6th ACM International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of

Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks

(Jointly with the 12th ACM MSWiM Conference)

http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/pe-wasun09

Tenerife, Canary Islands, SPAIN 26-30 October, 2009

CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------

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 crucial part in their design process to ensure their successful deployment and exploitation in practice.

This symposium aims to 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 - Analytical modeling - Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks - Queuing and network information theoretic analysis - Tracing and trace analysis - Software tools for network performance and evaluation - Simulation methods - 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 - Performance evaluation of wireless mesh networks - Performance evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous networks - Performance evaluation of vehicular networks - Network performance improvement through optimization and tuning - Performance measurement, evaluation and monitoring tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks - Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks

Call for Posters ----------------

Posters presenting early work and preliminary results are solicited. The poster session will provide an excellent opportunity for feedback on early research results as lively discussions. Posters are solicited in all areas of mobile ad hoc networking and computing.

Submission Instructions for Posters ------------------------------------

Poster descriptions of no more than 4 pages (in two-column format, ACM style - see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) should be submitted to the Poster Chair Manos Dramitinos by means of email to emmanouil.dramitinos@ens-lyon.fr. The poster should be self-contained, including all figures and references, as well as the names, affiliations and email addresses of the authors. Please indicate "PE-WASUN 2009 Poster Submission" as the subject of the email. All submissions will be acknowledged. Posters will be included in the symposium proceedings.

Call for Demos --------------

PE-WASUN 2009 invites proposals for demonstrations of research tools dedicated to validate and evaluate performance of wireless networks. Academic and industrial institutions are welcome to demonstrate, for example, testbeds, simulators or formal methods engines and formalisms related to the general symposium topics available here. Submission Instructions for Demos --------------------------------- The proposal should include :

* An article of at most 4 pages (in two-column format, ACM style - see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html), describing the tool and its benefits for performance evaluation of at least one of the aforementioned topics that will be included in the symposium proceedings. * A two-pages description text mentioning the goal of the demonstration, the space required, the setup time, network and electrical connectivity requirements as well as any other requirement. Authors may provide a reference URL if available. This description will constitute the online description of the demonstration.

Demonstrations should be submitted to the Demos Chair Claude Chaudet by means of email to claude.chaudet@enst.fr.
