                               SCOPE

In its fifth year, the 2002 International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis
and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, will take place in Atlanta,
Georgia, just after the International Conference on Mobile Computing
and Networking (MobiCOM), in September 2002.
This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two events
covering a wide range of research in wireless and mobile systems.

                        WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

Mobile and wireless systems and services are rapidly becoming
an integral part of our daily work and personal lives.
The move towards integration of services and interoperability
among systems is enabling mobile and wireless networks to
seamlessly extend the reach of the fixed infrastructure.
The resultant growth in complexity of these systems makes
the performance evaluation and design of wireless systems
increasingly more challenging. Simulation is frequently used
as an approach to cope with the variety of details typical of complex
wireless and mobile systems. Analytical approaches are necessary
to provide a deep comprehension of system dynamics
that greatly impact performance.

  This workshop will focus on all aspects of mobile and wireless systems,
particularly modeling, analysis and simulation in wireless and mobile
communication and computing.

  MSWiM 2002 serves as a forum for researchers from academia, industry
and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Modeling,
Analysis
and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. The conference features
prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the
field.

  The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited papers,
panel  discussions and tools demonstrations. The proceedings will be
published by ACM CS-press.
 A Special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET will be planned
which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.


                         Call for Papers

  Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results
of significance on all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of
mobile and  wireless systems. Demonstrations of new tools and
simulation languages are very desirable.

  The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to:

 o- Performance evaluation and modeling
     of network architectures and protocols.
 o- Mobile and wireless systems
     (Multimedia, MANET, Bluetooth, Sensor Networks, etc..)
 o- Survivability and reliability evaluation and modeling.
 o- RF channel capacity modeling and analysis.
 o- Simulation methodology for large scale wireless systems
 o- Network support for QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile systems.
 o- QoS based protocols for wireless and mobile systems.
 o- Simulation and analysis of wireless protocols and standards
 o- Modeling and simulation of mobile computing systems
 o- Formal methods for analysis of wireless systems
 o- Visualization techniques for simulation of wireless systems
 o- Traffic measurements and models for audio, video, multimedia, and
     WWW services.
 o- Modeling and analysis of wireless Internet access.
 o- Database management systems and mobile computing
     (location based queries, wireless data caching, mobile transactions).
 o- Wireless data dissemination (broadcasting and indexing techniques).
 o- Ad Hoc networking and computing.
 o- Mobile agents support for wireless networks.
 o- Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation of mobile and
     wireless systems.
 o- New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems.
 o- Parallel and distributed simulation of wireless systems.
