Note from the Program Chair: Due to confusion over deadlines and numerous author requests, the deadline for submission of papers to CNDS'03 has been extended a final time to Nov. 1, 2002. Abstract submissions are not required.
The objective of CNDS is to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas among international researchers on advances in the design and performance analysis of communication networks and distributed systems. CNDS'03 seeks original, high quality papers that focus on simulation modeling and analysis challenges faced by researchers seeking to develop new principles or gain greater insight into the design tradeoffs and performance limitations inherent to emerging and existing networking technologies.
CNDS'03 seeks papers are that emphasize either simulation methodology or application 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.
 | Pervasive Computing |
| Distributed Sensor Networks |
| Ad Hoc Networks |
| Power Control in Wireless Networks |
| Mobility Modeling |
| Mobility Management |
| Simulating Wireless Networks |
| Advances in Large Scale Network Simulation |
| Switch and Processor Architectures for High Speed Routers |
| Advances in Computer Architecture and Memory Systems |
| Network and Parallel Computing |
| Real-Time and Mobile Web-Based Computing |
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. Abstract are strongly encouraged but not required in advance of the final papers. All submissions are to be made electronically to SCS via the proceedings management system:
http://scs.proceedingscentral.com. Submissions should not exceed 25 double-spaced, 8.5x11 inch pages (including figures, tables, and references) in 10-12 point font. Include five to ten keywords, complete postal and e-mail addresses, and fax and phone numbers of corresponding author. Papers must be in English. For further instructions, please refer to the Upload Instructions in the Author Center of the Proceedings Central web site. 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.
All submissions will be fully refereed for accuracy, technical content, and relevance. In 2003 approximately 40% of paper submissions were accepted---accepted manuscripts are limited to 6 single-spaced pages. SCS allows extended papers at a per-page fee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference's proceedings to be published by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International. Instructions for submitting camera ready papers will be sent to authors following paper acceptance. 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.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, Prof. McDonald with any questions concerning the paper submission and review process, or questions regarding the relevance of a paper to the conference.
