and future systems, the Symposium solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:
? Performance Models
? Simulation Methods and Tools
? Security Modeling and Measurements
? Network Planning and QoS Provisioning
? Cognitive Protocols and Evaluations
? Energy-Efficient Protocols
? Localized Algorithms for Data Routing
? Localized Algorithms for Network Configuration
? Wireless Sensor Network Algorithms
? Localization and Mobility Management
? Adaptive Routing
? Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
? Admission and Congestion Controls
? Resource allocation and scheduling
? Performance and Reliability Tradeoffs
? Network Survivability
? Network coding
? Network Security and Anomaly Detection
? Traffic and Performance Monitoring, Measurements and Forecasting
? Performance of Overlay Networks and Over the Top Services
? Performance Models for Voice, Video, Data, and P2P Applications

Short biography of co-chairs David Tipper is the Director of the Graduate Telecommunications and Networking Program and a faculty member
at the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA. He is a graduate of the University of Arizona (Ph.D. EE, MS SIE)
and Virginia Tech (BS EE). His current research interests are survivable networks, performance analysis techniques,
wireless/wired network design and information assurance. Professor Tipper's research has been supported by grants
from various government and corporate sources such as NSF, DARPA, NIST, IBM, ARO and AT&T. Professional
activities include serving as the General Chair of the 7th Design of Reliable Communication Networks Workshop
(DRCN2009) and co-guest editor of a special issue of the journal Telecommunication Systems on Reliable Networks
Design and Modeling which appeared in 2013. He is the co-author of the textbook The Physical Layer of
Communication Systems, which was published by Artech House in 2006. Also, he is the co-editor and a contributor
to Information Assurance: Dependability and Security in Networked Systems, which was published by Morgan
Kaufmann in 2008.
