CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AT PMCCS-7
The 7th International Workshop on Performability Modeling
of Computer and Communication Systems
PMCCS-7: http://www.di.unito.it/~horvath/PMCCS
PMCCS series: http://www.pmccs.net
Torino, Italy
September 23-24, 2005
GENERAL
PMCCS-7 will be hosted at Villa Gualino in Torino, Italy. The
workshop is a satellite event of the 2nd International Conference on the
Quantitative Evaluation of Systems (QEST) 2005 (http://www.qest.org/).
The registration for PMCCS is administered by QEST 2005 and can be
completed at the QEST 2005 website.
SCOPE & TOPICS
The workshop aims to bring together academic and industrial
researchers in the area of integrated performance and dependability
modeling, with emphasis on bridging theory and practice. Theoretical
work as well as application-oriented work is welcome. Case studies
and industrial applications of performability modeling and evaluation
are solicited in the field of computer and communication systems as
well as in related fields, like flexible manufacturing systems,
product-in-process software development, medical systems,
transportation systems, and complex infrastructures.
According to the traditions of the PMCCS series, the workshop will be
characterized by open and intense discussions on various topics in
performability modeling and analysis, based on recent work of the
participants.
This year PMCCS organizes SPECIAL TRACKS to emphasize the following
areas (naturally, submissions are not limited to these topics):
- performability issues of power-limited devices
- performability management of autonomic and self-managed systems
