Call for Papers

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        3rd Int'nal Workshop on Wireless Network Measurement (WinMee)
			jointly organized with the
  3rd Int'nal Workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements & Modeling (WiTMeMo)
                           http://www.winmee.org

                  	       April 20, 2007
                              Limasson, Cyprus

              	           in conjunction with the
	     Int'nal Symposium on Modeling & Optimization in Mobile, 
	             Ad Hoc & Wireless Networks (WiOpt'07)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wireless networks are more complex and vulnerable than their wired 
counterpart. Furthermore, the interaction of different layers and 
technologies create challenging situations that cannot be foreseen during
the design and testing stages of technology development. It is  therefore
critical to perform comprehensive empirical studies in a wide  range of
production environments to uncover deficiencies and identify  possible
optimizations and extensions. The availability of high-quality 
measurement and modeling studies would make it possible to develop 
wireless networks that are more robust, easier to manage and scale, and 
able to utilize scarce resources more efficiently.

The objective of the workshop is to attract the most recent
developments in the area of wireless network measurement and bring 
together active researchers in an environment that encourages
discussion and exchange of ideas.

The submitted papers will be up to 4-pages long in the IEEE
double-column format. The final version of the accepted papers will be  up
to 6 pages long. Submitted papers should have measurement as their  main
subject or they should use measurements to validate their
modeling/analysis results.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Characterization and modeling of wireless demand and network topology
* Benchmarks for wireless networking algorithms, protocols and applications
* Operational experience concerning the performance of wireless networks
* Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility
* Challenges with wireless measurements
* Experimental (in)validation of assumptions in wireless environments
* Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation
* Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations
* Experience with building/designing/expanding wireless networks
* Description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds
* Techniques for improving experiment repeatability
* Techniques for validating results obtained from wireless testbeds
* Measurement-based guidelines for capacity planning

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline:  	December 8, 2006
Notification deadline: 	January 31, 2007
Camera-ready due:  	March 1, 2007
Workshop date: 		April 20, 2007

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submitted papers must not exceed 4 pages in length.  Papers should be 
formatted in two columns with a 10-point font size. Paper submission  will
be through EDAS.  More details will be posted in November.
