The technical program of the 18th ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM), held in 2015 in Cancun, Mexico, continues to build upon the high standards set by previous editions of the conference.
In 2015, 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 17 countries spread over five continents, reflecting the truly international profile of MSWiM. The five most commonly listed topics for submissions to MSWiM'15 were:
Performance evaluation and modeling
Wireless network algorithms and protocols
Wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, Vehicular networks
Algorithms 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 34 regular papers, which correspond to an acceptance rate of approximately 24%. 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:
"5G mmWave Module for the ns-3 Network Simulation," Marco Mezzavilla, Sourjya Dutta, Menglei Zhang, Mustafa Akdeniz, and Sundeep Rangan;
"Data Dependency based Parallel Simulation of Wireless Networks," Mirko Stoffers, Torsten Sehy, James Gross, and Klaus Wehrle;
"Minimizing Access Delay for M2M Traffic in Multi-RAT HetNets," Prajwal Osti, Samuli Aalto, and Pasi Lassila.
The winner among these three papers will be announced at the conference banquet, and will be reported in the proceedings of MSWiM 2016. At this point, we take the opportunity to congratulate the winners of the best paper award for MSWiM 2015:
"Impact of Node Mobility on Single-Hop Cluster Overlap in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks," authored by Khadige Abboud and Weihua Zhuang.
