========================================================================
2nd OMNeT++ Community Summit 2015

IBM Research - Zurich, Switzerland - September 3-4, 2015
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

http://summit.omnetpp.org
========================================================================

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 and systems.

The OMNeT++ Community Summit is the successor of the International
Workshop on OMNeT++. After a very successful first summit in 2014, we
continue to expand the idea of an open community meeting with space for
tutorials, discussion and coding sessions as well as presentations on
recent developments and novel ideas in the broad area of network
simulation and modeling, with a focus on the OMNeT++ simulation
environment.

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

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Design, evaluation, validation of simulation models
- Comparison with other simulation / emulation tools
- Parallel simulation and simulation control
- Integration of hardware-specific code
- Simulative approaches to performance evaluation
- Cross-layer protocol design methodologies
- Simulation credibility and validation
- Use of discrete event simulation in other domains
- Integration with other simulation tools
- Result interpretation and analysis
- Modeling techniques, including stochastic and hybrid modeling
- Simulation in the loop
- Industrial applications

-----------------------------
SUBMISSION and PARTICIPATION
-----------------------------
We invite researchers and users alike to submit one or more of the
following contribution types:

- Abstracts (max. 4 pages) targeting ongoing and finalized research
questions, introducing novel simulation techniques or new simulation
models, and addressing questions of accurate and efficient simulation
modeling.
- Proposals for tutorials or demonstrations on existing or new
simulation models or frameworks, modeling techniques, OMNeT++
functionalities, and case studies.
- Proposals for coding sessions, discussion panels and other
interactive community activities.

All submissions 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 ask the
author(s) to publicize source code at the time of submission.

Submissions will be checked by the technical program committee and the
organizers. Individual contributions will be invited to be presented as
oral presentations, posters, demos, tutorials or panels, depending on
the submission type and their expected interest for the OMNeT++
community.

Submissions should be prepared in the IEEE conference proceedings
format, including the submission type as a sub- header. Detailed
instructions, together with format files, are available on the website:
https://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 solely with the
authors. This allows for a publication of revised versions at other
venues.

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