SCOPE AND AIMS<br>
<br>
The 12th joint ACM SIGMETRICS / Performance conference
solicits <br>
proposals for Tutorials on Monday, 11 June 2012 and for
Workshops on <br>
Friday, 15 June 2012. If there is an excellent response, it
is <br>
possible for us to utilize Saturday, 16 June also, for
example for any <br>
planned full day events. The main conference will take
place over <br>
three days, 12-14 June 2012.<br>
<br>
We welcome proposals related to the development and
application of <br>
state-of-the-art, broadly applicable, analytic, simulation
and <br>
measurement-based performance evaluation techniques -
including <br>
considerations of speed and scalability as well as
reliability, <br>
availability, sustainability and manageability of systems.
We <br>
encourage both theoretical contributions and submissions
relating to <br>
real world empirical studies or focusing on implementation
and <br>
experimental issues. Proposals relating to emerging,
influential, <br>
tangential areas are appropriate for both Tutorials and
Workshops.<br>
<br>
WORKSHOPS: Send proposals of 1-2 pages to the General Chair </div>
