CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on Performance Analysis and Enhancement of
Wireless Networks (PAEWN'07)
To be held in conjunction with AINA 2007 supported by IEEE Computer Society
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, May 21 - 23, 2007
http://www.inf.brad.ac.uk/~gmin/PAEWN-07.html
SCOPE:
Recent technological developments in wireless communication and mobile
networks have led to many challenging problems that require new
performance evaluation tools and methods to keep up with their rapid
evolution and increasing complexity. This workshop will focus on the
development and application of analytical modeling, simulation,
prototype testbed, and measurement-based performance evaluation
techniques to the area of wireless communication networks.
This workshop is intended to provide an international forum for
scientists, engineers, practitioners, network and mobile users to share
and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, present original
ideas, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research results on
all aspects of performance evaluation of wireless networks and mobile
computing systems.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Stochastic modelling and performance evaluation of networks
Design and analysis of networks and protocols
Quality of Service provisioning
Medium access control protocols
Admission control and congestion control protocols
Evaluation of reliability and performance guarantees
Performance evaluation of wireless and sensor devices
Security issues
Traffic models
Mobility management and handover issues
Resource allocation management
Routing algorithms
Simulation models for optimisation of scarce resources
Integration of ad hoc and sensor networks with broadband wireless
network infrastructures
Performance case studies and industrial reports
Evaluation of existing tools and techniques
Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning
Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
