CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM International Workshop on
Performance Monitoring, Measurement,
and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Wireless
and Wired Networks (PM2HW2N 2006)
Torremolinos, (Malaga),
Spain
Scope:
Wireless networks, including ad hoc,
sensor, along with ubiquitous, have witnessed
over the past few years their
fastest growth period and have become increasingly complex.
Nonetheless,
their performance evaluation and analysis have been conducted mostly through
software simulations. Very recently, some research efforts have been
directed towards measuring
real-world commercial and experimental
networks; constructing models based on real-world data
and using prototypes to more realistically and
comprehensively evaluate the suggested solutions
and more specifically validate the assumptions
and the conclusions reached via the simulation approach.
The aim of
this workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to
share and exchange
their experiences, discuss challenges, and
report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects
of performance measurements, monitoring, and
evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks,
including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and
ubiquitous networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
- Performance measurement, monitoring, and evaluation tools for
heterogeneous wireless and wired networks
- Performance tools for ad hoc,
sensor, and ubiquitous networks
- Tracing and trace analysis
- Discrete
and continuous models
- Measurement-based performance modelling
-
Measurement architectures and systems
- QoS monitoring and sampling
-
Measurement-based optimisation of for heterogeneous wireless and wired
networks
- Novel measurement tools of wireless networks
- Performance
measurements of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
- Performance
analysis and evaluation of mobile services
- Software tools for wireless
network performance and evaluation
- Automatic performance analysis
-
Performance of wireless and sensor devices
- Mobility modeling and
management
- Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and
systems
- Techniques for prototyping wireless networks
- Validation
through measurement and prototyping
- Probabilistic models for ad hoc,
sensor, and ubiquitous networks
- Improvement in network performance through
prototyping
- Performance tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous
networks
- Performance and security issues in ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
networks
- Performance and power management control
- Case studies
demonstrating the role of performance monitoring, measurement, and
evaluation in the design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
networks
-Applications of performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation
as a feedback to improve network QoS
