10th EAI International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and 
Tools 
OCTOBER 26–28, 2016 | TAORMINA, ITALY 
http://valuetools.org/2016 


Scope 
ValueTools 2016 focuses on methodologies and practices in modeling, performance 
evaluation and optimization of complex systems. 
It gathers together researchers from different communities including Computer 
Science, Networks and Telecommunications, Operations Research, Optimization, 
Control Theory and Manufacturing. 
ValueTools 2016 solicits previously unpublished contributions that propose new 
performance evaluation methodologies and new tools. Three types of 
contributions are called for: regular papers, tool papers, and tutorials. 


Highlights 
- The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading 
community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the 
field of ICT. 
- Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: 
Thomson Scientific (ISI), Scopus, Crossref, Google Scholar, DBLP, Microsoft 
Academic Search (MAS), CiteSeerX, EBSCO, Elsevier (EI), as well as ICST's own 
EU Digital Library (EUDL). 
- All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings 
of the conference and submitted to ACM Digital Library. 


Conference topics 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

Application Areas 
- Communication & computer systems 
- Distributed systems 
- Cloud computing systems 
- Cloud and Edge/Fog computing systems 
- Machine Learning 
- Large-scale performance analysis 
- Interdisciplinary problems 
- Manufacturing systems & supply chains 
- Transportation systems 
- Internet of Things 
- Smart Cities and Communities 
- Software and Service Engineering 

Methodologies 
- Stochastic models 
- Model-checking 
- Process algebras 
- Queues and queueing networks 
- Discrete-event simulation 
- Mean-field techniques 
- Fluid approximations 
- Game theory 
- Petri Nets 
- Queueing Networks 
- Graphs 
- Combinatorial models 


Paper Submission 
ValueTools 2016 invites the following types of contributions: 

- Regular papers (8 pages) 
- Tool papers & presentations (6 pages) 
- Posters and Short Papers (4 pages) 
- Fast Abstracts (2 pages) 

Regular papers are ideal for presenting new evaluation methodologies and 
theoretical contributions. Tool papers should describe new tools or substantial 
improvements to existing tools. Fast abstracts are intended to give an 
opportunity to present work in progress, experience reports, wild ideas, or 
controversial opinions intended to promote discussion. 

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three expert reviewers and 
papers will be judged based on originality, correctness, clarity and relevance. 
Submitted papers must be original work, and may not be under consideration for 
another conference or journal. Paper submission implies agreement that at least 
one author will attend the conference and present the paper if accepted. 


Deadlines 
Paper submission deadline: July 22 
Fast abstracts submission deadline: July 22 
Workshop submission deadline: July 4 
Notification of acceptance: August 8 
Camera-ready deadline: September 9 
Conference: October 26–28
