QoSim 2009
2nd International Workshop on the
Evaluation of Quality of Service through Simulation
in the Future Internet
- Held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2009 -
!!! Submission deadline extended to November 30, 2008 !!!
The second International Workshop on the Evaluation of Quality
of Service through Simulation in the Future Internet (QoSim) is
a one-day event held in conjunction with the Second International
Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques for Communications,
Networks and Systems (SIMUTOOLS 2009), which will be
held in Rome, Italy, on March 2-6, 2009.
Simulation has long been the primary evaluation tool used by the
networking community for supporting the design and tuning of
protocols, architectures and applications. During the last years,
the wide-scale deployment of wireless access and the emerging of
new access technologies, such as 802.16, Beyond 3G cellular packet
systems, and Wireless Mesh Networks, as well as the ever-increasing
popularity of applications requiring Quality of Service (QoS), such
as Voice over IP and video streaming, have made the thorough and
sound assessment of QoS a challenging but indispensable task for
the evolution towards a future Internet. Furthermore, emerging
user-centric and service-oriented network paradigms require new
definitions of QoS and service attributes, closer to the user
perception, as well as new simulation models to assess them. Last,
but not least, new research directions in networking architectures,
advocating a long-term disruptive or “clean slate” (re-)design of
the Internet, also demand new simulation tools and techniques to
prove the feasibility and assess the performance of the proposed
solutions.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together academic and industry
researchers and practitioners from both the networking and the
simulation communities to discuss current and future trends in
simulation techniques, models and practices for the Future Internet
and to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this
area. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research
contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
- Emerging access technologies (WiMax, 3.5G, Wireless Mesh Networks, 802.11x, etc.)
- Disruptive network paradigms (bio-inspired, autonomic, opportunistic networking, etc.)
- Multi-layer network architectures
- Cross-layer simulation
- End-to-end simulation of heterogeneous, mobile and multi-domain networks
- Fluid-flow simulation for assessing QoS in large scale networks
- New and emerging services and applications
- QoS negotiation, service chain negotiation and Service Level Agreements
- QoS components (scheduling algorithms, admission control schemes, QoS routing and traffic engineering schemes, etc.)
- Scalability analysis
- Traffic modeling
All accepted papers will be made available in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library
Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International.
