PERFORMANCE AND ARCHITECTURE OF WEB SERVERS (PAWS)

June 16-17, 2001, Cambridge, MA (Held in conjunction with ACM SIGMETRICS
2001)


Motivation:

   Following the successful PAWS'2000, we are continuing the workshop
this
   year with essentially the same   underlying motivation: the 
increasing
   sophistication   of  web  services  and  improvements   in  the
network
   infrastructure demand more emphasis on the architecture and
performance
   issues for Internet servers.

Areas of Interest:
   Architecture, O/S and Scalability Issues for Internet Servers
   Server Workload Characterization and Engineering
   Quality of Service and load management
   Issues in wireless web access
   Peer-to-Peer Computing
