CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on
Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of Parallel and
Distributed Systems (PMEO-PDS'02)
To be held in conjunction with IPDPS'2002  (sponsored by IEEE Computer
Society and ACM SIGARCH)
April 15-19, 2002, Marriott Marina, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

SCOPE:
The performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of parallel and
distributed systems have been an important research topic over
the past years and poses challenging problems that require new tools and
methods to keep up with the rapid evolution and increasing
complexity of such systems. This workshop will bring together
scientists,
engineers, practitioners, and computer users to share and
exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report
state-of-the-art
and in-progress research on all aspects of performance
modeling, evaluation, and optimization of parallel and distributed
systems.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 Predictive performance models of parallel and distributed systems
 Performance measurement and monitoring tools
 Tracing and trace analysis
 Simulation
 Analytical modeling
 Software tools for system performance and evaluation
 Automatic performance analysis
 Performance comparison
 Performance of memory and I/O interconnect
 Performance of communication networks for parallel and distributed
  systems
 Performance analysis of parallel and distributed applications
 Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning
 Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
