3rd OMNeT++ Community Summit 2016

Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

***** Abstract Submission Deadline: July 10, 2016 *****
=====================================================================

OMNeT++ is a public-source, component-based, modular and
open-architecture simulation environment with strong GUI support and
an embeddable simulation kernel. It is designed to simulate discrete
event systems, but the primary application area is the simulation of
communication networks and systems.

The OMNeT++ Community Summit is the successor of the International
Workshop on OMNeT++. After two very successful summits in Hamburg and
Zurich, we continue on the path of holding an open community meeting
with space for tutorials, discussions and coding sessions as well as
presentations on recent developments and novel ideas in the broad
area of network simulation and modeling, with a focus on the OMNeT++
simulation framework.

The community summit brings together users, developers and researchers
to discuss developments, applications and ideas on the important
topics of integrating simulation models, coupling different simulation
tools and providing more accurate and more efficient modeling
approaches and simulation models.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Design, evaluation, validation of simulation models
- Comparison with other simulation / emulation tools
- Parallel simulation and simulation control
- Integration of hardware-specific code
- Simulative approaches to performance evaluation
- Cross-layer protocol design methodologies
- Simulation credibility and validation
- Use of discrete event simulation in other domains
- Integration with other simulation tools
- Result interpretation and analysis
- Modeling techniques, including stochastic and hybrid modeling
- Simulation in the loop
- Industrial applications and practical use cases

-----------------------------
SUBMISSION and PARTICIPATION
-----------------------------
We invite researchers and users alike to submit one or more of the
following contribution types:

- Abstracts (max. 4 pages) targeting ongoing and finalized
research questions, introducing novel simulation techniques or
new simulation models, and addressing questions of accurate
and efficient simulation modeling.
- Proposals for tutorials or demonstrations on existing or new
simulation models or frameworks, modeling techniques, OMNeT++
functionalities, and case studies.
- Poster abstracts, describing topics that shall be presented
during the interactive poster session.

All submissions should be of interest to the OMNeT++ community. We
welcome case studies that employ OMNeT++ in the evaluation of new
systems as well as contributions addressing general questions of
simulation using OMNeT++. For model-centric submissions we ask the
author(s) to publicize source code at the time of submission.

Submissions will be checked by the technical program committee and
the organizers. Individual contributions will be invited to be
presented as oral presentations, demos, tutorials or panels,
depending on the submission type and their expected interest for
the OMNeT++ community. We will provide poster presentation slots
during an interactive session for all interested participants.

Proposals for coding sessions, discussion panels and other
interactive community activities can be announced individually to
the summit organizers via email.

Submissions should be prepared in the IEEE conference proceedings
format. Detailed instructions, together with format files, are
available on the website: https://summit.omnetpp.org/2016/

Submissions that are accepted and presented at the summit will appear
in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a technical
report via arXiv and the OMNeT++ website. Copyrights will remain
solely with the authors. This allows for a publication of revised
versions at other venues.

The OMNeT++ Community Summit is sponsored and free to attend for
everyone. Registration fees will not be applied.
