Call for Papers
Networks and Communications Track
at the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) 2014
Dec. 07-10th, 2014, Savannah, Georgia, USA
http://wintersim.org/
The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international
forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of dynamic systems
modeling and simulation. In addition to a technical program of
unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place
for simulation practitioners, researchers and vendors. Research in
modeling and simulation is propelled by fostering cross fertilization
between various disciplines. The Network and Communication track focuses
on technologies for modeling and simulating computer and communication
networks, networked systems and applications, wireless and mobile
communications, and social networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distributed and networked applications and systems
- Future internet architecture, clean-slate network design,
software-defined networking
- Wireless and mobile networks
- Data center networking
- Social networking
- Network security, cyber defense applications
- Traffic modeling and analysis
- High-performance network modeling techniques
- Large-scale network simulation
- Network simulation tools and software
- Network emulation, real-time simulation, online simulation, symbiotic
simulation
- Training and education
In addition to the general topics above, the authors are encouraged to
submit papers to fit with the themes of the following special sessions:
Special Session: Modeling and Simulation in Cyber Security
Chair: Stephan Eidenbenz, Los Alamos National Laboratory
As cyber security becomes omnipresent in private, business, and military
operations, there exists and opportunity to define the role of modeling
and simulation technology in the area of cyber operations. The use of
networks and communication infrastructure by cyber attackers and
defenders is central to this emergent research area. We invite
contributions with a cyber security background. We are particularly
interested in contributions that describe use cases for simulation in
cyber security, scaling and data challenges, and the attempt to use
simulation in a real-time cyber challenges.
Special Session: Network Simulation and Emulation
Chair: Dong (Kevin) Jin, Illinois Institute of Technology
The advancement of networking technologies are highly dependent on the
successful transitions of in-house research ideas into real productions.
Network simulation and emulation play essential roles to such
transitions, and have many applications ranging from military
applications, power grid facilities, enterprise cloud services, and
other critical networking infrastructure. We are soliciting high-quality
papers in all aspects of network simulation and emulation technology,
including (but not restricted to) the following areas: network
simulation/emulation methodology, future internet architecture,
software-defined networking, wireless and mobile networks, data center
networking, social networking, network simulation/emulation tools and
software, training and education.
Special Session: Scenario Modeling for Wireless Network Simulations
Chair: Aarti Munjal, Colorado School of Public Health
Simulations are typically the only tools available for the performance
evaluation of a wireless network. While the number of simulation tools
has significantly increased over the years, the credibility of
simulation-based studies has been highly compromised. The credible
performance analysis of a wireless network includes both realistic
mobility modeling as well as realistic scenario modeling. In this
session, we invite high-quality papers that contribute new research
directions and efforts in performing credible wireless network
simulations. Research work exploring collection, measurements, and
analysis of real traces to create new 'realistic' mobility models and
challenges in defining and creating a
credible scenario for wireless networks (including DTNs, VANETs) are
solicited. The goal of this session is to promote development of
research tools and methods towards credible scenario modeling of
wireless networks. Systems-related, theoretical, experimental, as well
as work-in-progress papers in the related research area are also
welcome.
Special Session: Simulation and Modeling of Large-Scale Networks
Chair: David M. Nicol, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Large scale networks are pervasive, and their operations significantly
impact the behavior of computer applications that use them. Very
significant questions arise concerning the nature of models one uses in
simulations of systems that rely on large networks: questions about
model resolution, how knowledge or ignorance of network parameters might
affect the fidelity of the overall system model, and
appropriate/effective means of executing the simulation in parallel or
distributed fashion. We invite contributions that address any
mathematical or methodological issue that arises from consideration of
modeling and simulation of networks involving tens of thousands of
devices or more.
Special Session: Simulation of Vehicular Networks
Chair: Christoph Sommer, University of Paderborn
Fueled by recent announcements that hardware for Inter-Vehicle
Communication (IVC) might become mandatory for new vehicles soon, the
research community is working hard to investigate the challenges and
opportunities that the resulting vehicular networks might bring. A key
component of many such investigations is simulation, the focal point of
expertise from a wide array of sciences. We invite contributions that
address the many challenges that vehicular network simulations face,
just as we invite contributions that discuss new approaches or new
applications of vehicular network simulations.
WSC 2014 will be held in Savannah, Georgia, at the Westin Savannah
Harbor Golf Resort & Spa and the adjacent Savannah International Trade &
Convention Center. The hotel and convention center are located on
Hutchinson Island along the scenic Savannah River. Visitors can take a
complimentary water ferry to explore Savannah’s landmark Historic
District, where restaurants, shopping, boat tours, trolley tours and
horse-drawn carriages are available.
*PAPER DEADLINES AND REQUIREMENTS*
Authors are invited to submit full papers for presentation in the track
at the conference. Full papers must be 5 to 12 pages in length. All
contributed paper submissions will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers
