Scope:

  Wireless ad hoc, sensor, along with ubiquitous networks have recently
  witnessed their fastest growth period ever in history, and this trend
  is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. However, as such
  networks become increasingly complex, performance modeling and
  evaluation will play a crucial part in their design process to ensure
  their successful deployment and exploitation in practice.

  This workshop brings together scientists, engineers, and
  practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss
  challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on
  all aspects of wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks with
  a specific emphasis on their performance evaluation and analysis.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Probabilistic or predictive performance models and analysis of ad
   hoc, sensor, pervasive and ubiquitous networks
- RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
- Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
- Mobility modeling and management
- Analytical modeling
- Simulation methods
- Tracing and trace analysis
- Performance measurement, monitoring and evaluation tools for ad hoc,
   sensor and ubiquitous networks
- Software tools for automatic network performance and evaluation
- Network performance improvements by optimization algorithms
- Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks
- Wireless mesh networks
- Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the
   design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks

Paper Submission:

  High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be
  unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All
  papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and
  other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance
  to the conference. Accepted papers will appear on the workshop
  proceedings that will be published by ACM press.

  At least one of the authors of accepted papers must attend the
  conference to present his paper.

  Paper should be submitted on PE-WASUN web site:
  http://ares.insa-lyon.fr/pe-wasun06/authors.html. Paper length should
  be no mo re than 10 pages, double column, ACM style including tables
  and figures. A template for ACM SIG Proceedings style (LaTeX2e and MS
  Word) ca n be found at
  http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Only Postscript
  and PDF formats are accepted.

  A special issue will be planned in a scholarly journal to include
  selected high-quality papers from the workshop.
