The fifth PMCCS workshop will be held at the
Friedrich-Alexander-University
Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, and will continue the tradition of
previous
meetings.
SCOPE
The workshop focuses on the theory, techniques, and tools for
integrated
performance and dependability modeling, along with their application
to the
design and evaluation of computer and communication systems. 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.
PMCCS 5 WILL BE HELD IN HONOR OF JOHN F. MEYER
PMCCS 5 will be held in honor of John F. Meyer, who will be retiring
next
year from his position as Professor of Electrical Engineering and
Computer
Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. John
was
the originator of the concept of "performability" as described in his
seminal 1978 Fault Tolerant Computing Symposium paper. To honor John,
several presentations will be organized to discuss the achievements
and
future prospects of performability research. A banquet, on Saturday
night,
will also be given in his honor. For more information regarding these
special events, contact William H. Sanders (mailto:whs@crhc.uiuc.edu).
CONNECTION TO OTHER EVENTS
PMCCS 5 will be held in geographical and temporal connection with the
2001
Aachen International Multiconference on Measurement, Modelling, and
Evaluation of Computer-Communication Systems including PNPM 2001, MMB
2001,
and PAPM/ProbmiV 2001 organized at RWTH Aachen, Germany, from
September 11
to 14, 2001. The multiconference in Aachen will end Friday early
afternoon.
It is possible to travel from Aachen to Erlangen on Friday afternoon
by
plane (from the airports of Cologne or Duesseldorf to the airport of
Nuremberg), train, or car. The sessions of PMCCS 5 will start on
Saturday
morning.
LOCATION
Located in Middle Franconia, Erlangen is home to the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg. Erlangen has 101.000 inhabitants and offers a
Baroque
style city. Nearby is also Nuremberg with its historical city and
"Franconian Switzerland", which has its own store of castles, caves,
and
nature reserves. The three cities Nuremberg, Fürth, and Erlangen form
an
area of 1,8 million inhabitants with significant industries in
engineering
and information technology. The University is deeply rooted in
classical
humanist education, is the second largest in Bavaria, and has a large
Engineering Faculty. The Institute of Computer Science has a focus on
the
performance and dependability of computer and communication systems.
TRAVEL INFORMATION
The international airport of Nuremberg is in 15 Km distance and
connected
to Erlangen with public transportation. Railway stations are in
Erlangen
and Nuremberg. Two highways (Autobahn A 3, Autobahn A 73) lead to
Erlangen.
PAPERS
No full papers will be required, with the aim of stimulating a free
exchange
of new ideas and recent results. Extended abstracts of up to 4 pages
are
solicited from prospective speakers. The program co-chairs will check
whether the work is within the scope of the workshop. Accepted
abstracts
appear in the Technical Report Series of the Institute of Computer
Science
of Friedrich-Alexander-University and will be distributed to all
attendees.
PAPER SUBMISSION
The default process for submitting extended abstracts is the
ELECTRONIC
submission of postscript or PDF files via e-mail. The workshop e-mail
address is:
mailto:PMCCS5@webspn.hit.bme.hu
DATES
Submission deadline for extended abstracts is May 28, 2001
Authors notifications will be sent out June 20, 2001
Camera ready versions of accepted abstracts are due at July 15, 2001
The workshop takes place from 15th to 16th of September 2001.
