Scope
-----

Wireless  ad hoc,  sensor,  along  with  ubiquitous  networks have
recently witnessed  their  fastest  growth period ever in history,
and this trend is likely  to continue  for the foreseeable future.
However, as such networks become increasingly complex, performance
modelling  and  evaluation will play crucial  part in their design
process  to ensure their successful deployment and exploitation in
practice.

This  workshop  aims  to bring together scientists, engineers, and
practitioners  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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Predictive  performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
   networks
- Analytical modeling
- Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
- Queuing and network information theoretic analysis
- Tracing and trace analysis
- Software tools for network performance and evaluation
- Simulation methods
- Automatic performance analysis
- Performance comparison
- Performance of wireless and sensor devices
- RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
- Mobility modeling and management
- Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
- Performance evaluation of wireless mesh networks.
- Performance evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous networks
- Network performance improvement through  optimization and tuning
- Performance  measurement, evaluation and monitoring tools for ad
   hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks
- Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in
   the design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
