** UPDATE: PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENSION **
Due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak and in
response to the numerous requests received, the
IFIP WG 7.3 PERFORMANCE 2020 conference organizers
have decided to extend the deadline to submit
papers for the Congress. The new deadline for
papers submission is now May 24, 2020 Anywhere on
Earth.
** IMPORTANT DATES **
Abstract submission: May 17th, 2020
Full paper submission: May 24th, 2020
Notification to authors: July 19th, 2020
** UPDATE: COVID-19 **
IFIP WG 7.3 PERFORMANCE 2020 conference organizers
have the safety and health of our community as a
top priority. We are continuously monitoring the
COVID-19 situation from local authorities and the
World Health Organization. The conference is
six-month away, and we hope that COVID-19
emergency will pass over and the conference will
be held in November, as planned. However, if
necessary, alternative solutions, such as
postponement and remote presentations will be
adopted. In any case, timely publication of the
papers at journal special issues as indicated
below is confirmed. More information will be
provided to authors and attendees after the due
date of acceptance notification.
** UPDATE: SPECIAL ISSUES **
Regular papers will be published in a special
issue of the Elsevier journal Performance
Evaluation (PEVA). Alternatively, authors may
opt-out in favor of submission to other special
issues in journals related to Performance
Evaluation, Operations Research and Applied
Probability.
Special Issues will appear in:
- ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance
Evaluation of Computing Systems (TOMPECS),
https://dl.acm.org/journal/tompecs
- Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications
(QUESTA), https://www.springer.com/journal/11134
- Stochastic Models,
https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/lstm20/current

** UPDATE: TUTORIALS **
The following tutorials have also been announced:
- Reliability and Availability Modeling in
Practice, by
Prof. Kishor Trivedi (Duke University, North
Carolina, USA) and
Prof. Andrea Bobbio (Università del Piemonte
Orientale, Italy)

Technology, Leoben, Austria)
** CONFERENCE TOPICS **
The IFIP Performance conference aims to bring
together researchers interested in understanding
and improving the performance of computing and
communication systems by means of state-of-the-art
quantitative models and solution techniques.
Research papers on the design of algorithms,
mathematical analysis and modeling, simulation and
measurement techniques for computer systems or
communication networks are solicited.
Topics of interest include the following.
Performance-oriented methodologies including:
- Stochastic modelling, statistical analysis and
simulation
- Capacity planning, resource allocation, routing,
scheduling and
Quality of Service
- Energy-efficient computing and networking
- Computer architectures and operating systems
- Network architectures, protocols and congestion
control
- Storage systems and datacenters
Evaluation techniques, and algorithms for:
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Blockchains and crypto-currency
- Cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, fog
computing
- Data centers, content delivery, cloud computing
and virtualization
- Internet and web services
- Network economics and markets

** IMPORTANT DATES **
Abstract submission: May 17th, 2020
Full paper submission: May 24th, 2020
Notification to authors: July 19th, 2020
** PAPER SUBMISSION **
Performance 2020 accepts submissions in two
categories:
- Regular papers: 12 pages
- Short papers: 6 pages
Regular papers should not exceed 12 pages
double-column and single-spaced including figures,
tables and references in standard ACM format.
Short papers are limited to 6 pages. In addition
(both for regular and short paper submissions), a
2-page appendix is permitted, which is not
included in the page-count. Papers must be
submitted electronically in printable pdf form.
Templates for the standard ACM format can be found
at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-
template.
Papers must follow the ACM format. Authors should
use the "sigconf" proceedings template. No changes
to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed
from those specified by the style files. Papers
violating the formatting guidelines will be
returned without review.
Authors of rejected Sigmetrics 2020 papers are
invited to submit a revised version of their
paper, which would then be reviewed again as new
by at least one of its Sigmetrics reviewers to aid
consistency. The authors are allowed to include a
response to the Sigmetrics reviews in a
clearly-marked appendix that will not count
against the page limit.
Papers can be submitted at
https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=
3dlDq9ce6SdbKRGnNTIXxI#
All submissions will be reviewed using a
double-blind review process. The identity of
authors and referees will not be revealed to each
other. To ensure double-blind reviewing, authors
names and affiliations should not appear in the
paper and bibliographic references should be made
in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.
Warning: It is ACM policy not to allow double
submissions, where the same paper is submitted to
more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any
double submissions detected will be rejected
immediately from all conferences/journals
involved.
Accepted short papers (limited to 6 pages) and
abstracts of accepted regular papers will be
published in a special issue of the ACM
Performance Evaluation Review (PER).
** SPECIAL ISSUES **
Regular papers will be published in a special
issue of the Elsevier journal Performance
Evaluation (PEVA).
Alternatively, authors may opt-out in favor of
submission to other special issues in journals
related to Performance Evaluation, Operations
Research and Applied Probability.
Eligible papers are:
- extensions of short-papers and
- long papers that opt-out of publication in
Performance Evaluation (PEVA).
Authors need to make sure that their work falls
within the scope of the respective journal.
All the papers will be
reviewed according to the standards of the
journal.
Special Issues will appear in:
1. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance
Evaluation of Computing Systems (TOMPECS).
The editors will invite the authors of a few
papers (short or long) to submit a full-length
manuscript. Prepare your manuscript using the
same manuscript preparation guidelines as the ones
for regular TOMPECS submissions.
2. Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications
(QUESTA)
All conference papers (short and long papers that
opt-out of PEVA) may submit to the SI. The
conference version of the paper published in PER
should be no more than 6 pages. Accepted full
papers that opt out of PEVA will have to be
shortened by the authors if they wish to have
their paper submitted to Queueing Systems.
Prepare your manuscript using the same manuscript
preparation guidelines as the ones for regular
QUESTA submissions.
3. Stochastic Models
The conference version of the paper published in
PER should be no more than 6 pages. Accepted full
papers that opt out of PEVA will have to be
shortened by the authors if they wish to have
their paper submitted to Stochastic Models.
Prepare your manuscript using the same manuscript
preparation guidelines as the ones for regular
Stochastic Models submissions.
4. Stochastic Systems
The conference version of the paper published in
PER should be no more than 6 pages. Accepted full
papers that opt out of PEVA will have to be
shortened by the authors if they wish to have
their paper submitted to Stochastic Systems.
Prepare your manuscript using the same manuscript
preparation guidelines as the ones for regular
Stochastic Systems submissions.
