CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

1st OMNeT++ Community Summit 2014
(Successor of the International Workshop on OMNeT++)
http://summit.omnetpp.org

September 2nd, 2014, Hamburg, Germany
==========================================================================

OMNeT++ is a public-source, component-based, modular and open-architecture
simulation environment with strong GUI support and an embeddable
simulation kernel. It is designed to simulate discrete event systems, but
the primary application area is the simulation of communication networks.

After six successful editions of the International Workshop on OMNeT++,
we decided to change the workshop format to allow for less costs, more
interaction between participants, and more coding on-site. The successor
of the International Workshop on OMNeT++ is the OMNeT++ Community Summit.
The OMNeT++ Community Summit provides a forum for discussions on recent
developments and novel ideas in the broad area of network simulation and
modeling, with a focus on the OMNeT++ simulation environment.

The summit brings together developers and researchers to discuss
applications and ideas on the important topics of integrating simulation
models, coupling different simulation tools and providing more accurate
and more efficient modeling approaches.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
---------------------------------------------------
o Design, evaluation, & validation of simulation models
o Comparison with other simulation / emulation tools
o Parallel simulation and simulation control
o Integration of hardware-specific code
o Simulative approaches to performance evaluation
o Cross-layer protocol design methodologies
o Simulation credibility and validation
o Use of discrete event simulation in other domains
o Integration with other simulation tools
o Result interpretation and analysis
o Modeling techniques, including stochastic and hybrid modeling
o Simulation in the loop
o Industrial applications

-----------------------------
Submission and Participation:
-----------------------------
We invite the submission of 2-page abstracts targeting ongoing and
finalized research questions, introducing novel simulation techniques,
or addressing questions of accurate and efficient modeling for simulation.
Further we encourage proposals for tutorials, coding sessions, discussion
panels, etc.

All submissions to the summit should be of interest to the OMNeT++
community. We welcome case-studies that employ OMNeT++ in the evaluation
of new systems as well as contributions addressing general questions of
simulation using OMNeT++. For model-centric submissions we encourage the
author's to publicize source code at the time of submission.

All submissions will be checked by the organizers. Individual
contributions will be invited to be presented as oral presentations,
posters, demos, tutorials or panels, depending on their expected interest
for the community.

Submissions should be prepared in the ACM conference proceedings format.
Detailed instructions, together with format files, are available on the
website: http://summit.omnetpp.org

Submissions that are accepted and presented at the summit will appear in
the proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a technical report
via arXiv and the OMNeT++ website. Copyrights will remain with the
authors. This allows publication of revised versions at other venues.

The OMNeT++ Community Summit is sponsored.
Registration fees will not be applied.
