SCOPE and OVERVIEW:

Wireless networks, including WLAN, WiMax, wireless personal networks,

ad hoc, sensor, along with pervasive networks, have witnessed their

fastest growth period over the last few years and have become

increasingly complex. Nonetheless, performance evaluation and

analysis of wireless networks have been conducted mostly through

software simulations (e.g., using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Recently,

research efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world

commercial and experimental networks; constructing models based on

real-world data and using prototypes to evaluate solutions more

realistically and comprehensively and to validate assumptions and

conclusions that are reached via simulation experiments.

Performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation of heterogeneous

wired and wireless mobile networks pose a new set of unique

challenges due to the particular inherent properties of these systems

and due to the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers,

and practitioners in order to share and exchange their experiences,

discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress

research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and

evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks,

including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.
