Proceedings of the 20th ACM International Conference on Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems

Abstract

The technical program of the 20th ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM), held in Miami Beach, USA in 2017 continues to build upon the high standards set by previous editions of the conference. In 2017, the call for papers attracted 142 registered papers in all areas of mobile and wireless systems. The submitted papers came from 36 countries. Members of the Technical Program Committee are affiliated to universities and industry in 15 countries spread over five continents, reflecting the truly international profile of MSWiM. The five most commonly listed topics for submissions to MSWiM'17 were: Performance evaluation and modelingWireless network algorithms and protocolsWireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, Vehicular networksAlgorithms and protocols for energy efficiency and power control Analytical 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 29 regular papers, which correspond to an acceptance rate of approximately 20%. An additional 12 short papers were recommended for the program owing to their quality and contribution. Among the regular papers, the following three papers were shortlisted as candidates for the best paper award: "Experimental Study of Packet Loss in a UWB Sensor Network for Aircraft," Naveen Kolar Daniel Neuhold (Alpen Adria Universität, Austria); Jorge F. Schmidt (Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Austria); Jirka Klaue (Airbus Group Innovations, Germany); Dominic A. Schupke (Airbus & Innovation, Germany); Christian Bettstetter (University of Klagenfurt, Austria);"Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance and Detection," JJ Garcia-Luna-Aceves (University of California at Santa Cruz & Palo Alto Research Center, USA);"Cost-Effective Processing in Fog-Integrated Internet of Things Ecosystems," Wei Bao and Wei Li (The University of Sydney, Australia); Flávia Coimbra Delicato and Paulo F. Pires (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); Dong Yuan, Bing Bing Zhou, and Albert Zomaya (University of Sydney, Australia). The winner among these three papers will be announced at the conference banquet, and will be reported in the proceedings of MSWiM 2017. At this point, we take the opportunity to congratulate the winners of the best paper award for MSWiM 2016: "Theoretical Interference Analysis of Inter-vehicular Communication at Intersection with Power Control," Tatsuaki Kimura (NTT Corporation, Japan) and Hiroshi Saito (NTT Corporation, Japan).
