The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS) presents:
Part of the 2002 SCS Western Multiconference on Computer SimulationKeynote Address by Dr. Erol Gelenbe Professor of Computer Science and of Electrical Engineering, Director of the School of EECS and Associate Dean of Engineering at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. January 27-31, 2002 Four Points Sheraton Hotel, Riverwalk North San Antonio, Texas (The deadline for submitting technical session papers to CNDS 2002 has passed) *** Confirmations for all submission should be received by October 5, 2001 ***
Please contact program chair (mcdonald@ece.neu.edu) if you have not received confirmation by Oct 5. Call for Tutorial Proposals:The Organizing Committee of CNDS 2002 is that encompass any aspect of the simulation, modeling and design of networks or distributed systems. Both instructional talks relevant to any of the conference topics, and talks focused on practical experience in the design and implementation of new simulation or modeling tools are of particular interest. Tutorial sessions will be limited to the time of a regular session (1.5 hours). Evaluation of tutorial proposals will be based on the expertise and experience of the instructors, and on the relevance of the subject matter. You need not have submitted a reviewed paper to have your proposal considered. Interested instructors are requested to submit a tutorial proposal of no more than four pages, including a brief biographical sketch, via e-mail to the program chair (mcdonald@ece.neu.edu) no later than November 9, 2001. Earlier submission of tutorial proposals is strongly encouraged. You are also encouraged to contact the program chair via email or phone (617-373-3028) prior to submission of a proposal.
General Chair:Dr. Taieb F. Znati Senior Program Director National Science Foundation Advanced Networking Infrastructure Research (ANIR) and Professor, Computer Science Department University of Pittsburgh Tel: +1 (412) 624-8417 Fax: +1 (412) 624-8854 Email: znati@cs.pitt.edu Web: (ANIR) Program Chair: CNDS 2002: Call For Papers(CNDS 2002 Program: (pdf)) The objective of this conference is to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas among a talented group of international researchers on advances in the design and performance analysis of communication networks and distributed systems. The conference emphasizes modeling, technical advances and unique applications in the areas of high speed networking, wireless communications, multimedia applications, computer architecture and distributed, parallel and mobile computing systems.The structure of the conference is designed to facilitate collegiality and continuity of discussion among the conference speakers and attendees on the topics covered during the week. Paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts and methodologies based on the presentation of results and innovative modeling, simulation or analysis techniques. The conference grew out of the need to improve the efficiency and quality of models of increasingly complex networks and distributed systems. Original, high-quality technical papers, addressing significant aspects of the design, modeling, or performance analysis of communication networks and distributed systems are solicited for review, possible presentation and subsequent publication in the conference proceedings. Papers that include well-conceived or innovative simulation modeling techniques with strong results and analysis are especially sought. Expanded versions of papers of outstanding quality will be considered for publication in one of two important journals.
Papers are solicited from, but not limited to the following topics: * Performance Modeling and Analysis * Mobile and Nomadic Computing * Distributed and Wireless Multimedia Systems * QoS Support for Wireless Ad Hoc Network Applications * Routing and Mobility Management in Wireless Networks * Power Control in Wireless Computer Systems * Distributed and Intelligent Sensor Networks * Wearable Computer Systems * Resource Allocation in High Speed Networks * Switch and Processor Architectures for High Speed Routers * Advances in Computer Architecture and Memory Systems * Network and Parallel Computing * Storage Area Networks * Content Based Image Retrieval Systems * Real-Time and Mobile Web-Based Computing * Reliable Multicast Routing and Group Communications * Network and Application Security and Availability * Web Caching and Switching * Scalable and Reliable Distributed Servers * Load Balancing in Distributed Systems

Anonymous ftp may also be used directly: ftp.ece.neu.edu:/pub/conf/CNDS/2002/Submissions. Authors may also submit manuscripts via email directly to the Program Chair. The prefered file format is PDF. Please send papers via email to: mcdonald@ece.neu.edu. Papers must be in English and submitted files must be in Postscript or PDF format with all figures and tables included. Files names must be unique and reflect the name of the primary author, his or her primary affiliation, the version number of the file and an extension indicating the file type. Multiple versions may be uploaded; however, only the most recent will be reviewed. Filenames are not readable once the file transfer has been completed. Confirmations will be sent to the contact author when the file has been retrieved and successfully viewed or printed. Only original unpublished material will be considered for publication. This year's International TPC is outstanding. Its members represent a broad spectrum of interrelated interests and technical expertise relevent to CNDS including performance analysis, simulation, communications networks, both wired and wireless, mobile computing, computer architecture, distributed systems and more. The TPC consists of newcomers and veterans of CNDS from Universities and Research Labs around the world. Each member is committed to ensure that all submissions are fully refereed for accuracy, technical content, and relevance, and to make this year's conference an exciting International forum for the presentation of high quality work and the exchange of ideas. Papers should be limited to 20 double-spaced pages (camera-ready versions are limited to 6 single-spaced pages). Authors must include a single page which includes all the authors' names, titles and affiliations, a paper abstract, list of top three relevant topics and contact person information (complete address, email, phone, and fax). Accepted papers will appear in the Conference's Proceedings to be published by the Society for Computer Simulation. Instructions for submitting camera ready papers will be sent to authors following paper acceptance. An award will be presented to the best paper presented at WMC'02. Authors of top papers will also be encouraged to submit a follow-on paper to the International Journal in Computer Simulation. Authors must obtain employer, client, or government releases prior to submittal of the final manuscript.
