PE-WASUN 2018 - 15th ACM International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks

Wireless ad hoc, sensor, along with ubiquitous networks are still the subject of a huge number of research works while their deployment and exploitation are also a reality. However, the complexity of these networks is such that the performance evaluation of such networks plays a crucial part in their design process to ensure their successful deployment and use.
This symposium will bring together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks with a specific emphasis on their performance evaluation and analysis.
This year, the PE-WASUN 2018 committee will have a particular interest on reproducible research. Authors are encouraged to provide code and test data or a full description of their experiments, in addition to their article. For accepted submissions, and if the authors agree, the PE-WASUN website will host all the materials the authors agree to make available for use by other researchers and scientists.
