                           Call for Papers

             ******SIGMETRICS 2004/ Performance 2004 ******

                 Joint International Conference on
            Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems
        Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS and  IFIP Working Group 7.3
                  June 12-16th, 2004, New York, NY
                http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~sigm2004/


The joint SIGMETRICS/Performance conference 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 furthers the
state-of-the-art in performance evaluation methods, or combines
analytic and experimental methods to evaluate design trade-offs in real
systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of communication
  networks, Internet servers, computer architectures, database
  systems, operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems,
  mobile and handheld systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems,
  real-time systems, and dependable systems, including case studies
  and performance-evaluation tools.

- Performance methodology techniques, algorithms, and tools for
  analytic modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model
  verification and validation, workload characterization, simulation,
  statistical analysis, stochastic modeling including queues,
  stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, model checking,
  experimental design, reliability and availability analysis, power
  analysis, performance optimizations, and hybrid models.

Submission Guidelines
=====================

- Papers: Detailed submission guidelines are available at the
  conference web site.

- Hot Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for a hot topic session,
  in which a group of speakers will present and discuss their recent
  results in an area. Send proposals to the program chairs,
  identifying the organizer of the session, the session title, three
  to five speakers, the titles of their talks, and a short abstract of
  each talk.

- Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the main
  conference. Send proposals of no more than 1 or 2 pages (for
  90-minute or 3-hour tutorials) to the tutorials chair. Include the
  proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience,
  assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation, contact
  information (e-mail and phone), and brief biography of speaker(s).
  Postscript or PDF is preferred.
