Scope and Overview:

ACM/IEEE MSWiM 2006 is the Ninth Annual International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems. MSWiM is an international forum dedicated to high level discussion of Wireless and Mobile systems, networks, algorithms and applications, with an emphasis on rigorous performance evaluation. MSWiM is a highly selective conference that is recognized as one of the most prestigious sources of innovative ideas and breakthroughs in the field.  MSWiM 2006 will be held October 2 to 6, 2006, in sunny Terremolinos, in Spain.

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile and wireless systems.  Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal.


Topics of Interest:  Papers related to wireless and mobile network Modeling, Analysis, Design, and Simulation are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Analytical Models
• New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems
• Design methodologies
• Performance evaluation and modeling
• Formal methods for analysis of wireless systems
• Wireless Network Protocols
• Wireless Multimedia Systems
• Tools, Prototype and Testbeds

Submission instructions and publication:

will be published on the conference web site shortly (http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2006). Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by ACM press.

A Special Issue with (Elsevier) Computer Network Journal containing Best Papers will be scheduled

Submission instructions and publication:
High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference. Paper length should not exceed 20 pages. Only Postscript and PDF formats are accepted. Instructions for paper submission will be posted at: http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2006/

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by ACM. A Journal Special Issue will be planned which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.
