3rd International Workshop on the
Evaluation of Quality of Service through Simulation
in the Future Internet
(QoSim 2010)
http://www.qosim.org

to be held in conjunction with
SIMUTools 2010
Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain
March 15-19, 2010


CALL FOR PAPERS

Simulation has long been the primary evaluation tool used by the networking
community for supporting the design and tuning of protocols, architectures and
applications. During the last years, the wide-scale deployment of wireless
access and the emerging of new access technologies, such as 802.16, Beyond 3G
cellular packet systems, and Wireless Mesh Networks, as well as the
ever-increasing popularity of applications requiring Quality of Service (QoS),
such as Voice over IP and video streaming, have made the thorough and sound
assessment of QoS a challenging but indispensable task for the evolution towards
a future Internet. Furthermore, emerging user-centric and service-oriented
network paradigms require new definitions of QoS and service attributes, closer
to the user perception, as well as new simulation models to assess them. Last,
but not least, new research directions in networking architectures, advocating a
long-term disruptive or "clean slate" (re-)design of the Internet, also demand
new simulation tools and techniques to prove the feasibility and assess the
performance of the proposed solutions.

The goal 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. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research
contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* 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
* Hybrid Simulation
* End-to-end simulation of heterogeneous, mobile and multi-domain networks
* Fluid-flow simulation for assessing QoS in large scale networks
* New and emerging services and applications
* QoS negotiation, 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
* Tradeoffs between Security and QoS
* QoS applications in extreme situation
(e.g. in a network under attack or catastrophes)

We solicit submission of manuscripts that present original research results, not
previously published nor currently under review by another conference or
journal. All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity,
relevance, and correctness by the technical program committee. Submission
implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and
present the paper. Accepted papers will be printed in the proceedings and made
available online.

Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 8 pages in
ACM conference proceedings format, i.e. two-column pages in a font no smaller
than 10-points. Submissions will be handled electronically through EasyChair.


Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: Nov. 1, 2009
Notification of acceptance: Dec. 20, 2009
Camera-ready paper due: Jan. 12, 2010
