Call for Papers
1985 ACM Sigmetrics Conference on
Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems
August 26-29, 1985
Austin, Texas
This conference is a forum for presenting state-of-the-art work
in both practical and theoretical aspects of computer systems
performance. Because the conference interprets performance in
the broadest way, papers spanning the spectrum from the perfor-
mance of single chips to computer networks are solicited.
Appropriate subjects include case studies yielding insight about
the evaluation methodology or the system under study, new model-
ing techniques addressing significant problem areas, and the use
of performance modeling in the design of hardware and software
systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* General and special pur- * Reliability modeling
pose parallel processors
* Database systems modeling
* Scheduling and resource
allocation in multiproces- * Software performance
sor or distributed systems engineering
* Computer communication * Exact and approximate
networks (local area and solution algorithms for
long distance) queueing systems
* Comparative studies of * Parallel and vector simu-
architectural or program- lation techniques
ming features
By February 4, 1985, six copies of each submission must reach the
program co-chairman:
Daniel A. Reed
Department of Computer Science
1304 West Springfield Avenue
University of Illinois
Urbana, Illinois 61801
Papers should be no longer than 5000 words. Author identifica-
tion should appear only in a separate cover letter; all papers
will be refereed blind. Proceedings will be published as a spe-
cial issue of Performance Evaluation Review, the SIGMETRICS quar-
terly journal. Papers of exceptional merit will also be submit-
ted to a refereed journal for possible publication.
