Abstract:
There is tremendous research interest recently in the convergence of
wired
networks and wireless access systems and networks. Especially, recent
development in wireless communication technologies and mobile
networks has
posed various challenges to the researchers in the field of performance
modeling. These challenges require effective performance evaluation
tools,
techniques and methodologies to design new protocols and robust
solutions
before a global and wide-scale integrated broadband infrastructure of
convergent multi-service networks can be established towards the next
generation of network with efficient support of multimedia
applications. As
a result, performance modeling and evaluation has gained increasing
importance. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an international
forum for researchers and industry practitioners to present their
state-of-art research on performance modeling and evaluation studies
in all
aspects of computer and telecommunication networks and to exchange
ideas and
explore new avenues of collaborations.
Performance modeling and evaluation studies in the following topics are
welcome, but not limited to:
• Performance modeling of TCP/IP computer networks
• Performance modeling of telecommunication networks
• Performance engineering tools, e.g. for tracing, workload
characterization, operational analysis etc.
• Traffic characterization for wired and wireless networks
• Modeling and analysis of reliability, Quality of Service (QoS) and
performance guarantees
• Performance-oriented design and analysis methods
• Quality of Service provisioning in wired and wireless networks
• Performance measurements in real testbed
• Medium access control protocols
• Admission control and congestion control protocols
• Performance evaluation of wireless sensor networks
• Performance modeling of Mobility management and handover issues
• Performance modeling of Bandwidth on Demand issues, e.g.
scheduler ,
resource allocation
• Performance modeling of Access control, channel allocation,
wireless
packet,
• Performance modeling of Routing Algorithms, multicast routing in
wireless networks
• Wireless Video, Wireless Multimedia, Wireless Streaming, etc
• Wireless TCP, Wireless IP, Wireless Security, Wireless OS, etc.
• Performance modeling of Security Protocol and System in low
layers and
high layers
