   CALL FOR PAPERS

   This annual International conference is a forum for professionals
   involved in the performance evaluation of computer and
   telecommunication systems. Performance evaluation of computer systems
   and networks has progressed rapidly in the past decade and has begun
   to approach maturity. Significant progress has been made in analytic
   modeling, simulation and measurement approaches for performance
   evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Topics of
   interest are organized by three categories:

   * Networking and Telecommunication Systems
   * Computer Systems
   * Tools, Methodologies, and Applications

   For a complete list, please visit [3]http://atc.udg.edu/SPECTS2013/

   ## Extended Versions of Selected Accepted Papers in SPECTS 2013 will
      be considered for Possible Publication in Scholarly Journals.

   ## Accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library

   * NEW * Work-in-Progress Track:  WiP session will be devoted to the
   presentation of new and on-going research into Performance Evaluation
   of Computer and Telecommunication Systems. We are especially
   interested
   in new and creative ideas and approaches. The primary purpose of this
   session is to provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss their
   evolving ideas and gather feedback from professionals involved in
   performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems.
   WiP papers should be limited to 6 pages. Authors interested in this
   track should label their papers with a "work in progress track" under
   the paper title. Please use the regular submission procedure.
