Call for Position Papers Systems Evaluation and Assessment Technology 1991 Workshop August 20-22, 1991 Naval Surface Warfare Center 10901 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, Maryland 20903-5000 This is a call for position papers to be presented at the 1991 Systems Evaluation and Assessment Technology Workshop which will be held August 20-22, 1991 at Naval Surface Warfare Center in Silver Spring, Maryland. This workshop is sponsored by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NAVSWC) and the Office of Naval Technology (ONT). This workshop will explore issues related to the evaluation and assessment of complex, computer based mission critical computer systems. Many DoD related systems tend to be large, complex, fault tolerant, distributed, real-time critical systems. Of interest is the development and enhancement of the system level ability to model, simulate, execute, prototype, test and implement such systems for parallel and distributed architectures. The emphasis is on research and technology development, however case studies and applications will also be addressed. Submitted papers should attempt to focus on one of the areas listed below: System Modeling Technology: - System modeling for performance, reliability, security trade-off analysis; - Steady state, transient, and dynamic analysis of the system models; - Developing strategies for effective utilization of distributed architecture; Pseudo-Measurement Technology: - Optimization of the model configuration for prototyping; - Effective metrics for design process guidance; - Identification and isolation of the critical portions of a design for effective prototype development; - Decomposition and recomposition strategies; Non-Invasive Instrumentation: - Instrumentation techniques for performance/behavior analysis and prediction - Instrumentation techniques for massively parallel and distributed systems Please enclose (5) copies of the position papers, maximum of 5 pages for each position paper, along with a cover letter with the author's name(s), abstract title, area of interest, and the name, address, FAX, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available) of the author who is responsible for all correspondence and preparation for the workshop. The accepted position papers will be published as a Proceedings, which will be distributed within the Government and also made available to the general public.
