2006 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems SPECTS 2006 http://www.scs.org/summersim/spects

July 31 – August 2, 2006

The Coast Plaza Hotel and Conference Center, Calgary, Canada This annual international conference is a forum for professionals involved in 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 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 Admission and Control Switching Techniques Tele-traffic 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 Sensor Networks • Multimedia Communications and Applications

Computer Systems • Distributed Architectures Client/Server Distributed Systems and Agents Parallel and Distributed Computing Massively Parallel Systems Cluster Computing Grid Computing Interconnection Networks • Computer Architectures Microprocessors/Microcomputers Memory Systems High Performance I/O Real-time Systems Scheduling Schemes • Software Software Performance, Evaluation, and Testing Parallel Algorithms and Languages • Electronic Commerce • Hardware and Software Monitors • High-Performance Computing • Information Assurance • Reconfigurable Computing • Scientific Computing Algorithms • Workload and Traffic Characterization

Tools, Methodologies, and Applications

• Parallel and Distributed Simulation • Verification and Validation • Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applications • Performance Optimization, Bounds, and Models • Queuing Systems and Networks • Scalability Studies • Integrated Modeling and Measurement • On-Line Performance Adaptation and Tuning • Process Algebra-Based Models • Mathematical Aspects and Integrated Design of Performance • Case Studies
