WNS3 2015 - Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3)

The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) will be held on Wednesday May 13, 2015,
hosted by Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) in
Castelldefels (Barcelona). The objective of the workshop is to gather
ns-3 users and developers, together with networking
simulation practitioners and users, and developers of other network
simulation tools, to discuss
the ns-3 simulator and related activities.
WNS3 invites your participation in the workshop with a short
presentation about work-in-progress,
a poster presentation, and/or a demo presentation. Contingent on the
number of submissions we
receive for this call, we are planning to organize events in addition to
the regular paper track.
Our goal is to create more opportunities for discussion in the workshop.
The scope for this call
is similar to that of the CFP for the papers track - topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- new models, devices, protocols and applications for ns-3
- using ns-3 in modern networking research
- comparison with other network simulators and emulators
- speed and scalability issues for ns-3
- multiprocessor and distributed simulation with ns-3, including the use
of GPUs
- validation of ns-3 models
- credibility and reproducibility issues for ns-3 simulations
- user experience issues of ns-3
- frameworks for the definition and automation of ns-3 simulations
- post-processing, visualization, and statistical analysis tools for ns-3
- models ported from other simulators to ns-3 and models ported from
ns-3 to other simulation environments
- using real code for simulation with ns-3 and using ns-3 code in
network applications
- integration of ns-3 with testbeds, emulators, and other simulators or
tools
- using ns-3 API from programming languages other than C++ or Python
- porting ns-3 to unsupported platforms
- network emulation with ns-3
- ns-3 documentation issues
- ns-3 community issues
- educational uses of ns-3 (teaching and training)
This part of the WNS3 program welcomes works in progress, new problem
statements, ideas for
future development of the ns-3 code base and ancillary software that
supports and/or extends ns-3
functionality.
Submission instructions
===
To propose a work-in-progress presentation, poster, or demonstration,
authors should submit a
one or two-page extended abstract in PDF format through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wns32015). Use the ACM
Conference Proceedings
format, Option 2, tighter alternate style
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t...).
The abstract should include the basic idea, the scope, and significance
of the presentation.
Authors should send a separate email to the workshop chairs, providing
information about any
equipment they might request for a demonstration and whether any special
arrangements will be needed.
Be as specific as possible in describing what you will demonstrate.
Please include an estimate of the
space, and setup time needed for your demonstration.
Accepted work-in-progress, poster and demo abstracts will be published
on the ns-3 web site. At least
one author of each accepted demo/poster must register and present at the
workshop. Each accepted poster
will have a corresponding short presentation to the plenary to introduce
a conversation that can be
continued in the poster session.
