FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
8th International Conference on
ANALYTICAL and STOCHASTIC MODELLING TECHNIQUES
( ASMT'2001 )
Prague (Czech Republic), June 6-9, 2001
Conference is organized by SCS
(The Society for Computer Simulation International)
as a part of the
15th European Simulation Multiconference
Prague, Czech Republic
June 6-9, 2001
URL: http://hobbes.rug.ac.be/~scs/conf/esm2001/
MOTIVATION:
This Conference is a continuation of series of Conferences in
Analytical, Numerical and Stochastic Modeling Techniques held as
a part of European Simulation Conferences.
Taking into account the complexity of real models of complex
technical and information systems, methods of stochastic modelling
based on analytical and approximate results for Markov and
semi-Markov stochastic processes, queueing networks, Petri nets,
etc. have recently become increasingly popular.
In many fields of applications involving performance and
reliability modelling of discrete flow systems, such as computer
systems, high speed communication networks, flexible manufacturing
systems and workflow management systems, it has been widely
recognized that analytical and approximate approaches in stochastic
modeling can successfully complement simulation methods.
There are still many important and interesting problems to be
resolved such as those involving stochastic Petri nets and queueing
networks with complex structure, multiple job classes under various
blocking mechanisms and synchronization constrains, problems of
self-organization in neuron networks, etc. In these and many other
models methods based on analytical or approximate analytical
results are in general more preferable comparatively to methods
of direct stochastic simulation, because in general they save the
time of computation and give possibility to obtain analytical
dependencies of parameters.
Contributions based on analytical, stochastic and approximate
methods in modelling as well as applications are encouraged but
not restricted to the following topics:
Topics:
* Techniques and Algorithms:
- Stochastic Models, Markov Models
- Stochastic Petri Net Models
- Queueing Systems and Network Models
- Neuron Networks
- Reliability and Maintenance Models
- Stochastic Optimal Control and Optimization
- Performance Modeling
- Stochastic Process Algebras
- Stochastic Precedence Graphs
- Stochastic Simulation
- Analytical and Numerical Simulation
* Evaluation Studies of:
- Computer Systems and Information Networks
- Workflow Management Systems
- Communication Systems (LANs and Distributed
Systems, ATM Switches, Mobile Radio,)
- Workload Modelling and Characterization
- Operating Systems
- Client-Server Systems
- Multimedia Systems
- Measurements and Hybrid Techniques
- Software Performance
* Software Tools
