ACM MSWiM 2016TUTORIALSThe 19th ACM MSWiM Conference includes the following tutorials: Title: "Performance Evaluation of IEEE 802.11-based Multihop Wireless Networks: From modeling to experimentations" Topic and description: This tutorial is devoted to the performance evaluation of multihop wireless networks based on IEEE 802.11. The goal is to discuss the different possible approaches for evaluating this kind of networks and the main pitfalls that must be avoided. The tutorial is divided in three parts. The first one concerns the modeling of IEEE 802.11-based multihop wireless networks, specifically when the network size is limited. The challenge is to design a simple model while being realistic enough. A hierarchical model will be presented. The second part concerns the simulation of IEEE 802.11-based multihop wireless networks. The main shortcomings to avoid will be discussed. The third part concerns the experimental evaluation of these networks. We will discuss the tools that can be developed to evaluate parameters useful to experimentations of multihop wireless networks of limited size.

Title: "Virtualization and Network Slicing Solutions in 5G Wireless Networks"
Topic and description:
Network virtualization has led to significant benefits in terms of infrastructure and operational costs for 5G network design but, at the same time, it has brought significant technical challenges. On the one hand, the network virtualization paradigm revolutionizes the networking perspective by abstracting and separating logical network behaviors from the underlying physical network resources. This significantly impacts on the reduction of the operations expenditures which, in turn, drive the network operators to foster the programmability and automation of network facilities in order to enable the evolution of a wider range of business services. On the other hand, the separation and creation of a network of virtualized functions, which are flexibly deployed into the network, gives rise to technical issues that must be technologically faced.
