Abstract submission:  Nov 23 2015

Conference:           June 14-18 2016

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:

The joint ACM SIGMETRICS / IFIP 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 presents
new performance evaluation methods or that creatively applies
previously developed methods to make predictions about, or gain
insights into key design trade-offs in, computer and networked
systems. The main conference will be held from June 15-17, 2016. There
will be tutorials and workshops on June 14 and June 18, 2016.
Submission details will be published shortly on this Web site.  All
accepted regular papers will include oral (short or long time slot,
single track) presentations. A limited number of submitted papers will
be accepted for a poster session.

The notion of performance is broadly construed, including
considerations of speed and scalability as well as reliability,
availability, and manageability of systems. We particularly encourage
submissions including real world empirical studies and focusing on
implementation and experimental issues. Topics of interests include,
but are not limited to:

Quantitative design and evaluation studies of:

* Computer and communication networks, protocols and algorithms
*
Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc and sensor networks
* Computer architectures, multi-core processors, memory systems and storage networks
* Operating systems, file systems and databases
* Virtualization, data centers, distributed and cloud computing
* Social networks, multimedia systems, service-oriented architectures and Web services
* Energy-efficient computing systems
* Real-time and fault-tolerant systems
* Mobile and personal computing systems
* Large-scale operational systems
* Software systems and enterprise applications
* Smart power grids
* Data processing
* Emerging technologies

Methodologies, formalisms, solution techniques and algorithms for:

* Performance, scalability, power and reliability analysis
* Sustainability analysis and power management
* Capacity planning, resource allocation, run time management and scheduling
* Anomaly detection, system measurement, monitoring and
forecasting
* Analytical modeling techniques and model validation
* Workload characterization and benchmarking
* Quality of service, total cost of ownership and pricing
* Experimental design, statistical analysis, simulation
* Performance-oriented applications of game theory, economics and control theory
* Big data, machine learning and signal processing

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should not exceed 12 pages double column including figures,
tables, and references in standard ACM format. In addition, a 2-page
appendix is permitted, where the appendix does not count towards the
original 12 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically in
printable pdf form. Templates for the standard ACM format can be found
at this link:

http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Both strict and alternate styles
are acceptable for submission. No
changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those
specified by the style files. Papers violating the formatting
guidelines will be returned without review.

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. Accepted papers
will appear in the conference proceedings published on ACM Performance
Evaluation Review.

Warning: It is ACM policy not to allow double submissions, where the
same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal
concurrently.  Any double submissions detected will be immediately
rejected from all conferences/journals involved.
