                 International Conference on 
        Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems

                     June 15-19 2002 
                 Marina del Rey, California

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.  Of
particular interest is work that furthers the state-of-the-art in
performance evaluation methods, or those that creatively apply
previously developed methods to understand or to gain important insights
into key design trade-offs in complex computer/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 fault-tolerant systems.

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

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

- Papers: Paper submissions are due on Friday, October 26 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 a way
as to preserve author anonymity.

- 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
conference.  Send proposals of no more than 1-2 pages for 90 minute and
3 hours 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 (email and
phone) and brief biography of speaker(s).  Postscript or PDF is
preferred.
