SCOPE The workshop focuses on the theory, techniques, and tools for integrated performance and dependability modeling, along with their application to the design and evaluation of computer and communication systems. According to the traditions of the PMCCS series the workshop will be characterized by open and intense discussions on various topics in performability modeling and analysis, based on recent work of the participants. PMCCS 5 WILL BE HELD IN HONOR OF JOHN F. MEYER PMCCS 5 will be held in honor of John F. Meyer, who will be retiring next year from his position as Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. John was the originator of the concept of "performability" as described in his seminal 1978 Fault Tolerant Computing Symposium paper. To honor John, several presentations will be organized to discuss the achievements and future prospects of performability research. A banquet, on Saturday night, will also be given in his honor. For more information regarding these special events, contact William H. Sanders (e-mail: whs@crhc.uiuc.edu). CONNECTION TO OTHER EVENTS PMCCS 5 will be held in geographical and temporal connection with the 2001 Aachen International Multiconference on Measurement, Modelling, and Evaluation of Computer-Communication Systems including PNPM 2001, MMB 2001, and PAPM/ProbmiV 2001 organized at RWTH Aachen, Germany, from September 11 to 14, 2001. The multiconference in Aachen will end Friday early afternoon. It is possible to travel from Aachen to Erlangen on Friday afternoon by plane (from the airports of Cologne or Düsseldorf to the airport of Nuremberg), train, or car. The sessions of PMCCS 5 will start on Saturday morning. It is thus possible to attend both events. LOCATION Located in Middle Franconia, Erlangen is home to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Erlangen has 101.000 inhabitants and offers a Baroque style city. Nearby is also Nuremberg with its historical city and "Franconian Switzerland", which has its own store of castles, caves, and nature reserves. The three cities Nuremberg, Fürth, and Erlangen form an area of 1,8 million inhabitants with significant industries in engineering and information technology. The University is deeply rooted in classical humanist education, is the second largest in Bavaria, and has a large Engineering Faculty. The Institute of Computer Science has a focus on the performance and dependability of computer and communication systems. TRAVEL INFORMATION The international airport of Nuremberg is in 15 Km distance and connected to Erlangen with public transportation. Railway stations are in Erlangen and Nuremberg. Two highways (Autobahn A 3, Autobahn A 73) lead to Erlangen. More detailed information will be provided later. PAPERS No full papers will be required, with the aim of stimulating a free exchange of new ideas and recent results. Extended abstracts of up to 4 pages are solicited from prospective speakers. The program co-chairs will check whether the work is within the scope of the workshop. Accepted abstracts appear in the Technical Report Series of the Institute of Computer Science of Friedrich-Alexander-University and will be distributed to all attendees.
