*CALL FOR CHAPTERS* ** *Simulation in Computer Network Design and Modeling: Use and Analysis* Editor *Hussein Al-Bahadili* *The Arab Academy for Banking & Financial Sciences, Jordan, ** hbahadili@gmail.com* <hbahadili@gmail.com>* * Publisher *IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), **www.igi-global.com*<http://www.igi-global.com/> ** * * *Call for Chapters: * Proposals submission deadline: *June 30, 2010** **August 15, 2010 (Exteded Deadline)* Full chapters submission deadline: *October 30, 2010* *Introduction* Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in *Simulation in Computer Network Design and Modeling: Use and Analysis*. This book will publish original material concerned with all aspects of simulation on computer network design, modeling, analysis, management, security, and performance evaluation. The primary mission of the book is to be influential in the improvement and development of the theory and practice of computer network design and modeling, appealing to academics, researchers, and professionals. In the information technology age and with tremendous advancement in computer and communication technologies, computer networks have become an integral part of many organizations. It is our further aim to provide enough examples to educate organizations on how they can benefit from simulation to design, evaluate the performance, and manage these valuable resources. Computer simulation is widely-used in investigating the performance of existing and proposed computer networks designs, protocols, algorithms, models, etc. The application of computer simulation can potentially improve the quality and effectiveness of the network design and modeling. It is generally unfeasible to implement a computer network design, protocol, algorithm, or model before valid tests are performed to evaluate their performance. It is clear that testing and evaluating such implementations with real hardware is quite hard, in terms of the manpower, time, and other resources. The preferred alternative is to model these algorithms in a detailed simulator and then perform various scenarios to measure their performance for various patterns of realistic computer networks environments (e.g., connection media, node densities, node mobility, transmission range, size of traffic, etc.). The main challenge to simulation is to model the process as close as possible to reality; otherwise it could produce entirely different performance characteristics from the ones discovered during actual use. In addition, the simulation study must be repeatable, unbiased, r ealistic, statistically sound, and cost-effective. * * *Objectives of the Book* The main objectives of this book is to: present state-of-the-art methodologies in computer networks simulation and modeling; illustrate the benefits of simulation in computer networks design, modeling, and analysis; Identify the main issues that face efficient and effective computer network simulation; demonstrate by example how the performance of computer networks can be evaluated; provide cutting edge research on the simulation and modeling of computer networks; present the trends in computer networks simulation and modeling; discuss the main features of current simulation languages; point-out the main trends in simulation languages and tools; introduce the most popular academic and professional computer networks simulators; and finally provide a complete compilation of the problems which arise during the use of simulation in computer network design and modeling, and the solutions which are applied to them. *Recommended Topics* Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: · Simulations techniques · Simulation in design and modeling of - Wireless PANs, LANs, MANs, WANs - Access point and mobile ad hoc networks - Wireless intelligent networks - Mesh networks - Wireless network algorithms and protocols - Integrated wired/wireless systems - Wireless multimedia systems - QoS provisioning in wireless and mobile networks - Security and privacy of mobile/wireless systems - Algorithms and protocols for energy-efficiency and power control - Cellular networks · Computer networks simulators · Formal simulation and analysis of wireless systems · Simulation languages and tools for wireless systems · Mobility modeling and simulation · RF channel modeling, simulation, and analysis for different types of wireless networks · Models and protocols for cognitive radio networks · Capacity, coverage, and connectivity modeling and analysis · Model and protocols for next generation networking · Performance evaluation of computer networks · Performance and resource management of computer networks · Performance and management of wireless multimedia systems · Performance and Management of broadband wireless management · Resource allocation in computer and cellular networks · Traffic measurement and analysis (wireless TCP, etc.) · Wireless security management · Interoperability and performance of heterogeneous wireless networks of different standards · Correctness, survivability and reliability evaluation * * *Target Audience* The intended audience includes academics, researchers, post-graduate students, developers, professionals, network designers, network analysts, telecommunication system designers, technology specialists, practitioners, and people who are interested in using simulation in computer network design and modeling.
