Performance evaluation is fundamental to understanding the behavior of computer systems and networks. This joint meeting of the ACM SIGMETRICS and IFIP W.G. 7.3 will serve as a forum for work on all aspects of this topic - both state-of-the-art theoretical work and applications. New techniques, extensions to existing techniques, and practical original case studies are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Understanding the behavior and evaluating the performance of: o Communications networks o Fast packet switching o Memory systems o Computer system achitecture o Fault-tolerant systems o Operating systems o Database and transaction o File and I/O systems o Parallel systems processing systems o Interconnection networks o Real-time systems o Distributed systems o Scientific computers Theoretical work in: Techniques for: o Stochastic models of computer systems, o Workload characterization e.g., queueing networks, stochastic o System measurement ordering o Experimental design of o Simulation and statistical analysis performance studies o Performance optimization o Model verification and validation o Reliability analysis o Network and systems performance/ reliability management Paper publication is very competitive; usually less than 25% of submissions are accepted. All papers will be refereed by members of the program committee who are most familiar with the topic and by outside referees. A limited number of submitted papers will be accepted for a poster session. Authors wishing to have their work considered for only the poster session may submit extended abstracts. Extended abstracts of the poster sessions will be included in the proceedings. We are also soliciting proposals for 1.5-hour and 4-hour tutorials on June 1 and 2. For more information contact either the Program Co-Chairs or the Tutorial Chair. Full paper submissions should not exceed 20 doubled-spaced pages; extended abstracts for poster sessions should be 3-5 pages. Six copies of the full papers and extended abstracts are required. Author identification, including affiliation, address, phone number, and electronic mail address should appear on a separate cover sheet and NOT within the paper itself. Tutorial proposals should be 1-2 pages and may be submitted electronically.
