SCOPE and OVERVIEW:

Wireless networks, including WLAN, WiMax, wireless personal networks,
ad hoc, sensor, along with pervasive networks, have witnessed their
fastest growth period over the last few years and have become
increasingly complex. Nonetheless, performance evaluation and analysis
of wireless networks have been conducted mostly through software
simulations (e.g., using ns-2 or OPNET tools). Recently, research
efforts have been directed towards measuring real-world commercial and
experimental networks; constructing models based on real-world data
and using prototypes to evaluate solutions more realistically and
comprehensively and to validate assumptions and conclusions that are
reached via simulation experiments.

Performance monitoring, measurement, and evaluation of heterogeneous
wired and wireless mobile networks pose a new set of unique challenges
due to the particular inherent properties of these systems and due to
the characteristics of the wireless transmission medium.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers, and
practitioners in order to share and exchange their experiences,
discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress
research on all aspects of performance measurements, monitoring, and
evaluation of heterogeneous wired and wireless mobile networks,
including, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks.
