CALL FOR PAPERS

6th ACM MSWiM 2003

The Sixth International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems

(Jointly with ACM MobiCom 2003, September 14-19)

September 19, 2003 San Diego, CA, USA

http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2003/

MSWiM is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion and presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers, students, and systems developers on issues and challenges related to mobile and wireless systems. Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance on all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile computing and wireless networks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Performance evaluation and modeling of mobile and wireless communication networks * Simulation and analysis of wireless protocols and mobile computing systems * Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation of mobile and wireless systems * Survivability and reliability evaluation and modeling * RF channel capacity modeling and analysis * Design methodologies for wireless systems * Network support for QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile networks * Modeling and analysis of wireless Internet access * Traffic measurements and models for audio, video, multimedia, and WWW services * New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems * Database management systems and mobile computing (location-based queries, wireless data caching, mobile transactions) * Wireless data dissemination (broadcasting and indexing techniques) * Pervasive computing and ad hoc networking * Wireless PANs, LANs * Sensor networks * Mobile agents support for wireless networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference. Paper length should not exceed 20 pages. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system. For paper submission, please follow the submission instructions at: http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2003/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by by ACM CS-press. A Special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET will be planned which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.

IMPORTANT DATES Full papers due: June 5, 2003 Notification: July 15, 2003 Camera Ready due: TBD
