--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM/IEEE MSWiM 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers The 12th ACM* Annual Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless Mobile Systems Terenife, The Canary Islands, Spain October 26-30, 2009 http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2009

*ACM Pending Upon Approval -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: April 25, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope and Overview: ACM MSWiM 2008 is the Twelveth Annual International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. MSWiM is an international forum dedicated to high level discussion of wireless and mobile systems, networks, algorithms and applications, with an emphasis on rigorous performance evaluation. MSWiM is a highly selective conference with a long track record of publishing innovative ideas and breakthroughs.

MSWiM 2009 will be held October 26-30, 2009, in the beautiful Canary Islands of Spain. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile and wireless systems. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal.

Topics of Interest: Papers related to wireless and mobile network modeling, analysis, design, and simulation are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Performance evaluation and modeling - Analytical models - Simulation languages and tools for wireless systems - Wireless measurement tools and experiences - Formal methods for analysis of wireless systems - Correctness, survivability and reliability evaluation - Mobility modeling and management - Models and protocols for cognitive radio networks - Models and protocols for autonomic, or self-* networks - Capacity, coverage and connectivity modeling and analysis - Wireless network algorithms and protocols - Wireless PANs, LANs, MANs - Wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, VANETs - Sensor and actuator networks - Integration of wired and wireless systems - Pervasive computing and emerging models - Wireless multimedia systems - QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile networks - Security and privacy of mobile/wireless systems - Algorithms and protocols for energy efficient operation and power control - Mobile applications, system software and algorithms - RF channel modeling and analysis - Design methodologies - Tools, prototypes and testbeds - Parallel and distributed simulation of wireless systems

Submission instructions can be found at http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2009 Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by ACM press.

A special issue of an international journal is planned for extended versions of the best papers from MSWiM 2009.
