IMPORTANT DATES <br>
<br>
* Abstract Registration: November 4, 2011 - 11:59pm GMT (hard,
required) <br>
* Paper Submission: November 11, 2011 - 11:59pm GMT (hard, no
extensions) <br>
* Notification of Decision: February 9, 2012 <br>
<br>
SCOPE AND AIMS <br>
<br>
The 12th joint ACM SIGMETRICS / Performance conference
solicits papers on the development and application of
state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation and
measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of
particular interest is work that presents new performance
evaluation methods or that creatively applies previously
developed methods to make predictions about, or gain insights
into key design trade-offs in, computer and networked systems.
The main conference will last three days, 12-14 June 2012, and
have two keynote speakers. A day of tutorials and a day of
workshops will precede and follow the main conference. <br>
<br>
The notion of performance is broadly construed - including
considerations of speed and scalability as well as
reliability, availability, sustainability and manageability of
systems. We encourage both theoretical contributions and
submissions relating to real world empirical studies or
focusing on implementation and experimental issues. <br>
<br>
Quantitative design and evaluation studies of <br>
<br>
* Computer and communication networks, protocols and
algorithms <br>
* Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks <br>
* Computer architectures, multi-core processors, memory
systems and storage networks <br>
* Operating systems, file systems and databases <br>
* Virtualization and data centers <br>
* Distributed and cloud computing <br>
* Social networks, multimedia systems, service-oriented
architectures, and Web services <br>
* Energy-efficient computing systems <br>
* Real-time and fault-tolerant systems <br>
* Mobile and personal computing systems <br>
* Security systems and network attacks <br>
* Large-scale operational systems <br>
* Software systems and enterprise applications <br>
* Emerging technologies <br>
<br>
Methodologies, formalisms, solution techniques and algorithms
for <br>
<br>
* Performance, scalability, power, and reliability analysis
<br>
* Sustainability analysis and power management <br>
* Capacity planning, resource allocation, run-time
management and scheduling <br>
* Anomaly detection <br>
* Analytical modeling techniques and model validation <br>
* System measurement, monitoring and forecasting <br>
* Workload characterization and benchmarking <br>
* Quality of service, total cost of ownership and pricing <br>
* Experimental design, statistical analysis, simulation <br>
<br>
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES <br>
<br>
PAPERS: <br>
Papers should not exceed 12 double column pages, including
figures and tables in standard ACM format. In addition, a
2-page appendix is permitted, where the appendix does not
count towards the original 12 pages. All submissions will be
reviewed using a double-blind review process. Additional
submission details will be published shortly on the conference
Web site. <br>
<br>
WORKSHOPS: <br>
Workshop proposals are solicited for the day following the
main conference, June 15, 2012. Send 1-2 page proposals to the
General Chair (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:sigmeperf12-general-chair@imperial.ac.uk">sigmeperf12-general-chair@imperial.ac.uk</a>).
Please include the proposed title, brief description of
topics, intended audience, and membership of the workshop
organizing committee. <br>
<br>
TUTORIALS: <br>
Tutorial submissions will be considered for presentation the
day immediately preceding the main conference, June 11, 2012.
Send proposals of no more than 1-2 pages for 90-minute or
3-hour tutorials to the Tutorial Chair (<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
