**** Submission Deadline April 1, 2007***** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers
International Workshop on Performance Modeling and Evaluation in Computer and Telecommunication Networks (PMECT'07)
To be held in conjunction with 16th IEEE Int'l Conference on Computer Communication and Networking (ICCCN'07), Hawaii, August 13-15, 2007
http://nets-www.lboro.ac.uk/pmect07/
Extended versions of selected high quality papers will appear in a Special Issue of Elsevier Journal of Simulation, Modeling, Practice and Theory. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope:
There is tremendous research interest recently in the convergence of wired networks and wireless access systems and networks. Especially, recent development in wireless communication technologies and mobile networks has posed various challenges to the researchers in the field of performance modeling. These challenges require effective performance evaluation tools, techniques and methodologies to design new protocols and robust solutions before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband infrastructure of convergent multi-service networks can be established towards the next generation of network with efficient support of multimedia applications. As a result, performance modeling and evaluation has gained increasing importance. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to present their state-of-art research on performance modeling and evaluation studies in all aspects of computer and telecommunication networks and to exchange ideas and explore new avenues of collaborations.
Performance modeling and evaluation studies in the following topics are welcome, but not limited to:
Performance modeling of TCP/IP computer networks Performance modeling of telecommunication networks Performance engineering tools, e.g. for tracing, workload characterization, operational analysis etc. Traffic characterization for wired and wireless networks Modeling and analysis of reliability, Quality of Service (QoS) and performance guarantees Performance-oriented design and analysis methods Quality of Service provisioning in wired and wireless networks Performance measurements in real testbed Medium access control protocols Admission control and congestion control protocols Performance evaluation of wireless sensor networks Performance modeling of Mobility management and handover issues Performance modeling of Bandwidth on Demand issues, e.g. scheduler , resource allocation Performance modeling of Access control, channel allocation, wireless packet, Performance modeling of Routing Algorithms, multicast routing in wireless networks Wireless Video, Wireless Multimedia, Wireless Streaming, etc Wireless TCP, Wireless IP, Wireless Security, Wireless OS, etc. Performance modeling of Security Protocol and System in low layers and high layers
Paper Preparation and Submission:
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop program will be published, as the ICCCN 2007 main conference, by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library. An accepted paper must be registered and presented at the conference venue and must be limited to 6 pages (with an allowance of up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Extended versions of selected high quality papers will appear in a Special Issue of Elsevier Journal of Simulation, Modeling, Practice and Theory. Any update will be posted on the ICCCN-07 Web site. Please contact the Workshop Co-Chair L.Guan@lboro.ac.uk with any questions.
