Call for Papers
International Workshop on Performance Modeling and Evaluation in Computer
and Telecommunication Networks (PMECT'08)
To be held in conjunction with 17th IEEE Int'l Conference on Computer
Communication and Networking (ICCCN'08), St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, August 3-7, 2008
http://nets-www.lboro.ac.uk/pmect08
Extended versions of selected high quality papers will appear in a Special
Issue of an International Journal
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 2008
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-08 Web site. Please contact the Workshop Co-Chair L.Guan at lboro.ac.uk with any questions.
