Message from MoMoPE 2011 International Workshop Organizers

Abstract

Welcome to the Second International Workshop on Mobility Modeling and Performance Evaluation (MoMoPE-2011) which is a one-day workshop in conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing (IMIS) 2011, 30 June to 2 July 2011, held at the Korean Bible University (KBU), Seoul, Korea. The demand for mobility modeling and performance evaluation has been dramatically increasing in the areas of vehicular, autonomous, and cognitive communications. Especially, mobile protocols and mobility service used in such areas have posed various challenges to the academic and industry. These challenges require effective mobility modeling methods to obtain precise performance evaluation results that allow designing new mobile protocols, mobility service, and robust solutions. Research results in mathematical, simulation, and experiences on mobility modeling and performance evaluation studies are welcome. The purpose of MoMoPE is to bring together the academic and industry working on different aspects related to mobile computing in efforts to highlight the state-of-art research on mobility modeling and performance, exchange ideas, and explore new research directions. This year only 10 papers have been accepted to be presented in the following three sessions of MoMoPE 2011: 1) Performance Modeling of Vehicular Mobility, 2) Performance Modeling of Mobility Protocols, and 3) Performance Modeling of Security Protocols. Since the accepted papers are carefully reviewed and selected by the program committee members, the half of the accepted papers will be further considered for possible publication in the special issue on “Performance Modeling and Simulation for Future Mobile Networks” of Mathematical and Computer Modelling (MCM), ISSN: 0895-7177, Elsevier. It is impossible to organize such a successful program without the help of many individuals. We would like to express our appreciation to the authors of the submitted papers, and to the program committee members, who provided timely and significant reviews. In addition, we would like to express a lively sense of gratitude to IMIS 2011 organizing committee for unstinting support. We hope all of you enjoy this year event of MoMoPE and find this a productive opportunity to exchange ideas with many researchers.
