Note: in general, we would like to avoid the use of ns-users for CFP
announcements. But we make exception to allow CFPs and workshop
announcements that deal specifically with ns-2, such as the below.

SCOPE
-----
In recent years, the ns-2 simulator has become one of the de facto
standards (if not the standard) for the simulation of packet-switched
networks, as attested by the number of research papers and IETF
documents based on it, as well as by the wide scope of the networking
technologies it handles. It is widely used in both academia and
industry as a means of designing, testing and evaluating new and
existing protocols and architectures, and it is also a very useful
tool for educational purposes.
The Workshop on ns-2 (WNS2) is a one-day event held in conjunction
with VALUETOOLS, the First International Conference on Performance
Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (http://www.valuetools.org/).
The workshop devotes special interest to the future evolution of ns-2
and the upcoming ns-3 simulator, and its extension in novel research
areas and networking technologies and scenarios.
