This is an excellent opportunity to partake in two events covering a wide range of research in wireless and mobile systems. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES This workshop is being held at an ideal time. Wireless communication systems grow very fast these years. Pushed by the increase of the number of users and by the introduction of new services, the growth of the complexity of these systems makes the performance evaluation and design of wireless systems more and more difficult. Modeling and Simulation are frequently used as an approach to cope with the variety of details typical of complex wireless and mobile systems. Analytical approaches are necessary to provide a deep comprehension of the system dynamics which have a major impact on the performance. This workshop will focus on all aspects of wireless systems, particularly modeling analysis and simulation in wireless communication. ACM MSWiM 2000 serves as a forum for simulationists from academia, industry and research labs, for presenting recent research results in Modeling and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. This workshop targets the growing overlap between large simulations and wireless systems. The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. The workshop will include contributed technical papers, invited papers, and panel discussions. The proceedings will be published by ACM CS-press. We are planning to have a special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET which will contain selected papers from MSWiM. CALL FOR PAPERS Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance. Demonstration of new tools/simulation languages are very welcome. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to: o FDMA, TDMA, CDMA system RF capacity simulation o Simulation Methodology for large scale wireless systems (e.g., PCS, Ad-Hoc Networks, etc..) o Performance evaluation of handoff, power control, registration and o Paging processes (e.g.,benchmark, theoretical studies, and empirical studies) o Performance modeling of mobile and wireless communication networks o Network support for wireless and mobile systems (e.g, QoS requirements and their realization) o Simulation application of wireless protocols and standards o Modeling&Simulation of Mobile Computing Systems (e.g., Communication,Management, Routing o Protocols, Channel Assignments, Security) o Mobile agents technology Applied to wireless systems o Wireless networks and switches o Wireless multimedia o Wireless data and multimedia services o New simulation languages, tools for wireless systems o Animating Language Tools, Visualization Tools for ComputationalProcess under Simulation o Influence of Network-Centric Systems (such as Java, and DCOM) on wireless systems o Parallel and distributed simulation o Modeling and Analysis of Speech, audio and video wireless transmission SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers written in English should not exceed 5000 words (approximately 15-20 pages). Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form to mswim2000@polito.it postscript or Microsoft Word 6.0 (or higher) only. Hardcopy papers can also be submitted, in which case four copies are required. Each submission, electronic or paper, must be accompanied by the following information: a short abstract, a complete list of authors and their affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, postal and e-mail addresses.
