CALL FOR PAPERS
MMB 2006 - www.mmb2006.org
13th GI/ITG Conference on Measurement, Modeling, and Evaluation of
Computer and Communication Systems
Nuernberg, Germany, March 27-29, 2006
=====================================================================
SUBMISSION SITE NOW OPEN
Submissions may now be uploaded at the MMB website. The deadline for
MMB paper submission is October 1, 2005.
=====================================================================
OVERVIEW
The MMB is the main forum in Germany covering all aspects of
performance evaluation of systems including networks, computer
architectures, distributed systems, software, workflow and logistics
systems. After its inception in 1981, we celebrate the 25th anniversary
of this conference series. The MMB 2006 will start with a half day of
tutorials from scientific and industrial experts and is accompanied by
two workshops in parallel tracks allowing for an exchange of ideas
between different but related research communities. The associated
workshops are:
ITG FA 6.2 Workshop on Model-Based Testing
GI/ITG Workshop on Non-Functional Properties of Embedded Systems
Model-Based Testing is connected with performance evaluation by the
use of similar models and by the similarity between quality-of-service
testing and performance measurements. Non-Functional Properties of
Embedded Systems refer to performance, dependability, security, and
real-time as well as energy efficiency and costs of such systems which
are increasingly heterogeneous and networked.
MMB SCOPE & TOPICS
- Quantitative Evaluation of Systems
Performance, Dependability, Security, Survivability, Real-Time,
Economic and Related Aspects, etc.

Queueing Systems, Stochastic Petri Nets, Simulation Languages,
Stochastic Process Algebras and Stochastic Extensions of the UML
- Analysis Techniques
Markov Chains, Non-Markovian Models, Fluid Models, etc.
- Simulation Techniques
Rare Events, Variance Reduction, Parallel/Distributed Simulation
- Combination of Stochastic Modeling and Formal Methods
- Computer and Software Architectures
- Workflow and Logistic Systems, Traffic and Transportation Systems
- Traffic Engineering, Network Planning and Optimization
- Access and Backbone Networks, Mobile/Wireless/Optical Networks,

- Network Economics, Accounting, Tariffing
- Peer-to-Peer Networks, Networked Embedded Systems, Adaptive
and Self-Organizing Systems, Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing,
Sensor Networks
- Tools supporting all Techniques
- Case Studies in all Application Fields
SUBMISSIONS
Contributions reporting on research results on topics of the MMB and
the associated workshops are solicited. Articles and presentations
in English are preferred.
MMB FULL CONFERENCE PAPERS:
Submitted papers should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages. Please
follow the instructions for electronic submission given on the
conference homepage. Papers must be unpublished and must not be
submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be thoroughly
reviewed by at least three referees on the basis of their
originality and their scientific and practical contribution to the
state-of-the-art. Accepted papers appear in the conference
proceedings; a best paper award will be provided.
DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM:
PhD students are invited to present their work-in-progress and
preliminary results to stimulate discussions about it. Thesis
position papers (10 double-spaced pages) must contain unpublished
material and must have a single author without PhD. Accepted
submissions will be presented during the colloquium and will be
published in the conference proceedings. Grants are available on
demand to cover travelling costs partially.
WORKSHOP PAPERS:
Please follow the instructions in the calls for papers of the
workshops. Workshop papers will appear in technical reports.
TOOL DESCRIPTIONS:
Special sessions will be arranged to present and demonstrate tools
relevant to any topic covered by the MMB and the workshops. Please
send a tool description (up to four pages) to the tools chair.
Accepted tool descriptions will be limited to two pages and will
appear in the proceedings.
TUTORIAL PROPOSALS:
Tutorials will be held in the morning of March 27 preceding the
conference. Please send tutorial proposals to the conference chair.
