CALL FOR STUDENT POSTERS

The IFIP PERFORMANCE 2013 conference solicits student posters on the design of algorithms, mathematical modeling, simulation and measurement techniques for computer systems or communication networks. The student posters will be presented during a poster session during the conference. Thus, students may discuss their research and get valuable feedback on their work from experts in the field. Poster abstracts will be included in a book of abstracts. The topics of interest include the following:

Methodologically-oriented design and evaluation studies of: * Network architectures, protocols and algorithms * Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, sensor and cellular networks * Data centers, cloud computing and virtualization * Computer architectures, memory systems and storage systems * Energy-efficient computing and networking * Security systems, Internet servers, multimedia systems and Web services * Social networks, smart grid and sensing infrastructure

Methodologies, evaluation techniques, and algorithms for: * Capacity planning, resource allocation, routing, scheduling and Quality of Service * System measurement and monitoring * Stochastic analysis, statistical analysis and simulation * Large scale data collection, management and processing

POSTER ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Poster abstracts should be submitted in form of a two-page extended abstract (PDF), single-spaced, double column following the ACM format. The book of abstract will be made available during the conference. Detailed submission instructions will appear at the conference website.

REVIEW PROCESS

All poster abstracts will be reviewed by at least two experts (different to paper submissions, a single-blind reviewing process is used). Posters will be selected based on their originality and novelty, relevance, and technical standards. Submissions must be made electronically. Details will be provided in the conference website.

IMPORTANT DATES

Poster abstract submission: June 28, 2013 Notification of acceptance: July 12, 2013 Camera ready poster abstracts due: July 26, 2013

STUDENT POSTER SESSION

Accepted posters will be discussed during the student poster session of PERFORMANCE 2013. Stands will be provided while the posters should be prepared by the authors/presenters.
