                 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).
