Proceedings of the 23rd International ACM Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems

Abstract

Welcome to the 23rd ACM International Conference on Modelling, Analysis, and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM). This year, we will not be able to enjoy together the warm beaches of Alicante, Spain. MSWiM will exceptionally be held online due to the COVID- 19 situation. Over the years, MSWiM has established itself as a leading venue where some of the best research works, trends and directions in the area of modeling and performance evaluation of wireless and mobile systems are presented and discussed. The 23rd MSWiM has a high-quality scientific program and two distinguished keynotes addressed by the following outstanding experts, Prof. Albert Zomaya from the University of Sydney, Australia, and Prof. Arturo Azcorra from the University Carlos III of Madrid. The winner of this year's Reginald G. Fessenden Award will be announced at the ACM MSWiM 2020 closing session. This Award has been established six years ago and it is granted to a distinguished researcher to recognize excellence and remarkable contributions in research work in the field of Wireless Communications and Mobile Networking. Along with the main conference program, four symposia will be held: MobiWac, DIVANet, PEWASUN and Q2SWinet. These symposia have become successful and competitive in their own right, covering new research trends and visionary work within mobile and wireless systems. Putting together a high-quality conference like MSWiM requires a great team effort. We would like to acknowledge those who have handled the many details related to the event. We appreciate the excellent work done by the TPC Co-Chairs Antonio A.F. Loureiro and Carlo Giannelli, who have brilliantly managed the entire technical program process. We also thank the reviewing work done by the TPC members and external reviewers. A special thanks goes to the whole team who hardly worked for the technical excellence and success of the event, including Rodolfo W. L. Coutinho (Poster/Demo Chair), Mirela Notare (Workshop Chair), Ahmed Mostefaoui (Tutorials Chair), Moayad Aloqaily and Mirela Notare (Publicity Co- Chairs), and Noura Aljeri (Web Chair). In addition, we take the opportunity to highlight our appreciation to the MSWiM Steering Committee for their guidance and support. We also wish to thank our main sponsor, ACM SIGSIM. Finally, many thanks to all of you for your active participation to the MSWiM community; without your continuous support and activities, this event would not have been possible.
