                      CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                    MMB 2006 - www.mmb2006.org

13th GI/ITG Conference on Measurement, Modeling and Evaluation of
                Computer and Communication Systems

(in German: Messung, Modellierung und Bewertung von Rechensystemen)

              Nuernberg, Germany, March 27-29, 2006


                            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. Two associated workshops in parallel tracks
allow for an exchange of ideas between different but related research
communities:

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.

Tutorials will be held in the morning of March 27 preceding the
conference. Special sessions will be arranged to present and
demonstrate tools relevant to topics covered by the MMB and workshops.
