Call For Papers

2002 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems SPECTS 2002

July 14-19, 2002 U. S. Grant Hotel San Diego, California, USA

http://www.scs.org/confernc/spects02/spects2002cfp-gen.html

This annual international conference is a forum for professionals involved in performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Evaluation of computer systems and networks is needed at every stage in the life cycle of the product including design, manufacturing, sales/purchase, use, upgrade, tuning, etc. The discipline of performance evaluation has progressed rapidly in the past decade, and it has now begun to approach maturity. Significant progress has been made in analytic modeling, simulation, and measurement approaches for performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Networking and Telecommunication Systems - Internet Technology - Quality of Service (QoS) - DiffServ/IntServ - TCP - Unicast and Multicast Routing - High-Speed Networking - ATM - Optical Networks - Switching Techniques - Teletraffic - Satellite Systems and Networks - Wireless Systems - UMTS/IMT-2000 - Mobile Networks/Computing - Multimedia Systems - Multimedia Communications - Adaptive Communications - Network Protocols - Network Management and Control - Network Capacity Planning - Network Architecture Evaluation - Service and QoS Pricing - Security and Authentication - World Wide Web (WWW) Technology - Electronic Commerce

Computer Systems - Client/Server - Microprocessors/Microcomputers - Memory Systems - Interconnection Networks - Software Performance - Software Evaluation and Testing - Hardware and Software Monitors - High-Performance Computing - Workload and Traffic Characterization - Scientific Computing Algorithms - High Performance I/O - Reconfigurable Computing -Real-time Systems - Parallel and Distributed Computing - Distributed Systems and Agents - Massively Parallel Systems - Cluster Computing - Parallel Algorithms and Languages - Scheduling Schemes

Tools, Methodologies and Applications - Parallel and Distributed Simulation - Verification and Validation - Performance Tools and Methodologies - Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applications to High Performance Computing/Networking - Performance Optimization - Queueing Systems and Networks - Scalability Studies - Integrated Modeling and Measurement - On-Line Performance Adaptation and Tuning - Process Algebra-Based Models - Performance Bounds - Integrated Design and Performance - New Performance Models - Mathematical Aspects of Performance - New Performability Schemes and Models - Case Studies
