              analytic, simulation and measurement-based performance
              evaluation techniques - 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.  Proposals relating to emerging,
              influential, tangential areas are appropriate for both
              Tutorials and Workshops. <br>

              handled by the main conference organizers.  Workshops are
              encouraged to seek sponsors from industrial contacts, but
