           Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis
                                   MAMA 2002


                                 June 16, 2002
                        Marina del Rey, California, USA     

                    Held in conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2002
                          Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS



The complexity of computer systems, networks and applications, as well
as
the advancements in computer technology, continue to grow at a rapid
pace.
Mathematical analysis, modeling and optimization are playing an
important role
in research studies to investigate fundamental issues and tradeoffs at
the
core of performance problems in the design and implementation of complex
computer systems, networks and applications.

The Fourth Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis
(MAMA 2002) seeks to bring together researchers working on the
mathematical,
methodological and theoretical aspects of performance analysis, modeling
and
optimization.  It is intended to provide a forum at SIGMETRICS
conferences for
talks on early research in the more mathematical areas of computer
performance
analysis.  These talks tend to be based on very recent research results
(including work in progress) or on new research results that will be
otherwise
submitted only to a journal (or recently have been submitted to a
journal).
Thus, part of the goal is to complement and supplement the SIGMETRICS
Conference program with such talks without removing any theoretical
contributions from the main program.

This year's workshop will be held all day June 16 (the day before the
main
SIGMETRICS program), overlapping with some of the SIGMETRICS Tutorials. 
In
addition to the presentation of extended abstracts, the workshop will
include
time for informal technical discussions among the speakers and
attendees.

                   ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Bulletin Board
                      http://www.csm.ornl.gov/~sigmetrics

  The Performance bulletin board is a moderated distribution list
sponsored by
    ACM SIGMETRICS. It is intended for the exchange of technical
information
   among members of the performance evaluation community.  Typical
submissions
   include performance-related questions and announcements of research
papers,
        software, job opportunities, conferences, and calls for
papers.      

              Send submissions to performance@haven.csm.ornl.gov
