Proceedings of the 18th ACM Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, & Ubiquitous Networks

Abstract

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 18th ACM International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks (PE-WASUN'21) that takes place in Alicante, Spain, on November 22nd - 26th, 2021. This year's ACM PE-WASUN symposium brings together scientists, engineers, and technicians 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 objective of the symposium is to share novel proposals for monitoring, measuring, simulating, modeling, analyzing, optimizing, testing 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 views with other researchers interested in the diverse aspects of performance evaluation. The call for papers attracted a high number of submissions from Europe, North and South America, and Asia. The technical program committee accepted 17 regular papers, which cover a variety of topics, including experimental and simulation analysis, design and performance evaluation of routing protocols and multimedia services, 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.
