****** SPECTS 2005 - CALL FOR PAPERS *****

International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECT)

Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International

July 2005 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA http://www.scs.org/summersim/spects

** SCOPE **

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.
