OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

-----------------------------

In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications. At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in wireless technology. With this in mind, this workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area.

We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms

* Experiences/lessons from recent testbed design efforts

* Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies

* Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures

* Testbed management issues and monitoring support

* Wireless testbed case studies

* Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols (at different layers), and the impact of cross-layer interactions

* Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations

* Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks

* Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks

* Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing

* Implementation approaches to ease transition between various evaluation methodologies as well as to improve testbed accessibility

* New measurement methodologies and infrastructures

* Measurement and characterization (modeling) of various real-world aspects such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics

* Interference and spectrum usage measurements

* Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies

* Software tools in support of measurements, trace/data collection and management
