Application deadline for potential participants.

Applications should consist of a brief CV and a statement to assert the experience with simulation and the interest in modeling computer networks.

Notification of the selected participants as well as publication of the topics and the detailed agenda.

Announcement and discussion of topics (by mail and CMS)

• The participants mention their preferences. Formation of groups of authors for the planned chapters of the seminar volume.

First meeting (1-2 days) with short introduction of the participants and first discussion of the topics at RWTH Aachen University.

• The participants group themselves to groups of authors for the planned chapters of the seminar volume. A first coordination of the groups takes place.
• We also plan to invite renowned scientists from related areas in computer science to half-day tutorials. They should present proven modeling techniques and practices from their research area. As a result, the participants should get a comprehensive overview of related techniques.

Deadline for state-of-the-art sections of the specific chapters on simulation techniques and models, e.g. different protocol models, propagation models, traffic generators, topology generators and their specific models, mobility models, etc.

GI Research Seminar at Schloss Dagstuhl

Presentation and discussion of the individual topics and chapters. Afterwards, discussion and a creative meeting in each case, in order to discuss the above mentioned questions in the group (in particular requirements and characteristics to a uniform simulation framework).

Extension and revision of the chapters based on the discussions during the GI Research Seminar.

... combined with a Peer-review-phase to guarantee the high-quality of the Seminar Volume.

Final review phase and the delivery to the publisher (Springer).
