The International Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling Analysis and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) provides a forum for discussion of recent developments on analytical and simulation tools and techniques for the performance evaluation of communications systems.

It was launched in 1986, being held every 2 years until 2006, often in cooperation with flagship IEEE Communication Society conferences (Int. Conference on Communications - ICC, Global Telecommunication Conference - GLOBECOM). Since 2006, the workshop has been held once every year motivated by the ever increasing interest in this hot research and development field with last venues organized in Trento (CAMAD’06) and Pisa (CAMAD’09) as a stand-alone events, in conjunction with IEEE PIMRC 2007 in Athens, Greece (CAMAD’07) and co-located with the ICC 2008 in Beijing, China. In 2009 and 2010, CAMAD has been an IEEE Communications Society portfolio event.

IEEE CAMAD 2011 will be held on June 10-11, 2011, just after ICC 2011, in Kyoto Japan
