SCOPE AND AIMS
<br>
<br>
The 12th joint ACM SIGMETRICS / Performance conference solicits
proposals for Tutorials on Monday, 11 June 2012 and for Workshops
on Friday, 15 June 2012. If there is an excellent response, it is
possible for us to utilize Saturday, 16 June also, for example for
any planned full day events. The main conference will take place
over three days, 12-14 June 2012.
<br>
<br>
We welcome proposals related to the development and application of
state-of-the-art, broadly applicable, 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>
<br>
WORKSHOPS: Send proposals of 1-2 pages 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, outline timetable including a
brief description of the topics in each session, potential invited
speaker(s), the intended audience, membership of the workshop
organizing committee, and intended arrangements for publication of
the proceedings. Technical management of the workshops will be
autonomous but the fees and registration will be handled by the
main conference organizers. Workshops are encouraged to seek
sponsors from industrial contacts, but this will in no way
influence the selection of a proposal.
<br>
<br>
<br>
TUTORIALS: Send proposals of 1-2 pages for 90-minute or 3-hour
tutorials to the Tutorial Chair (<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:sigmeperf12-tutorial-chair@imperial.ac.uk">sigmeperf12-tutorial-chair@imperial.ac.uk</a>).
Include the proposed title, brief description of material,
intended audience, assumed background of attendees, and the name,
affiliation, contact information (email and phone) and brief
biography of the speaker(s). Tutorial overviews will be published
in the main conference proceedings.
