- Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements
- Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the
repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration
- Methodologies for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks
- Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing and
sharing wireless measurement data
- Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of
cognitive radio systems
- Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation
- Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility
- Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds
- Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and
cognitive radio networks

Paper Submission

The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not
currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All
submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six
printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font
size) including figures. Only PDF files are acceptable. Papers can be
prepared using either LaTeX or Microsoft Word. Do not put page numbers on
your document. References should be numbered in alphabetical order by lead
author last name. Within the text, citations to references should appear as
the appropriate reference number in square brackets. The end of the
document must include the list of cited references; please avoid
unnecessary abbreviations in citations. Please make sure that all fonts and
subset fonts are embedded. To check font embedding use one of the following
approaches:

If using Adobe Reader, from the menu select File/Properties... and then
select the Fonts tab. You should see "(Embedded Subset)" next to each font
and there should be no Type 3 fonts.

From a Linux/Unix terminal, execute the "pdffonts" command on your PDF

document. The listing should show no Type 3 fonts, and all fonts listed
should have "yes" under "emb" and "sub".

The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The
submission will be handled via EasyChair. If you don't have an EasyChair
account, please sign up for an EasyChair account here. The accepted papers
will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via
the IEEE Xplore website. Please refer to workshop website for details:
