** 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

- Security systems

- Social networks, multimedia systems and smart

grid

** 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.
