Abstract | This Volume contains the 11 papers corresponding to poster and demo presentations
accepted to the 7th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Modeling,
Analysis and Simulation ofWireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM 04),
that is held October 4-6, 2004, in Venice, Italy.
MSWiM 2004 (http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2004/) is intended to provide
an international forum for original ideas, recent results and achievements on
issues and challenges related to mobile and wireless systems.
A Call for Posters was announced and widely disseminated, soliciting posters
that report on recent original results or on-going research in the area of wireless
and mobile networks. Prospective authors were encouraged to submit interesting
results on all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile and
wireless networks and systems. The scope and topics of the Posters Session
were the same as those included in the MSWiM Call for Papers (see above).
Poster presentations were meant to provide authors with early feedback on
their research work and enable them to present their research and exchange
ideas during the Symposium.
All submissions to the call for posters as well as selected papers submitted
to MSWiM 04 were considered and reviewed. The review process resulted in
accepting the set of 11 papers included in this Volume. Accepted posters will
also be on display during the Symposium.
The set of papers in this Proceedings covers a wide range of important topics
in wireless and mobile computing, including channel allocation in wireless
networks, quality of service provisioning in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, IP
mobility support, energy conservation, routing in mobile adhoc networks, resource
sharing, wireless access to the WWW, sensor networks etc. The performance
evaluation techniques used include both analysis and simulation.
We hope that the poster papers included in this Volume will facilitate a fruitful
and lively discussion and exchange of interesting and creative ideas during
the Symposium.
We wish to thank the MSWiM Steering Committee Chair Azzedine Boukerche
and the Program Co-Chairs ofMSWiM 04 Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini and
Lorenzo Donatiello for their valuable help in the selection procedure. Also, the
MSWiM 04 Publicity Co-Chairs Luciano Bononi, Helen Karatza and Mirela
Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare for disseminating the Call for Posters.
We wish to warmly thank the Poster Proceedings Chair Ioannis Chatzigiannakis
for carefully doing an excellent job in preparing the Volume you now
hold in your hands. |
