**** Call for Papers ****
International Workshop on Network Simulation Tools
Nantes, France / October 22, 2007
http://www.nstools.org/
**** Submission Deadline -- April 30, 2006 ****
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Network Simulation Tools Workshop (NSTools) is a one-day event
held in conjunction with the Second International Conference on
Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (VALUETOOLS'07), which
will be held in Nantes, France, on October 22, 2007.
** All accepted papers will be made available in the **
** Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library **
---------------------------------------------------------------------
** SCOPE **
Simulation tools are widely used within the Networking community to
simulate packet-switched networks and perform a large number of
wildly different tasks: they are often used in the industry and
within both academic and educational settings to design and evaluate
new and existing protocols and architectures.
The aim of the Network Simulation Tools workshop is thus to bring
together academic and industry researchers from both the Networking
and the Simulation communities to discuss current and future trends
in network simulation and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative
research in this area.
** PAPERS **
This workshop does not focus on network research results based on
the use of simulation tools: we are looking for original contributions
on the design and the use of the tools themselves. The following
topics are of particular interest.
Development of new simulation environments:
- parallel and distributed simulations
- real-time simulation of networks within the setting
of a larger real network testbed
- integration of real-world network applications in
conventional simulation tools
- textual and graphical post-processing analysis tools
- large-scale network simulations
- simulation accuracy evaluations
Development of new simulation models especially in, but not restricted
to, the areas of:
- Wireless and mobile networks: 3/4G, 802.11, 802.16/WiMAX, etc.,
- Peer to peer systems,
- Sensor networks, and,
- Delay-tolerant networking,
** IMPORTANT DATES **
Full Papers due: April 30, 2007
Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2007
Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 20, 2207
Conference Date: October 22, 2007
** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS **
Conference language is English. Prospective authors are encouraged
to submit a PDF version of the full paper in the ACM conference
proceedings format, which are limited to 10 two-column pages in a
font no smaller than 10-points. Paper submission will be handled
electronically through Cocus (http://cocus.info/).
** PUBLICATION **
All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. All
accepted papers will be made available in Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM) Digital Library.
