******** NSTOOLS 2009 ********* **** Call for Papers **** International Workshop on Network Simulation Tools Pisa, Italy / October 19, 2009 http://www.nstools.org/ **** Submission Deadline -- June 10, 2009 **** --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Network Simulation Tools Workshop (NSTools) is a one-day event held in conjunction with the Fourth International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (VALUETOOLS'09), which will be held in Pisa, Italy, on October 19, 2009. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ** SCOPE ** Simulation tools have been widely used in the Networking community. Some simulators have gained big popularity and are used as a validation of analytical results and proposed protocols. A lot of research is based on the validity of these simulation tools. In order to improve credibility on simulations results it is important that the networking community that uses simulation discusses and applies some rules that allow repeateability and accuracy. The aim of this Network Simulation Tools workshop is to bring together academic and industry researchers from the communities of Networking, Simulation and Statistics to discuss current and future trends in network simulation. The workshop is interested in particular in open-source simulators such as NS2 and NS3, which have been in the center of the previous workshops (WNS2 2006, NSTools 2007, WNS2 2008) as well as Omnet++. ** PAPERS ** This workshop does NOT focus on network research results based on the USE of simulation tools: we are looking for original contributions on the design, validation and performance evaluation of the tools themselves. The following topics are of particular interest: Development of new simulation environments: - new network simulators. - experimental test-beds for simulation validation. - integrating post-processing and statistical analysis in simulators. - large-scale network simulations. - simulation accuracy evaluations. - statistical analysis tools. Others topics: - comparison of network simulators. - interaction between simulation environments. - frameworks for improving accuracy and reproductibility of simulations. - validation of simulators behaviour with experimentation and real data from implementations. ** IMPORTANT DATES ** Full Papers due: June 10, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: July 10, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts due: July 25, 2009 Conference Date: October 19, 2009 ** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ** Conference language is English. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the full paper in the ACM conference proceedings format, which are limited to 10 two-column pages in a font no smaller than 10-points. Submitted papers should be uploaded through the Easychair conference management system. ** PUBLICATION ** All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. All accepted papers will be made available in Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library. ** WORKSHOP CHAIR ** Tania Jimenez, Univ. of Avignon, France ** TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE ** (To be completed) Eitan Altman, INRIA, France Chadi Barakat, INRIA, France Tomas Barros, NIC labs, Chile Claudio Cicconetti, Univ. of Pisa, Italy Olivier Dalle, INRIA, France Tom Henderson, Univ. of Washington, USA Alain Jean-Marie, INRIA, France Lars Michael Kristense, Bergen University College, Norway Mathieu Lacage, INRIA, France Nicolas Montavont, Telecom Bretagne, France Georgios Paschos, CERTH, Greece.
