CRAWDAD is the Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At Dartmouth, a wireless network data resource for the research community. This archive has the capacity to store wireless trace data from many contributing locations, and staff to develop better tools for collecting, anonymizing, and analyzing the data. We work with community leaders to ensure that the archive meets the needs of the research community.
Please join us, either by contributing data, downloading data or tools, joining our mailing lists, or attending one of our workshops. Take a look at the world map of CRAWDAD users.
CRAWDAD is sponsored by the National Science Foundation under award number 0454062.
Recent News
UK CRAWDAD mirror site [May 6, 2008]
We are pleased to announce the launch of a European mirror web site:
http://uk.crawdad.org
This site is hosted by the University of St Andrews in the UK and provides a copy of the CRAWDAD data sets and tools. Hopefully this will provide faster download speeds for European CRAWDAD users.
We would like to add other mirror sites on different continents. If you are interested in hosting a mirror site, please get in touch.
New data set added [March 31, 2008]
We have added the following data set to the CRAWDAD archive:
- umich/virgil (v. 2008-03-28) War-walking data set collected in different cities in the United States for the field study and evaluation of an access point selection system.
The data set was used for the following paper:
Anthony J. Nicholson, Yatin Chawathe, Mike Y. Chen, Brian D. Noble, and David Wetherall. Improved access point selection. MobiSys 2006: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Mobile systems, applications and services, pages 233-245, New York, NY, USA, 2006. ACM Press.
Channel area wiki [January 31, 2008]
We are pleased to announce that we set up a wiki page for the Channel special-interest area:
http://www.crawdad.org/channel.php
The Channel special interest area is designed to encourage the contribution of radio channel and PHY-layer measurement data and data processing tools to the CRAWDAD repository, and to provide a centralized location within the repository for such wireless channel measurements. The Channel area will focus on channel measurement data sets which can be useful in measurement-based simulations or analysis of wireless network protocols, algorithms, security methods, and applications.
Dr. Neal Patwari is the Channel Area Editor for the CRAWDAD project. If you have any Channel/PHY-layer data sets (or tools to help process such data), we encourage you to contact Neal ( npatwari _AT_ ece.utah.edu ) to discuss contributing these to CRAWDAD.

Sigmetrics 2008
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~sigmet08
Date of event: June 2, 2008 until June 6, 2008
Submission deadline: November 2, 2007
The ACM SIGMETRICS conference solicits papers on the development and
application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation,
and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular
interest is work that furthers the state-of-the-art in performance
evaluation methods, or those that creatively apply previously developed
methods to understand or to gain important...

Date of event: June 17, 2008 until June 20, 2008
Submission deadline: December 3, 2007
Registration deadline: April 2, 2008
MobiSys 2008 seeks to present innovative and significant research on the design,
implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile computing and wireless systems,
applications, and services. This conference builds on the success of the previous four
MobiSys conferences. It is jointly sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and the USENIX
Association.
We seek papers that take a broad systems...
