*++++* TEMACS 2009 *++++* 1st International Workshop on Traffic Engineering, Modelling, Analysis, Control and Simulation (TEMACS’09) held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2009, http://www.simutools.org Rome, Italy, March 2-3, 2009 http://www.temacs.org - temacs@gmail.com ++ Sponsored by ICST ++ In technical cooperation with CREATE-NET ++ Paper submission deadline: December 16, 2008 ++ The aim of this workshop is to unite all network researchers, traffic engineers and experts in order to develop traffic models, simulation techniques and algorithms to determine the current and future traffic patterns towards the improvement of Quality of Service (QoS) of the future network. The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions. -- TOPICS -- o Traffic modelling o Traffic engineering architectures o Traffic characterization o Traffic analysis techniques o Simulation techniques o Traffic synthesis o Traffic engineering with protocols and devices o Traffic management and control o Congestion control o Traffic control algorithms o Bandwidth management o Traffic performance evaluation o Traffic Shaping o Distributed traffic o Grid-based traffic o QoS traffic in wired and wireless networks -- SUBMISSION -- We solicit submission of manuscripts that present original research results, not previously published nor currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Authors are invited to submit PDF versions of full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through the COCUS conference management system: http://www.cocus.eu (instructions available on the website). All submitted papers will go through a rigorous peer review process. All accepted papers will be made available in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library (approval pending). Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered to be Book chapters or Journal articles in a renowned journal. -- SPONSORSHIP -- The event is organized in cooperation with Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (ICST) and technically co-sponsored by Center for REsearch And Telecommunication Experimentation for NETworked communities (CREATE-NET). -- IMPORTANT DATES -- Manuscript Submission Due: December 16, 2008 Acceptance Notification: Jan 10, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Jan 30, 2009 (FIRM) Workshop Date: March 2, 2009 -- WORKSHOP ORGANISER -- Karim Mohammed Rezaul, BSc.
