Performance 2002
IFIP WG 7.3 International Symposium on Computer Performance Modeling, Measurement and Evaluation
September 22 - 27, 2002 Rome, Italy
Call for Papers
The Performance2002 conference solicits superior papers on the development and application of state-of-the-art analytic, simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular interest this year is work that derives new methodologies or creatively applies existing methods to model, design, evaluate, and optimize performance trade-offs/issues in areas such as: Internet and Web performance, content distribution networks, network and server quality of service (QoS), active networks, and security. Papers that advance the state-of-the-art in formal evaluation methods or that creatively apply evaluation methods to computer/communication system design trade-offs/issues are also solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
* Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of: Internet servers, Web architectures, communication networks, computer architectures, database systems, operating systems, Web server software, distributed systems, multimedia systems, mobile and wireless systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems, real-time systems, and fault-tolerant systems.
* Techniques and algorithms for: analytic modeling, performance optimization, queueing analysis, stochastic modeling, model verification and validation, power analysis, hybrid models, experimental design, system measurement and monitoring, reliability analysis, workload characterization, simulation, and statistical analysis.
Program
Paper/Poster Sessions: Full papers should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages including figures, tables and references. A limited number of submitted papers will be accepted for a poster session. Authors wishing to have their work considered for the poster session may submit a short paper not exceeding 5 double-spaced pages. Submissions must be made electronically as Postscript or Adobe PDF files through the Conference Web site (http://perf2002.uniroma2.it). In case of problems, send papers by email to papers@perf2002.uniroma2.it. Papers will be selected on the basis of their originality, relevance and clarity.
Full papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal Performance Evaluation (Elsevier) available at the conference.
Tutorial Sessions: Tutorial proposals, not exceeding 5 pages, have to include title, abstract, duration, intended audience, assumed background of attendees, name, affiliation and a biographical sketch of the instructors. Proposals should be sent to tutorials@perf2002.uniroma2.it. Evaluation of proposals will be based on instructor expertise, and on the relevance of the subject matter. A book of survey papers on the tutorial topics will be published. Publisher is under negotiation.
Hot/Controversial Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for sessions in which a group of speakers will present and discuss ideas on recent results in a hot or controversial area. Send proposals for these sessions to proposals@perf2002.uniroma2.it, specifying the name, affiliation and a brief biography of organizer(s) of the session, the session title, and a list of possible speakers. The submission should also indicate whether any published material is required for the session.
Awards: The Scientific Committee will assign the "Best Paper" and the "Best Student Paper" awards. Papers eligible for the student award must have a full-time student as the first author.
IMPORTANT DATES: Submission of full papers and Proposals for special sessions: March 24, 2002 Notification of acceptance: May 25, 2002 Camera-Ready papers: June 20, 2002
