                 ****** ACM SIGMETRICS 2003 ******

                  International Conference on
         Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems

                      June 10-14, 2003
                  San Diego, California
             http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/sigm2003

    (held in conjunction with FCRC'03 (http://www.acm.org/fcrc)



The SIGMETRICS conference solicits papers on the development and
application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic,
simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques.
We are interested in techniques whose aim is to evaluate a system's
dependability, security, correctness, or power consumption as well as
more traditional performance metrics.  Of particular interest is work
that furthers the state of the art in performance evaluation methods,
or that creatively applies previously developed methods to gain
important insights into key design trade-offs in complex computer and
communication systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:


- Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of communication
   networks, Internet servers, computer architectures, database
   systems, operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems,
   mobile and handheld systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems,
   real-time systems, and dependable systems, including case studies
   and performance-evaluation tools.

- Performance methodology techniques, algorithms, and tools for
   analytic modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model
   verification and validation, workload characterization, simulation,
   statistical analysis, stochastic modeling including queues,
   stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, experimental
   design, reliability and availability analysis, power analysis,
   performance optimizations, and hybrid models.

Submission Guidelines
=====================

- Papers: On October 25, 2002, authors must submit the title,
   abstract, and author list (with affiliations) for their intended
   submission.  Submissions of the full papers are due on November 1,
   2002 and should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages, including figures
   and tables.  Papers must be submitted electronically in printable
   postscript or PDF form.  All submissions will be reviewed using a
   double-blind review process.  The identity of the authors and
   referees will not be revealed to each other.  To ensure blind
   reviewing, authors' names and affiliations MUST NOT appear in the
   paper; bibliographic references must be made in such as way as to
   preserve author anonymity.  See the web site for more information on
   submission.

- Hot Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for a hot topic session,
   in which a group of speakers will present and discuss their recent
   results in an area.  Send proposals to the program chairs,
   identifying the organizer of the session, the session title, three
   to five speakers, the titles of their talks, and a short abstract of
   each talk.

- Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the main
   conference.  Send proposals of no more than 1 or 2 pages (for
   90-minute or 3-hour tutorials) to the tutorials chair.  Include the
   proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience,
   assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation, contact
   information (e-mail and phone), and brief biography of speaker(s).
   Postscript or PDF is preferred.

     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.
