In its third year, the 2000 International Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems, will take place in Boston, MA, just after the International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom 2000) to be held in Boston, August 6-11, 2000. This is an excellent opportunity to partake in two events covering a wide range of research in wireless and mobile systems.
 
 

This workshop is being held at an ideal time. Wireless communication systems grow very fast these years. Pushed by the increase of the number of users and by the introduction of new services, the growth of the complexity of these systems makes the performance evaluation and design of wireless systems more and more difficult. Modeling and Simulation are 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 the system dynamics which have a major impact on the performance.

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

MSWiM 2000 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Modeling and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. This workshop targets the growing overlap between large simulations and wireless 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, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by ACM CS-press.

We are planning to have a special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.
 
 
 

Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance. Demonstration of new tools/simulation languages are very desirable.

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

FDMA, TDMA, CDMA system RF capacity simulation

Simulation Methodology for large scale wireless systems (e.g., PCS, Ad-Hoc Networks, etc..)

Performance evaluation of handoff, power control, registration and

Paging processes (e.g.,benchmark, theoretical studies, and empirical studies)
