[Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks (WuYi Mountain, China)

------------------------------Call for Papers------------------------------

The First International Workshop
on
Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks
(PEWiN-09)
http://www.cc.chu.edu.tw/~wina2008/PEWIN2009/
(14-16 December 2009, WuYi Mountain, China)

Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks (PEWiN-09), as an
international workshop, is devoted to deeper understanding in the performance
evaluation and simulation techniques of wireless networks including mobile ad
hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, underwater
sensor networks, and all kinds of wireless networks.Wireless networks raise a
number of interesting and undiscovered performance evaluation and simulation
issues, while traditional techniques are not sufficient to analyze, evaluate,
and simulate proposed wireless algorithms or systems in the right way. For
example, the algorithms and systems in vehicular ad hoc networks require a
high degree of communication reliability, short communication delay,
scalability, security, and privacy-preserving technologies under harsh
condition. Researchers not only need to design practical distributed and
centralized algorithms, but also need to introduce novel theoretical models
or evaluation methodologies to challenge various kinds of research problems
originated from these wireless networks.

The workshop is intended to encourage idea sharing and cooperation among
researchers in wireless networks, and push the theoretical and practical
research forward for a deeper understanding in the theoretical modeling,
evaluation and analysis techniques, and simulation methods in wireless
networks. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research
related to the theory or practice of wireless network simulations, modeling,
and analysis.

Workshop Topics (include but are not limited to the following)

- Performance models for wireless networks including mobile ad hoc networks,
wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, underwater sensor
networks, and any kind of wireless networks
- Simulation methods and comparisons for any kind of wireless networks
- Software tools for network performance and evaluation
- Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the design
of any kind of wireless networks
- Quantitative analysis techniques of any kind of wireless networks
- Probabilistic models for any kind of wireless networks
- Traffic models for any kind of wireless networks
- Mobility models for any kind of mobile wireless networks
- Network performance improvement through optimization techniques
- Evaluation of existing tools and techniques in wireless networks
- Queuing and network information theoretic analysis
- Tracing and trace analysis
- Automatic performance analysis
