CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM SIGMETRICS 2005 International Conference on Measurement & Modeling of Computer Systems
June 6-10, 2005, Banff, Canada
http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~sigm2005
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 insights into key design trade-offs in complex computer/communication systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of: communication networks, Internet servers, computer architectures, database systems, operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems, real-time systems, and fault-tolerant systems.
* Performance methodology techniques and algorithms for: analytic modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model verification and validation, workload characterization, simulation, statistical analysis, stochastic modeling including queues and Petri nets, experimental design, reliability analysis, performance optimization, and hybrid models.
Submission Guidelines
Papers: Papers should not exceed 12 pages double column including figures and tables in standard ACM format. Please refer to the format link. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable postscript or pdf form; for detailed submission instructions, refer to the Registration page. All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors' names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.
Hot Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for a hot topic session, in which a group of speakers will present and discuss their recent results in an area. Send proposals to the program chairs, identifying the organizer of the session, the session title, three to five speakers, the titles of their talks, and a short abstract of each talk.
Workshops: One or more workshops will immediately precede the conference. Send proposals of no more than 1-2 pages to the general chairs. Include the proposed title, brief description of topics, intended audience, and membership of workshop organizing committee. Postscript or pdf is preferred.
Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the conference. Send proposals of no more than 1-2 pages for 90 minute or 3 hours tutorials to the tutorial chairs. Include the proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience, assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation,contact information (email & phone) and brief biography of speaker(s). Postscript or pdf is preferred.
Important Dates
October 22, 2004: Abstract registration. October 29, 2004: Paper, tutorial, workshops and hot topic proposal submission. January 28, 2005: Notification of acceptance.
