The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) will be held on June 5-6, 2024 at the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain. In addition to the paper presentations and lightning talks, additional ns-3 events will be held on June 3-4, 2024 at the CTTC, as part of the overall ns-3 Annual Meeting.

WNS3 invites proposals for 1-hour or 2-hour tutorials on topics related to ns-3. Tutorials will be scheduled sometime between June 3-4 (scheduling to be worked out with the meeting organizers). Tutorial presenters are encouraged to attend in person, but virtual presentations are also acceptable if necessary.

We seek proposals for tutorials that can clearly present advanced topics related to ns-3, such as, for example, new models or functionalities for ns-3, best practices for simulations, use cases for ns-3, or integration with external tools. Tutorials with working code examples and with interactive elements will be particularly appreciated. Please see past editions of WNS3 for examples of past tutorials.

Proposal format

Each tutorial proposal should be written in English and must indicate the following:

  • Tutorial title
  • Names and affiliations of the tutorial speakers
  • Abstract (< 200 words)
  • Format: 1 hour or 2 hours
  • Venue: In person presentation or virtual (in person attendance is preferred)
  • Description: no more than 1 page describing the tutorial content

Submission instructions

Prospective speakers should submit tutorial proposals via email (subject “[WNS3] Tutorial proposal”), to both of the WNS3 PC chairs (p.imputato@gmail.com and tahiliani.nitk@gmail.com).

Acceptance Criteria
