------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM/IET/ICST International Workshop on Performance and Analysis of Wireless Networks

http://www.cs.adelaide.edu.au/~pawn08/

Held in conjunction with The International Conference on Mobile
Technology, Applications,and Systems (Mobility 2008),Ilan, TAIWAN
September 10-12, 2008
http://www.mobilityconference.org/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTINGUISHED INVITED SPEAKER: "Complementary Coded Cooperative Wireless Networking"

Presented by: Professor Hsiao-Hwa Chen,National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wireless communication technologies have been evolving at a rapid pace
over the last few decades. Different types of wireless communication
networks (BAN, PAN, LAN, etc) are being deployed to address the needs
of all kinds of users. Evaluating the performance of wireless networks
and systems continues to be a critical activity in the design,
implementation, and deployment of emerging wireless technologies.
This workshop is intended to provide an international forum for scientists,
engineers, practitioners, network users to share their experiences, present
original ideas, report on state-of-the-art and in-progress research results
on the empirical performance of wireless communication technologies and
applications.

In contrast to many past and current workshops also covering the topic
of wireless networks, this event places special emphasis on empirical
performance results obtained on actual, physical wireless network
infrastructures, testbeds, networked hosts, and devices.  Performance
results obtained using only modeling, theoretical analysis or simulators
without a strong practical performance component are not appropriate for
this workshop.  We particularly welcome submissions that present experimental
performance evaluations of innovative wireless design/implementation prototype
architectures, systems, and applications. We hope that the contributions to
this workshop will help us better understand many of the practical performance
related issues that are likely to impact next generation wireless networks,
technologies, and applications.

Topics of interest, but are not limited to:
-------------------------------------------

* Performance of wireless media access protocols
* Performance of mobility protocols and architectures
* Performance of mobility management protocols and architectures
* Performance of wireless local area networks, personal area networks
* Performance of broadband wireless access technologies (WiMAX, etc)
* Performance of 3G/4G networks, systems, and protocols
* Performance of sensor networks and devices
* Performance of heterogeneous wireless networks
* Performance of wireless security protocols
* Performance of wireless communication protocols
* Performance of admission control protocols over wireless networks
* Performance optimizations and tuning over wireless networks
* Performance of heterogeneous wired/wireless network testbeds
* Performance of wireless applications
* Performance measurement tools and techniques for wireless networks

Important Dates
----------------

Paper submission deadline: June 1, 2008
Notification date: July 1, 2008
Camera-ready version due: August 1, 2008

Author Instructions
-------------------

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing
original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently
under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art
research and development in all areas of performance and analysis of
wireless communication technologies, systems, and networks. Please use
the ACM SIG paper format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).
Submissions must not exceed 6 pages in PDF, including tables and figures.
Submission of a paper implies that, should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.

Please submit papers directly to one of the
Co-Chairs, Sherali Zeadally (email: szeadally@udc.edu) or
Abdelhamid Mellouk (email: mellouk@univ-paris12.fr)
with "IWPAWN 2008 paper submission" in the subject line of the email.
Each submission must be accompanied by the following information: the
paper title, a short abstract, a complete list of authors and their
affiliations, and the contact of the corresponding author.

Publication
-----------

Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press, included in the
ACM Digital Library and indexed by EI. The proceedings of the workshop
will be available at the conference. At least one author (or co-author)
of an accepted paper must register for the conference for it to be
included in the conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected
papers will be considered for further publication in a
Special issue of an International Journal planned shortly after
the workshop.

Best Paper Award
----------------

One best paper award, selected by the organizing committee, based
on referee reviews, will be presented to the author(s) of the best
paper submitted to the workshop.
