6th OMNeT++ Community Summit 2019

Hamburg University of Technology, Germany
– September 4-6, 2019 -

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

***** Submission Registration July 1, 2019 *****
=====================================================================

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 diverse
discrete event-based systems.

The OMNeT++ Community Summit is an open meeting with time and space
for tutorials, discussions, coding sessions as well as presentations
on recent developments and novel ideas in the broad area of modeling
and simulation, with a focus on the OMNeT++ simulation framework.
The OMNeT++ Summit unites users, developers, and researchers to
discuss applications, developments, and ideas on the topics of
integrating simulation models, coupling different simulation tools
and providing more accurate and more efficient modeling approaches
and simulation models.

To facilitate the interaction among participant, we introduce this
year a novel presentation format called ConversTation. It is a highly
interactive concept, which provides much more feedback and useful
discussion time than traditional talks. More information will be
provided to presenters and audience at a due time.

Following the success of 2018's edition, the 2019 Community Summit
will include a hackathon event. This provides the chance for
developers of simulation models and frameworks to consult OMNeT++
core developers and fellow developers, to improve the quality and
interoperability of models and frameworks.

The 2019 Summit also includes the possibility to submit scientific
contributions which will be reviewed by the TPC and (if accepted and
presented at the summit) be published in the indexed open access
journal EPiC Series in Computing (ISSN: 2398-7340) (pending
agreement). The copyright for all submission types is retained by the
authors.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design, evaluation, validation of simulation models
- Simulation credibility and validation
- Modeling techniques, including stochastic and hybrid modeling
- Comparison/integration with other simulation/emulation tools
- Parallel simulation and simulation control
- Integration of hardware-specific code
- Simulative approaches to performance evaluation
- Cross-layer protocol or system design methodologies
- Use of discrete event simulation in other domains
- Result interpretation and analysis
- 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:

(a) Scientific contributions (up to 8 pages) are full research
papers that describe ongoing work or finalized results. Full
papers that are reviewed and accepted by the TPC and presented
at the summit will appear in the summit proceedings that are
published in the indexed open access journal “EPiC Series in
Computing” (https://easychair.org/publications/EPiC/Computing;
* pending agreement *). The copyright for submissions is retained
by the authors.

(b) Short abstracts (up to 2 pages) provide overviews of a proposed
presentation or demonstration. Authors may find this format
suitable for design proposals, for preliminary or more narrowly
focused work, for case studies, or to highlight OMNeT++-related
results in work that has been published elsewhere.
Short abstracts will be invited as either a presentation, as a
demonstration, or a poster and will be published on the summit
website. The copyright for submissions is retained by the
authors.

(c) Proposals for tutorials, demonstrations, coding sessions,
discussion panels, and other interactive community activities
can be submitted via e-mail to the organizers
(omnetsummit2019@easychair.org).


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

All submissions will be checked by the organizers and scientific
submissions will be reviewed by the technical program committee.
Proposals for individual contributions will be invited depending
on the submission type and based on the expected interest for the
OMNeT++ community. We provide poster slots for all interested
participants.

Contributions should be prepared with the EasyChair EPiC Series
template. Detailed instructions are available on the summit
website: http://summit.omnetpp.org/2019/

The 2019 Community Summit is sponsored and free to attend by
everyone. Registration or publication fees will not be applied.
