SCOPE

The area of communication networks has become increasingly diverse over the past decade. This diversity has been driven by a wide range of application scenarios including for example sensor networks, mobile networks, ad hoc networks, and various application layer networks. A great deal of current research focuses on the networking aspect of interacting computer systems, moving beyond problems of isolated point-to-point communications. Many of todayÕs and future networking systems are large scale in computer end systems and users; some are closely coupled to the spatial environment of their deployment; some may be dense, and their operation may often be required to be self-organized. Operational principles of these computer-networking systems may exhibit great similarity with systems found in other sciences, at least at an appropriate level of abstraction. The features listed above naturally suggest using models and techniques that are standard in other sciences to evaluate and understand the performance of existing communication systems and also to drive design of new ones.
This workshop aims to bring together interdisciplinary approaches for performance evaluation and design of computer & communication systems. It is envisaged that these approaches may include insights and techniques from, for example, biological systems, economics, epidemiology, physics, and the social sciences. The workshop will provide a forum of researchers and practitioners from diverse areas to present their contributions applicable to performance evaluation and design of computer & communication systems.
