CALL FOR PAPERS

Eighteenth Annual UK Performance Engineering Workshop (UKPEW' 2002)
University of Glasgow, UK
July 10-11 2002
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/ukpew02



SCOPE:
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:
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.


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
mohamed@dcs.gla.ac.uk 
no later than 30 April 2002. Electronic submission is preferred. 
Notification of acceptance will be given by 26 May 2002 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 will be
made 
available as an on-line publication of the Department of Computing
Science. 
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 15 June 2002.


IMPORTANT DATES:
- Deadline for extended abstracts/draft papers: 30 April 2002
- Notification of acceptance: 26 May 2002
- Camera-ready copy deadline: 15 June 2002
