ACM International Workshop on Performance Monitoring, Measurement,and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Wireless and Wired Networks (PM2HW2N 2006) |
|
To be held in conjunction with
The 9th ACM International Symposium on Modeling,
Analysis
and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM 2006)
October 2, 2006
Torremolinos, (Malaga ),
Spain
Scope:
Wireless networks, including ad hoc, sensor,
along with ubiquitous, have witnessed over the past few years their fastest
growth period and have become increasingly complex. Nonetheless, their
performance evaluation and analysis have been conducted mostly through software
simulations (e.g. using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Very recently, some research
efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and
experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data and using
prototypes to more realistically and comprehensively evaluate the suggested
solutions and more specifically validate the assumptions and the conclusions
reached via the simulation approach.
The monitoring, measurements, and
evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks poses a new set
of unique challenges due to the unique 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 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. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- Performance measurement, monitoring,
and evaluation tools for heterogeneous wireless and wired networks
- Performance tools for ad hoc, sensor,
and ubiquitous networks
- Tracing and trace analysis
- Discrete and continuous models
- Measurement-based performance modelling
- Measurement architectures and systems
- Measurement-based performance
comparison
- QoS
monitoring and sampling
- Measurement-based optimisation of for
heterogeneous wireless and wired networks
- Novel measurement tools of wireless
networks
- Performance measurements of ad hoc,
sensor, and ubiquitous networks
- Performance analysis and evaluation of
mobile services
- Software tools for wireless network performance
