CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Session
The 2004 International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Visualization Methods (MSV'04) - Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA June 21-24, 2004 (conference's URL is currently under construction.)
Special Session on:
Network Simulation and Performance Analysis: Practice and Theory
SCOPE
This session is a forum for professionals and researchers involved in performance evaluation of computer networks and telecommunication systems. Performance analysis and evaluation of computer systems and networks is needed for understanding system behavior and the analysis of innovative proposals. The research in the field of performance evaluation has progressed rapidly in the last years. Considerable progress has been made in analytic modeling, simulation, and measurement approaches for performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems and this work has been made from researchers in different fields. Thus, this special session at MSV'04 is intended to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions as technical papers related to architectures, protocols and applications. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Architectures and protocols for heterogeneous network
- Wireless Networks
- Integration of wired and wireless networks
- Internet Technology
- Quality of Service
- MPLS
- Network Protocols
- Network Management and Control
- Network Capacity Planning
- Network security and privacy issues
- High speed switching and routing
- Optical networks Multimedia Communications
- Heterogeneous wireless networks (WLAN/3-4 G, .)
- Mobility, seamless handover and QoS adaptation
- Mobile multimedia communications
- Next generation multimedia communications
- Multimedia middleware and architectures
- Voice over IP
- Distributed Architectures
- Interconnection Networks
- Computer Architectures
- Parallel and Distributed Computing
- Massively Parallel Systems
- Cluster Computing

IMPORTANT DATES:
Papers due: March 15, 2004
Notification of acceptance: April 10, 2004
Camera-ready paper due: April 21, 2004
MSV'04 Conference: June 21-24, 2004:
EVALUATION PROCESS:
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by session chair. The chair will check that the comments provided by the reviewers' have been incorporated in the revised text and that the revised paper follows the formatting rules. The chair will get back to you directly in case there are additional changes that need to be made. The format for camera ready paper version can be found at: http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm.
PUBLICATION:
The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hardcopy. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal publication (soon after the conference). All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, DBLP, ...). After the conference, some sessions will be considered for publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the session chair as the Guest Editor of the journal.
