Call For Participation
MSWiM2002

The Fifth ACM International Workshop on
Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems
In conjunction with MobiCom'2002

September 28, 2002
Atlanta, Georgia
http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2002/

In its fifth year, the 2002 International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis
and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, will take place in Atlanta,
Georgia, in conjunction with MobiCOM 2002.  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.

The MSWiM workshop will focus on all aspects of mobile and wireless
systems, particularly modeling, analysis and simulation in wireless and
mobile communication and computing.  The workshop 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.   We look forward to
another inspiring edition of MSWiM.
