CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on
Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of Parallel and 
Distributed Systems (PMEO-PDS'02)

To be held in conjunction with IPDPS'2002 (sponsored by IEEE Computer
Society and ACM SIGARCH)
April 15-19, 2002, Marriott Marina, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

SCOPE:
The performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of parallel and
distributed systems have been an important research topic over the past
years and poses challenging problems that require new tools and methods
to keep up with the rapid evolution and increasing complexity of such
systems.
This workshop will bring together scientists, engineers, practitioners,
and
computer users to share and exchange their experiences, discuss
challenges,
and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of 
performance
modeling, evaluation, and optimization of parallel and distributed
systems.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Predictive performance models of parallel and distributed systems
Performance measurement and monitoring tools
Tracing and trace analysis
Simulation
Analytical modeling
Software tools for system performance and evaluation
Automatic performance analysis
Performance comparison
Performance of memory and I/O interconnect
Performance of communication networks for parallel and distributed
systems
Performance analysis of parallel and distributed applications
Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning
Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished
research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.
The length of the papers should not exceed 18 DOUBLE-spaced pages
including figures and references on 8.5 by 11 inch paper using at least
11 point font. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format
(or postscript) by sending it as an e-mail attachment to
mohamed@dcs.gla.ac.uk
or geyong@dcs.gla.ac.uk. All papers will be peer reviewed and the
comments
will be provided to the authors. The accepted papers will be published
by
IEEE CS Press on the IPDPS CD-ROM and also be made available on the Web.

Selected high quality papers from the workshop will be considered for a 
Special Issue
of the journal - Computation and Concurrency: Practice and Experience -
