5th ACM International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis
and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems
September 28th, 2002
In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2002
Atlanta, September 23-28th, 2002

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.
