   techniques. Topics of interest include but are not limited to
   analytical, numerical and simulative evaluation techniques and tools;
   performance, dependability and performability evaluation; measurements
   and benchmarking techniques and tools; tools and modeling frameworks;
   traffic characterisation; applications in communications, real-time
   and embedded systems, and computer architecture, as well as in
   emerging areas such as Internet, WWW, wireless systems, computer
