The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) will be held as a fully virtual event, starting on June 22, 2022 and tentatively planned for two days. Additional events will be planned during the same week, including advanced tutorials on topics related to ns-3.

WNS3 invites proposals for 1-hour or 2-hour tutorials on advanced topics related to ns-3. The tutorials, to be presented through an online session, scheduled to take place during the week starting June 20 (most likely Monday, Tuesday and/or Friday). Tutorials will be open to the ns-3 community at large.

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 that will tailored to be delivered in an online environment, with working code examples, and with interactive elements will be particularly appreciated.
