What is Guest editors' introduction: Special issue on modeling and simulation of cross-layer interactions in communication networks about?

Cross-layering represents an important emerging design approach to overcome limitations and lack of flexibility of the layering principle, which is the basis of today's communication networks. Indeed, in specific scenarios, such as Qualityof-Service provisioning and wireless networks, deeper integration and interaction among different layers is envisioned. Despite the widespread adoption of the general cross-layer design principle, not much attention has been placed on solid, quantitative, systematic study of the system behavior and interactions between different protocols at different layers. In fact, even though several cross-layering architectures are available in the literature, very few works address the problem of providing frameworks for modeling cross-layering interactions and support the proper definition of cross-layering solutions. Quantitative cross-layer formulations and models are still needed to provide effective guidelines on the impact of the design parameters in terms of overall system performance. Simulation-based methods represent indispensable tools to provide further insight in this direction given the analytical intractability of the complex cross-layer syste
