Scope
-------------------------------------------------------
Wireless communication along with mobile computing are becoming a necessity rather than a luxury, and with a wide range of application domains which include wireless network-on-chip, smart environments, wireless sensor networks, health care, industry, multimedia applications and intelligent transport systems just to name few. This advancement in wireless and mobile technologies introduces new challenging requirements and issues for researchers.
The Performance Analysis and Enhancement of Wireless Networks (PAEWN 2014) will represent an international forum for researchers from both academia and industry to expose the latest trends, research findings, and emerging issues in wireless and mobile computing. This workshop will focus on the development and application of analytical modeling, simulation, prototype testbed, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques to the area of wireless and mobile communication networks.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Stochastic modelling and performance evaluation of wireless, sensor and mobile networks and devices
? Design and analysis of wireless networks and protocols
? Quality of Service provisioning in wireless/mobile systems
? Wireless/Mobile network architectures
. Wireless network-on-chip
? Resource and data management in mobile, wireless and ad hoc networks
? Security issues in mobile /wireless/ad-hoc networks
? Energy saving protocols for wireless/mobile/sensor networks
? Algorithms and modelling for tracking and locating mobile? users
? Admission control and congestion control protocols
? Evaluation of scalability and reliability in wireless/mobile networks
? Cross-layer design and optimization
? Traffic modelling in wireless/mobile systems
? Mobility management and handover issues
? Evaluation of medium access control and routing algorithms in wireless/mobile/ad-hoc networks
? Simulation models for optimization of scarce resources
? Integration of ad hoc and sensor networks with broadband wireless network infrastructures
? Performance case studies and industrial reports
? Evaluation of existing tools and techniques
? Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning
? Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
