CFP for IEEE WiMOB’2007 special session on Mobility Models for Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Mesh networks, Wireless networks and NEMO networks

The session is a part of the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications “WiMob 2007”

http://www.gel.usherbrooke.ca/WiMob2007/, which will take place in Crowne Plaza Hotel, White Plains, New York, USA, from October 8-10, 2007.

Motivations:

Because WiMob'07 conference is focused on wireless networks and because the performances of wireless networks are strongly linked to the mobility models used, we propose a special session focusing only on mobility models. This session is focused on these kind of wireless networks: - MANET: Mobile ad hoc networks where whole the topology is dynamic - Mesh networks and classical wireless networks offering an infrastructure topologies allowing fixed and mobile Internet for the end user. - Network Mobile (NEMO) networks offering new kind of dynamic topology where not only the user is mobile but also the network

These kind of networks should deal with mobility: user mobility, group mobility, etc. But, what is really mobility? how mobility influences the performances? how to define new mobility models? etc.

Scope of the Contributions for Mobility Models in the case of MANET, Mesh Networks, Wireless Networks and NEMO networks (include but are not limited to the following):

- Performance evaluation of mobility models

- New mobility models to mimic particular behavior

- Theoretical aspects of mobility models

- Theoretical frameworks for mobility

- Mobility models based on realistic traces

- Mobility management

- Networking protocols and mobility models

- Tools for mobility models (generators, integrators to simulators, ..)

- etc.

Authors are invited to submit a complete technical paper of their original work. Maximum length for submissions is 8 double column pages in IEEE format. The preferred submission format is PDF.
