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 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
