CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on Performance Analysis and Enhancement of 
Wireless Networks (PAEWN'07)

To be held in conjunction with AINA 2007 supported by IEEE Computer Society
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, May 21 - 23, 2007

http://www.inf.brad.ac.uk/~gmin/PAEWN-07.html

SCOPE:

Recent technological developments in wireless communication and mobile
networks have led to many challenging problems that require new 
performance evaluation tools and methods to keep up with their rapid 
evolution and increasing complexity. This workshop will focus on the 
development and application of analytical modeling, simulation, 
prototype testbed, and measurement-based performance evaluation 
techniques to the area of wireless communication networks. 

This workshop is intended to provide an international forum for 
scientists, engineers, practitioners, network and mobile users to share
and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, present original 
ideas, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research results on 
all aspects of performance evaluation of wireless networks and mobile 
computing systems. 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
	Stochastic modelling and performance evaluation of networks
	Design and analysis of  networks and protocols
	Quality of Service provisioning
	Medium access control protocols
	Admission control and congestion control protocols
	Evaluation of reliability and performance guarantees
	Performance evaluation of wireless and sensor devices
	Security issues 
	Traffic models 
	Mobility management and handover issues
	Resource allocation management 
	Routing algorithms 
	Simulation models for optimisation of scarce resources 
	Integration of ad hoc and sensor networks with broadband wireless network infrastructures
	Performance case studies and industrial reports  
	Evaluation of existing tools and techniques 
	Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning
	Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
