(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) ++++ QoSim 2009 ++++ Second International Workshop on the Evaluation of Quality of Service through Simulation in the Future Internet held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2009, http://www.simutools.org Rome, Italy, March 6, 2009 http://www.qosim.org - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
++ Sponsored by ICST ++ In technical cooperation with SIGSIM, SCS, INRIA (approval pending) ++ Paper submission deadline: November 16, 2008 ++ The aim 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. -- TOPICS -- * 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 * 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 -- SUBMISSION -- We solicit submission of manuscripts presenting original research results, not previously published nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 8 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/ (instructions available on the website). All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions, which will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Accepted papers will be available online through the ACM digital library (approval pending). Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International. -- SPONSORSHIP -- The event is organized in cooperation (approval pending) with the ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation (SIGSIM) and the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). -- IMPORTANT DATES -- Manuscript Submission Due: November 16, 2008 Acceptance Notification: January 7, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: January 25, 2009 Conference Date: March 6, 2009 -- WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS -- Claudio Cicconetti, University of Pisa, Italy Ben Lauwens, Royal Military Academy, Belgium -- TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE -- Ron Addie, University of Southern Queensland, Australia Albert Banchs, Universidad Carlos III, Spain Christof Brandauer, Salzburg Research, Austria Wojciech Burakowski, WUT, Poland Christian Callegari, University of Pisa, Italy Kenjiro Cho, IIJ, Japan Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Germany Chuanxiong Guo, Nanjing University, China Qi He, Yahoo!
