PEWiN 2011 - The Third International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks (PEWiN-2011)

The Third International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of

Wireless Networks (PEWiN-2011)

(Beijing, China, December 16-18, 2011)

http://www.chu.edu.tw/~pewin/2011

(Co-located with the 7th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and
Sensor Networks (MSN 2011), http://conference.bupt.edu.cn/msn11/index.htm)

Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks (PEWiN), as an
international workshop, is devoted to deeper understanding in the
performance evaluation and simulation techniques of
wireless networks including mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor
networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, underwater sensor networks, and all
kinds of wireless networks. Wireless networks raise
a number of interesting and undiscovered performance evaluation and
simulation issues, while traditional techniques are not sufficient to
analyze, evaluate, and simulate proposed wireless algorithms or systems in
the right way. For example, the algorithms and systems in vehicular ad
hoc networks require a high degree of communication reliability, short
communication delay, scalability, security, and privacy-preserving
technologies under harsh condition. Researchers not only need to design
practical distributed and centralized algorithms, but also need to introduce
novel theoretical models or evaluation methodologies to challenge various
kinds of research problems originated from these wireless networks. The
workshop is intended to encourage idea sharing and cooperation among
researchers in wireless networks, and push the theoretical and practical
research forward for a deeper understanding in the theoretical modeling,
evaluation and analysis techniques, and simulation methods in wireless
networks.

PEWiN-2011 is in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Mobile
Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN 2011) and all accepted papers will be
published in IEEE Explore and included in EI index.

All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently
under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must not
exceed eight single-spaced, double-column pages using 10 pt size fonts on
8.5’11 inch pages in IEEE style format. Papers (PDF version) must be
submitted electronically via PEWiN 2011 website.
