ACM/IET/ICST International Workshop on Performance and Analysis of Wireless Networks

Wireless communication technologies have been evolving at a rapid pace  
over the last few decades. Different types of wireless communication  
networks (BAN, PAN, LAN, etc) are being deployed to address the needs  
of all kinds of users. Evaluating the performance of wireless networks  
and systems continues to be a critical activity in the design,  
implementation, and deployment of emerging wireless technologies. This  
workshop is intended to provide an international forum for scientists,  
engineers, practitioners, network users to share their experiences,  
present original ideas, report on state-of-the-art and in-progress  
research results on the empirical performance of wireless  
communication technologies and applications.

In contrast to many past and current workshops also covering the topic  
of wireless networks, this event places special emphasis on empirical  
performance results obtained on actual, physical wireless network  
infrastructures, test beds, networked hosts, and devices. Performance  
results obtained using only modelling, theoretical analysis or  
simulators without a strong practical performance component are not  
appropriate for this workshop. We particularly welcome submissions  
that present experimental performance evaluations of innovative  
wireless design/implementation prototype architectures, systems, and  
applications. We hope that the contributions to this workshop will  
help us better understand many of the practical performance related  
issues that are likely to impact next generation wireless networks,  
technologies, and applications.

Topics of interest, but are not limited to:

• Performance of wireless media access protocols
• Performance of mobility protocols and architectures
• Performance of mobility management protocols and architectures
• Performance of wireless local area networks, personal area networks
• Performance of broadband wireless access technologies (WiMAX, etc)
• Performance of 3G/4G networks, systems, and protocols
• Performance of sensor networks and devices
• Performance of heterogeneous wireless networks
• Performance of wireless security protocols
• Performance of wireless communication protocols
• Performance of admission control protocols over wireless networks
• Performance optimizations and tuning over wireless networks
• Performance of heterogeneous wired/wireless network testbeds
• Performance of wireless applications
• Performance measurement tools and techniques for wireless networks
