--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers ACM SIGMETRICS 2013 -- International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems June 17-21, 2013 Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA http://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2013/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM SIGMETRICS 2013 solicits papers on the development and application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular interest is work that presents new performance evaluation methods or that creatively applies previously developed methods to make predictions about, or gain insights into key design trade-offs in, computer and networked systems. The main conference will be held from June 18-20, 2013. There will be workshops and tutorials on June 17, 2013. There will also be workshops on June 21, 2013. Submission details will be published shortly on this Web site. A rebuttal process will be piloted this year to provide authors with the opportunity to clarify misunderstandings perceived in the first round reviews. The notion of performance is broadly construed – including considerations of speed and scalability as well as reliability, availability, sustainability and manageability of systems. We encourage both theoretical contributions and also submissions relating to real world empirical studies or focusing on implementation and experimental issues. Quantitative design and evaluation studies of: * Computer and communication networks, protocols and algorithms * Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc and sensor networks * Computer architectures, multi-core processors, memory systems and storage networks * Operating systems, file systems and databases * Virtualization and data centers * Distributed and cloud computing * Energy-efficient computing systems * Real-time and fault-tolerant systems * Mobile and personal computing systems * Large-scale operational systems * Software systems and enterprise applications * Smart power grids * Social networks, multimedia systems, service-oriented architectures and Web services * Emerging technologies Methodologies, formalisms, solution techniques and algorithms for: * Performance, scalability, power and reliability analysis * Sustainability analysis and power management * Capacity planning, resource allocation, run time management and scheduling * Anomaly detection * Analytical modeling techniques and model validation * System measurement, monitoring and forecasting * Workload characterization and benchmarking * Quality of service, total cost of ownership and pricing * Experimental design, statistical analysis, simulation * Performance-oriented applications of game theory, economics, machine learning, control theory, and signal processing ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Mor Harchol-Balter, Carnegie Mellon University PC Co-Chairs: John Douceur, Microsoft Research Jun Xu, Georgia Institute of Technology Workshop Chair: Cathy Xia, The Ohio State University Tutorials Chair: Eno Thereska, Microsoft Research Publicity Co-Chairs: Jia Wang, AT&T Labs - Research Marc Lelarge, INRIA Finance Chair: Alma Riska, EMC Corporation Student Activity Chair: Urtzi Ayesta, CNRS Publications Chair: Ton Dieker, Georgia Institute of Technology Registrations Chair: Patrick Loiseau, Eurecom Local Arrangements Chair: Nicole Stenger, Carnegie Mellon University Webmaster: Anshul Gandhi, Carnegie Mellon University IMPORTANT DATES Abstracts due: November 2, 2012 (11:59PM EDT) Full papers due: November 9, 2012 (11:59PM EST) First-round reviews available: December 26, 2012 Rebuttals to reviews: January 4, 2013 (11:59PM EST) Notification: February 11, 2013 ---- [[ Petri Nets World: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/ ]] [[ Mailing list FAQ: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/pnml/faq.html ]] [[ Post messages/summary of replies: ]] [[ [email protected] ]]
