QoSim 2009 is the second international workshop on the Evaluation of
Quality of Service through Simulation in the Future Internet. The aim
of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers
and practitioners from both the networking and the simulation
communities to discuss current and future trends in simulation
techniques, models and practices for the Future Internet and to foster
interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area.

-- TOPICS --

* Emerging access technologies (Wi-Max, 3.5G, Wireless Mesh Networks,
802.11x, etc.)
* Disruptive network paradigms (bio-inspired, autonomic, opportunistic
networking, etc.)
* Multi-layer network architectures
* Cross-layer simulation
* End-to-end simulation of heterogeneous, mobile, multi-domain networks
* Fluid-flow simulation for assessing QoS in large scale networks
* New and emerging services and applications
* QoS and service chain negotiation, and Service Level Agreements
* QoS components (scheduling algorithms, admission control schemes,
QoS routing and traffic engineering schemes, etc.)
* Scalability analysis
* Traffic modeling

-- SUBMISSION --

We solicit submission of manuscripts presenting original research
results, not previously published nor currently under review by another
conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of
full papers of up to 8 pages in ACM conference proceedings format
through EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/ (instructions available on
the website).

All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process.

The workshop values both theoretical and practical research
contributions, which will be judged on originality, significance,
interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Accepted papers will
be available online through the ACM digital library.

Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered for publication
in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for
Modeling and Simulation, International.

-- SPONSORSHIP --

The event is organized in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest
Group on Simulation (SIGSIM) and the Society for Modeling and Simulation
International (SCS).
