Call for Papers
2005 Communication Networks and Distributed Systems Modeling and Simulation Conference (CNDS'05)

Part of the 2005 Western Simulation Multiconference (WesternSim'05)

January 23 - 27, 2005

Wyndham New Orleans at Canal Place Hotel
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

The purpose of this conference is to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas on advances in the design and performance analysis of communications networks and distributed systems. CNDS seeks papers that focus on challenges faced by researchers seeking to develop new principles and gain greater insight into design tradeoffs and performance limitations inherent in emerging systems. CNDS’05 will feature a keynote speaker, panel discussion, a Best-Paper Award and a Best-Student Paper Award.

Papers are solicited from, but not limited to the following topics:

	Current Challenges in Network Simulation
	Methods and Applications for Network Simulators
	Modeling and Analysis of Wireless Systems
	Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
	Cross-Layer Effects and Design in Wireless Systems
	Scalable Simulation of Dynamic Networks
	Mobility Modeling, Simulation and Analysis
	Traffic Modeling and Validation
	Network-Based Quality-of-Service
	Distributed Information Management
	Emerging Topics in Networks and Distributed Systems

Instructions for Authors:

CNDS seeks original high quality papers that emphasize simulation methods, analysis or application. Submissions must be made via the SCS Manuscript Central management system. All submissions will be fully refereed for originality, technical content and relevance. Final papers are limited the 6 single-space, double-column papers. For more information see the submission instructions in the Author Center of the Manuscript Central web site. One author is required to register and present the paper at the conference.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Chairs (see below) with any questions concerning the paper submission and review process, or questions regarding the relevance of a paper to the conference.
