CALL FOR PAPERS
10th International Conference on
ANALYTICAL and STOCHASTIC MODELLING TECHNIQUES and APPLICATIONS
( ASMTA'2003 )
Nottingham, United Kingdom
June 9-11, 2003
The conference is organized by SCS-Europe (The Society for Modeling and
Simulation International)
as a part of the 17th European Simulation Multiconference Nottingham,
United Kingdom
June 9-11, 2003 URL: http://ducati.doc.ntu.ac.uk/uksim/ESM2003/webpage.htm
MOTIVATION:
This Conference is a continuation of the series of Conferences in
Analytical, Numerical and
Stochastic Modelling Techniques held as a part of European Simulation
Conferences.
Taking into account the complexity of real models of complex technical and
information
systems, methods of stochastic modelling based on analytical and
approximate results
for Markov and semi-Markov stochastic processes, queueing networks, Petri
nets,
Process algebras, etc. have recently become increasingly popular.
In many fields of applications involving performance and reliability
modelling of discrete
flow systems, such as computer systems, communication networks, flexible
manufacturing
systems and workflow management systems, it has been widely recognized that
analytical
and approximate approaches in stochastic modelling can successfully
complement simulation methods.
There are still many important and interesting problems to be resolved such
as those involving
stochastic Petri nets and queueing networks with complex structure,
multiple job classes
under various blocking mechanisms and synchronization constrains,
problems of
self-organization in neuron networks, etc. In these and many other
models
methods based
on analytical or approximate analytical results are more preferable
comparatively to
methods of direct stochastic simulation, because in general they
save the
time of
computation and give possibility to obtain analytical dependencies of
parameters.
Contributions based on analytical, numerical, stochastic and approximate
methods in modelling
as well as applications are encouraged but not restricted to the following
topics:
Topics:
* Techniques and Algorithms:
- Stochastic Models, Markov Models

- Stochastic Optimal Control and Optimization
- Performance Modeling
- Stochastic Process Algebras
- Stochastic Precedence Graphs
- Stochastic Simulation
- Statistical Analysis and Inference
- Analytical and Numerical Simulation
* Evaluation Studies of:
- Computer Systems and Information Networks
- Workflow Management Systems
- Communication Systems (LANs and Distributed Systems, ATM Switches, High
speed networks,
2G-3G-4G Mobile systems and networks, WATM)
- Workload Modelling and Characterization
- Operating Systems
- Client-Server Systems
- Multimedia Systems
- Measurements and Hybrid Techniques
- Software Performance

PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on ASMTA topics
are solicited.
Submission should include, on the cover page, authors names, affiliations,
addresses,
fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Please indicate clearly
the corresponding
author. Include up to 5 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no
more than 300
words. Please submit an electronic copy of your full manuscript (not to
exceed 10 double-spaced
pages including figures, tables, and references, which will reduce
in the
final proceedings
to a maximum of 5 double column pages for regular papers and 8 double
column pages for
extended papers) to the Conference Chair: Khalid Al-Begain. Electronic
submissions
will be accepted in PDF or PS formats sent to the email above. The file
name must
after the surname of the first author (e.g., Albegain.pdf). The subject
of the email
must be "ASMTA 2003." Consistent with standard practice, each submitted
paper will
receive a minimum of three reviews.
Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness,
significance, relevance,
and clarity of presentation. Initial selection will be based on full
papers. Submission
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and
present the paper,
if accepted. All accepted papers in the track are expected to be presented
and will be
included in the conference proceedings (both print and CD), which will be
copyrighted and
widely disseminated. Selected best papers from the conference will be
considered to be
published in a special issue of an international journal.
For information or questions about track's paper submission, please
contact: Khalid Al-Begain.
OUTSTANDING PAPER AWARD: The 2003 European Simulation Multiconference
Committee will select
the Outstanding Paper of the Multi-Conference. The author of this paper
will be awarded
a free registration for an SCS conference. LANGUAGE The official conference
language for
all papers and presentations is English.
