The 10th IEEE Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling, Analysis and Design of Communication Links and Networks

November 29th 2004

Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion Hotel

The IEEE Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling, Analysis and Design of Communication Links and Networks is a unique forum for the presentation of recent advances in modeling and simulation of communications systems. The 10th workshop will be held during Globecom'2004.

The workshop is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling.

Topics of Interest

Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit original, in-depth technical papers for presentation and publication in the workshop proceedings. Topics of special interest are:

  • Traffic modeling and management:
    • Multimedia
    • ATM
    • Wireless networks
    • Internet
    • xDSL
  • Self-similar and long-range dependent traffic
  • Wireless network optimization
  • Modeling of Signalling and Service Control Systems
  • Simulation techniques
  • Modeling techniques
  • Computer-aided modeling, analysis and design of high speed networks
  • Parallel and distributed simulation
  • Object-oriented modelling and simulation
  • Software tools
  • Network and link data warehousing and mining
  • Network Design
  • Broadband over satellite

Session on CAMAD for Wireless Network Optimization

The session on “CAMAD for Wireless Network Optimization” will focus on the use of computer-aided methodologies for optimization of wireless network organization. The topics of interest are mainly related tp novel analytical and simulation approaches to modeling and analysis of wireless networks.

 

The session will consist of 8-10 papers and mainly focus on invited works, with presentation given from relevant experts in the field of wireless network analysis and modeling. Additional papers will be accepted from an open call.

 

Session on CAMAD for xDSL TR-59 Architecture Performance evaluation

The session on “CAMAD for xDSL TR-59 Architecture Performance Evaluation” will focus on the use of simulation techniques to validate the TR-59 Architecture for xDSL networks proposed by the DSL Forum. Topics of particular interest include QoS options identified in TR-59 for hierarchical rate shaping, and policing, dynamic MTU re-negotiation, Cross-layer QoS interactions, QoS across trust boundaries, and policy enabled xDSL networks.
