Following the recent announcement of QNET2000
(http://dcsun3.comp.brad.ac.uk/Events) for the same dates as UKPEW, we
have agreed to move UKPEW from 20/21st July to 24/25th July.  All other
dates remain unchanged.  Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Sixteenth Annual UK Performance Engineering Workshop - UKPEW 2000

University of Durham, UK
July 24-25 2000

http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dcs0nat/UKPEW2000/


SCOPE of WORKSHOP
==================
UKPEW is the leading UK forum for the presentation of all aspects of
performance modelling and analysis of computer and telecommunication
systems. Original papers are invited on all relevant topics but papers
on or related to the subjects listed below are particularly welcome.

* Stochastic modelling of computer systems and networks.
* Tools for all aspects of performance engineering from workload
characterisation to operational analysis.
* Modelling paradigms including, but not limited to: Stochastic Process
Algebras, Stochastic Petri Nets and Queueing Theory.
* Solution and simplification techniques for large Markov processes.
* Formal notations for performance modelling.
* Modelling and analysis of reliability and performance guarantees.
* Performance-oriented design methods.
* Novel techniques in computer system simulation.
* Case studies and industrial reports.
* Experience and evaluation of existing tools and techniques.

IMPORTANT DATES
================
Deadline for extended abstracts/draft papers: 1st May
Notification of acceptance: 1st June
Camera-ready copy deadline: 26th June

  The Performance bulletin board is a moderated distribution list sponsored by
    ACM SIGMETRICS. It is intended for the exchange of technical information
   among members of the performance evaluation community.  Typical submissions
   include performance-related questions and announcements of research papers,
        software, job opportunities, conferences, and calls for papers.      

              Send submissions to performance@haven.epm.ornl.gov
