			Call for Papers

	Seventeenth Annual UK Performance Engineering Workshop
			July 18-19, 2001
		    University of Leeds, UK

		http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/ukpew01


SCOPE of WORKSHOP

UKPEW is the leading UK forum for the presentation of all
aspects of performance modelling and analysis of computer
and telecommunication systems. Original papers are invited
on all relevant topics but papers on or related to the
subjects listed below are particularly welcome.

   * Stochastic modelling of computer systems and networks.
   * Tools for all aspects of performance engineering from
     workload characterisation to operational analysis.
   * Modelling paradigms including, but not limited to:
     Stochastic Process Algebras, Stochastic Petri Nets and
     Queueing Theory.
   * Solution and simplification techniques for large
     Markov processes.
   * Formal notations for performance modelling.
   * Modelling and analysis of reliability and performance
     guarantees.
   * Performance-oriented design methods.
   * Novel techniques in computer system simulation.
   * Case studies and industrial reports.
   * Experience and evaluation of existing tools and
     techniques.


WORKSHOP FORMAT and VENUE

This workshop is the primary event at which the UK performance community
can get together to present and discuss their work. Whilst primarily
aimed
at UK based performance engineers, we also welcome contributions from
researchers working in other countries and those whose interest in
performance is derived from experience in other fields. It provides an
ideal opportunity for academics, industrialists and PhD students to
relate
experience and to present both finished work and work in progress. The
event has been organised to sustain the atmosphere of informality that
previous UKPEW's have fostered. As well as sessions for presenting the
papers submitted, it will also be possible to organise a session of
short
presentations of work in progress. Similarly, we will also be able to
organise tool demonstrations, on request; please contact a member of the
organising committee as early as possible with your requirements.

The workshop will take place in the University of Leeds. It will start
at
about 9am on Wednesday 18 July, and finish at roughly 4.30pm on Thursday
19 July; there will be a workshop dinner on the Wednesday night.

The accommodation will be provided on-site. The University of Leeds
itself
is situated within 10 minutes of the centre of Leeds. It provides
excellent accommodation with a choice of room facilities (details to
follow).


INFORMATION for AUTHORS

Papers will be accepted on the basis of an extended abstract (3-6 pages)
or draft paper (8-12 pages) which should be submitted to 
ukpew01@comp.leeds.ac.uk no later than 30 April 2001. Electronic
submission is preferred. Notification of acceptance will be given by 1st
June 2001 together with instructions for the preparation of
camera-ready copy.

The presented papers will be published in proceedings, which will be
available at the workshop for all delegates. The proceedings have an
ISBN
and will also be made available as an on-line publication of the School
of
Computing. In order for the proceedings to be ready in time, the
deadline
for the acceptance of complete papers complying with the camera-copy
instructions will be 25 June 2001.


REGISTRATION

The registration will include attendance for the two day workshop, a
copy
of the proceedings, buffet lunches on Wednesday and Thursday and
tea/coffee and biscuits in breaks between sessions (details to follow).


IMPORTANT DATES

   * Deadline for extended abstracts/draft papers: 30 April 2001
