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.
The 2018 edition of the Community Summit will include a hackathon for the first time in the history of OMNeT++-related events. The hackathon gives developers of simulation models and frameworks the opportunity to propose hackathon working topics and projects and to consult and team-up with the OMNeT++ core developer team at the hackathon.
The 2018 Summit also reintroduces 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). The copyright for all submission types is retained by the authors.
Submission Guidelines
We invite researchers and users alike to submit one or more of the following contribution types:
- 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. The submission copyright is retained by the authors.
- 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 and included in the Zenodo digital repository of the OMNeT++ Community Summit. The copyright for submissions is retained by the authors.
- Proposals for hackathon projects can be submitted via e-mail to the organizers. Exemplary topics are listed on the website.
- Proposals for tutorials, demonstrations, coding sessions, discussion panels, and other interactive community summit activities can be submitted via e-mail to the organizers.
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 (e.g., on Github) 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 (use the letter format and the [EPiC] mode for LaTeX). Detailed instructions are available on the summit website: http://summit.omnetpp.org/2018/
The 2018 Community Summit is sponsored and free to attend by everyone. Registration or publication fees will not be applied.
