Call for Papers for a Special issue on
"Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks"

Wireless ad hoc, sensor, along with ubiquitous networks have recently witnessed
their fastest growth period ever in history, and this trend is likely to
continue for the foreseeable future. However, as such networks become
increasingly complex, performance modelling and evaluation will play a crucial
part in their design process to ensure their successful deployment and
exploitation in practice.
Performance Evaluation solicits papers from researchers and practitioners that
address the issues of performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc, sensor and
ubiquitous networks for inclusion in a special issue on "Performance Evaluation
of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks".

Scope of contributions

Authors are encouraged to submit original contributions, with both theoretical
and practical results of significance on all timely aspects of wireless and
mobile technologies with an emphasis on performance evaluation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to:
. Predictive performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
. Analytical modeling
. Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks
. Queuing and network information theoretic analysis
. Tracing and trace analysis
. Software tools for network performance and evaluation
. Simulation methods and tools
. Automatic performance analysis
. Performance comparison
. Performance of wireless and sensor devices
. RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
. Mobility modeling and management
. Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
. Performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc, mesh, sensor, vehicular and
hybrid networks
. Performance evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous networks
. Network performance improvement through optimization and tuning
. Performance measurement, evaluation and monitoring tools for ad hoc,
sensor and ubiquitous networks
. Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the design
of ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks
