Call for Papers
******SIGMETRICS 2004/ Performance 2004 ******
Joint International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS and IFIP Working Group 7.3 June 12-16th, 2004, New York, NY http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~sigm2004/
The joint SIGMETRICS/Performance 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 combines analytic and experimental methods to evaluate design trade-offs in real 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, mobile and handheld systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems, real-time systems, and dependable systems, including case studies and performance-evaluation tools.
- Performance methodology techniques, algorithms, and tools for analytic modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model verification and validation, workload characterization, simulation, statistical analysis, stochastic modeling including queues, stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, model checking, experimental design, reliability and availability analysis, power analysis, performance optimizations, and hybrid models.
Submission Guidelines =====================
- Papers: Papers must not exceed 12 pages, using 9-point or larger fonts, in double-column format. Detailed submission guidelines are available at the conference web site.
- 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.
- Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the main conference. Send proposals of no more than 1 or 2 pages (for 90-minute or 3-hour tutorials) to the tutorials chair. Include the proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience, assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation, contact information (e-mail and phone), and brief biography of speaker(s). Postscript or PDF is preferred.
Important Dates: ================
November 2, 2003: Paper title, abstract, and author affiliations due. November 7, 2003: Full papers, tutorials, and hot topic proposals due (HARD deadline, no extensions) January 29, 2004: Notification of acceptance
