                        CALL FOR PAPERS

Fifth International Conference on Modelling Techniques and Tools
            for Computer Performance Evaluation

    TURIN, Italy, February 13-15, 1991 (***note new dates!!!***)

Authors are invited to submit papers describing recent and original
developments on techniques, tools, and applications in the area of
performance modelling of computer and network systems.  Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

  - advances in MODELLING TECHNIQUES for the solution of large scale
    or complex models: local and long distance networks, parallel
    systems, and hardware architectures

  - efficient COMPUTATIONAL and NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES for the exact or
    approximate solution of queueing network models, Markovian models,
    and Petri net models

  - STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES and TOOLS for simulation output analysis,
    experiment planning, and performance measurement

  - exploitation of EXPERT SYSTEM techniques in the area of system
    modelling, configuration, and monitoring

  - MODELLING TOOLS providing support for the modelling process and
    integration within system design environments

  - experiences in WORKLOAD CHARACTERIZATION for databases, distributed
    systems, parallel systems, and artificial intelligence applications
 
  - CASE STUDIES in the area of system design evaluation, performance
    management, and capacity planning
