Proceedings of the 11th ACM symposium on Performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc, sensor, & ubiquitous networks

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 11th ACM International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks (PE-WASUN'14) that takes place in Montreal, Canada, on September 21st--26th, 2014. This year's ACM PE-WASUN symposium brings together scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks with a specific emphasis on their performance evaluation and analysis. The mission of the symposium is to share novel approaches for monitoring, measuring, modeling, simulating, analyzing, optimizing and case-studying the characteristics of ad hoc, sensor, pervasive and ubiquitous networks, as well as exploring and developing new ad hoc networking protocols and tools. ACM PE-WASUN gives researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of performance evaluation. The call for papers attracted many submissions from Europe, the North and South America and the Middle East. The technical program committee accepted 14 regular papers, which cover a variety of topics, including experimental analysis, simulation, design and performance evaluation of routing, vehicular and sensor networks. We hope that these proceedings will serve as valuable references for researchers and developers in the field of wireless ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks.
