<p class="sub">Scope</p>

<p>
The Network Simulation Tools Workshop (NSTools) is a one-day event held
in conjunction with the Second International Conference on Performance
Evaluation Methodologies and Tools
(<a href="http://www.valuetools.org/">VALUETOOLS'07</a>), which will be
held in Nantes, France, on October 22, 2007.
<br /><br />
Simulation tools are widely used within the Networking community to
simulate packet-switched networks and perform a large number of wildly
different tasks: they are often used in the industry and within both
academic and educational settings to design and evaluate new and existing
protocols and architectures.
<br /><br />
The aim of the Network Simulation Tools workshop is thus 
to bring together academic and industry researchers from 
both the Networking and the Simulation communities to discuss
current and future trends in network simulation and to
foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area.
<br /><br />
All accepted papers will be made available in <b>Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM) Digital Library</b>.
