Call For Papers

2003 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems SPECTS 2003

July 20-24, 2003 Montreal, Canada

http://www.scs.org/confernc/spects03/spects2003cfp-gen.html

Or:

http://mobile.cse.fau.edu/conference

This annual international conference is a forum for professionals involved in performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Evaluation of computer systems and networks is needed at every stage in the life cycle of the product including design, manufacturing, sales/purchase, use, upgrade, tuning, etc. The discipline of performance

evaluation has progressed rapidly in the past decade, and it has now 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 include, but are not limited to:

Networking and Telecommunication Systems - Internet Technology - Quality of Service (QoS) - DiffServ/IntServ - MPLS - TCP - World Wide Web (WWW) Technology - Networking Techniques - Unicast and Multicast Routing - Congestion Control - Switching Techniques - Teletraffic - Network Protocols - Network Management and Control - Network Capacity Planning - Network Architecture Evaluation - Service and QoS Pricing - Security and Authentication -Broadband Networks - High-Speed Networking - ATM - Optical Networks - Wireless Systems and Networks - Satellite Systems - UMTS - Mobile Networks/Computing - Ad-hoc networks - Multimedia Communications
