Preliminary Call for Papers
1985 ACM SIGMETRICS Conference on
Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems
Late August 1985 (exact date to be announced)
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 per-
formance in the broadest way, papers spanning the spectrum
from the performance 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 modeling techniques addressing sig-
nificant 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 purpose * Reliability modeling
parallel processors
* Scheduling and resource * Database systems modeling
allocation
* Computer communication * Software performance
networks modeling
* Comparative studies of * Exact and approximate
architectural and solution algorithms for
programming features queueing networks
* Parallel and vector simulation
techniques
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
identification should appear only in a separate cover
letter; all papers will be refereed blind. Proceedings will
be published as a special issue of Performance Evaluation
Review, the SIGMETRICS quarterly journal. Papers of excep-
tional merit will also be submitted to a refereed journal
for possible publication.
General Chairman: Herb Schwetman (MCC)
Program Chairmen: Jeffrey Brumfield (University of Texas)
