3rd OMNeT++ Community Summit

The third OMNeT++ Community Summit will be held at the Faculty of Information Technology of the Brno University of Technology (FIT-BUT) in the Czech Republic on Thursday and Friday, September 15-16, 2016.

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 discrete event systems, but the primary application area is the simulation of communication networks.

In continuation of the history of the International Workshop on OMNeT++ and two very successfull editions of its reincarnation, the OMNeT++ Community Summit, we continue on the path of holding a yearly, open meeting for all members of the OMNeT++ community with less costs and more interaction between the participants. The Community Summit provides a forum for tutorials, discussion sessions and presentations on recent developments and novel ideas in the area of network simulation and modeling, with a focus on the OMNeT++ simulation environment.

The second Summit in Zurich was a huge success with over 55 on-site participants, two keynotes, two tutorials, several panel discussions, posters, demonstrations, and around 14 presentations of ongoing and finalized research covering many aspects of OMNeT++-related research. The 2016 event continues to expand the idea of a community summit by explicitly addressing the interaction through tutorials and panels with additional discussion slots while keeping the extended 2-day time frame of the 2015 summit.
