We are seeking high quality technical papers that present original results related to the topics listed below. * * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Part of the 2002 SCS Western Multiconference on Computer Simulation 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. In addition to the technical sessions, the conference includes an invited keynote speaker, and there will be vendor presentations and exhibits arranged in conjunction with the 2002 SCS Western Simulation Multiconference (WMC). 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. Papers are solicited from 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 IMPORTANT DATES: * The CDNS'02 deadline has been extended from September 15, 2001 to September 21, 2001 in order to match a misprint in a recently distributed WCN'02 brochure. Please make a note of the new date(s). September 21, 2001 Paper Submission Deadline. October 21, 2001 Acceptance Notification. November 21, 2001 Camera Ready Paper Deadline. * Note: Some printed announcements were distributed with incorrect information regarding submission instructions. Please make note of instructions as given here and on the CNDS WWW site. Authors are requested to submit manuscripts electronically to the Program Chair by 11:00 pm (Eastern Time) of the due date via Anonymous ftp directly: ftp.ece.neu.edu:/pub/conf/CNDS/2002/Submissions. Papers can also be uploaded using the Web Site: www.ece.neu.edu/conf/CNDS/2002/. *Please check the web site again prior to making your submission as we are hoping to install conference management software that will alter the procedures and ease the task for everyone.) 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. Please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, Prof. McDonald via email (mcdonald@ece.neu.edu), or telephone ((617) 373-3028) with any questions concerning the paper submission and review process, or questions regarding the relevance of a paper to the conference.
