Scope:
Recent
technological developments in wireless communication and mobile networks have
led to many challenging problems that require new performance evaluation tools
and methods to keep up with their rapid evolution and increasing complexity.
This workshop will focus on the development and
application of analytical modeling, simulation, prototype testbed,
and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques to the area of wireless
communication networks.
This workshop is
intended to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers,
practitioners, network and mobile users to share and exchange their
experiences, discuss challenges, present original ideas, and report
state-of-the-art and in-progress research results on all aspects of performance
evaluation of wireless networks and mobile computing systems.
The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
·
Stochastic
modelling and performance evaluation of networks
·
Design
and analysis of networks and protocols
·
Quality
of Service provisioning
·
Medium
access control protocols
·
Admission
control and congestion control protocols
·
Evaluation
of reliability and performance guarantees
·
Performance
evaluation of wireless and sensor devices
·
Security
issues
·
Traffic
models
·
Mobility
management and handover issues
·
Resource
allocation management
·
Routing
algorithms
·
Simulation

·
Integration
of ad hoc and sensor networks with broadband wireless network infrastructures
·
Performance
case studies and industrial reports
·
Evaluation
of existing tools and techniques
·
Improvement
in system performance through optimization and tuning
·
Case
studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
