We encourage researchers world-wide to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance which have not been published elsewhere. The conference proceedings for MASCOTS 2009 will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

PAPERS

MASCOTS 2009 seeks original technical papers describing research in the areas of computer systems and network performance evaluation. The scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to:

Computer Architecture Distributed/Parallel Systems Computer Networks Heterogeneous Systems Industrial Practice and Experience Internetworking Protocols Multi-core Systems Multimedia Systems Performance Evaluation Methodologies Pervasive Web and Mobility Sensor Networks Software and Operating Systems Storage Systems Web-based Systems Wireless Networks

Submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size no less than 10 point. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. We will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in any other conference or journal. Accepted papers for MASCOTS 2009 will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society. Authors of highly-ranked papers may be invited to submit extended versions of their work to appropriate IEEE or ACM journals.

POSTERS Posters provide a forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent work, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. Material submitted as a full paper may also be submitted as a poster paper; if the full papers is accepted the poster will not be considered. Poster paper submissions may be up to two pages in length, excluding references, formatted as described in the submission page. Accepted poster papers will be allocated up to three pages in the conference proceedings.
