Proceedings of the 16th ACM international conference on Modeling, analysis & simulation of wireless and mobile systems

Abstract

The technical program of the 16th ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM), held in 2013 in Barcelona, Spain, continues to build upon the high standards set by previous editions of the conference. In 2013, the call for papers attracted 184 registered papers in all areas of mobile and wireless systems of which 160 were accepted into the review process. The submitted papers came from 39 countries, and the accepted papers from 32 countries, reflecting the truly international profile of MSWiM. Members of the Technical Program Committee were drawn from 17 countries spread over five continents. The five most commonly listed topics for submissions to MSWiM'13 were: Performance evaluation and modelingWireless network algorithms and protocolsWireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, VANETSensor and actuator networksAnalytical models The submissions included a large number of papers of very high quality making the selection process difficult and competitive. In the end, we selected 42 regular papers, which is an acceptance rate of 26%. An additional 17 short papers were recommended for the program owing to their high quality and contribution. Among the 42 regular papers, the three shortlisted as candidates for the best paper award are: "RECAST: Telling Apart Social and Random Relationships in Dynamic Networks," Pedro O.S. Vaz de Melo, Aline Carneiro Viana, Marco Fiore, Katia Jaffràs-Runser, Frederic Le Mouel, Antonio A.F. Loureiro."Understanding the Benefits of Open Access in Femtocell Networks: Stochastic Geometric Analysis in the Uplink," Wei Bao, Ben Liang."A Novel Scheduling Algorithm for Densely-Deployed Wireless Stations in Urban Areas," Hirozumi Yamaguchi, Akihito Hiromori, Teruo Higashino, Shigeki Umehara, Hirofumi Urayama, Masaya Yamada, Taka Maeno, Shigeru Kaneda, Mineo Takai. The winner among these three papers will be announced at the conference banquet, and will be reported in the proceedings of MSWiM 2013. At this point, we take the opportunity to congratulate the winners of the best paper award for MSWiM 2012: "Influence of Spatial Statistics of Spectrum Use on the Performance of Cognitive Wireless Networks", J. Riihijärvi, J. Nasreddine, P. Mähönen.
