3rd ACM International Workshop on Performance Monitoring, Measurement, and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Wireless and Wired Networks
(PM2HW2N 2008) http://www.pm2hw2n.acca-group.info/ October 27 - 31, 2008
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada To be held in conjunction with 11th ACM MSWiM 2008
*ACM pending upon Approval
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Deadline: 1st June 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE and OVERVIEW:
Wireless networks, including WLAN, WiMax, wireless personal networks, ad hoc, sensor, along with pervasive networks, have witnessed their fastest growth period over the last few years and have become increasingly complex. Nonetheless, performance evaluation and analysis of wireless networks have been conducted mostly through software simulations (e.g., using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Recently, research efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using prototypes to evaluate solutions more realistically and comprehensively and to validate assumptions and conclusions that are reached via simulation experiments.
Performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks pose a new set of unique challenges due to the particular inherent properties of these systems and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners in order to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks, including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.
TOPICS OF SPECIAL INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
.- Performance measurement, monitoring, and evaluation tools for heterogeneous wireless and wired networks .- Performance tools for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks .- Tracing and trace analysis .- Discrete and continuous models .- Measurement architectures and systems .- Measurement-based performance comparison .- QoS monitoring and sampling .- Measurement-based optimisation of for heterogeneous wireless and wired networks .- Novel measurement tools of wireless networks .- Performance measurements of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks .- Performance analysis and evaluation of mobile services .- Software tools for wireless network performance and evaluation .- Automatic performance analysis .- Performance of wireless and sensor devices .- Mobility modeling and management .- Traffic modelling and engineering .- Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems .- Techniques for prototyping wireless networks .- Validation through measurement and prototyping .- Software technologies and systems for rapid prototyping and measurement of wireless networks .- Predictive performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks .- Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks .- Improvement in network performance through prototyping .- Performance and security issues in ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks .- Performance and power management control .- Case studies demonstrating the role of performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation in the design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks .- Applications of performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation as a feedback to improve network QoS Mobile and Wireless Networking
