GENERAL

TOOLS 2002 will be hosted at the Imperial College of Science,
Technology and Medicine and will include paper presentations, tool
demonstrations, tutorials, invited speakers and social events.
Imperial College is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and
Chelsea, close to several museums, the Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park
and Kensington Palace.  It is intended that the proceedings will be
published in the Springer Verlag `Lecture Notes in Computer Science'
series.

SCOPE

The primary aim of the `Performance Tools' conference series is to
further the theory and technology for tool-based performance
evaluation of computer and communication systems. Important themes for
the 12th of this successful conference series include (but are not
restricted to):

-- software tools for system performance and evaluation
-- simulation techniques
-- analytical modelling techniques
-- optimisation
-- performance measurement/benchmarking
-- formal methods
-- case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
-- applications including high speed networking, mobile
   communication and the internet

INVITED SPEAKERS

To be announced shortly.

TOOLS 2002 PAPER SUBMISSION

Paper submissions should contain previously unpublished work and not
exceed more than 20 double-spaced pages devoted to the themes of the
conference. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of
the programme committee. It is expected that accepted papers will be
published in a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (Springer
Verlag) devoted to the conference.  The registration of at least one
of the authors must accompany the camera-ready copy submission. From
the accepted papers, the programme committee will select a small
number of papers for possible publication in Performance Evaluation in
extended form, subject to further review.

Authors are required to submit their papers as postscript or PDF
files via the world-wide web: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/tools2002

TOOLS 2002 TOOL SUBMISSION

Proposals to present and demonstrate tools for performance evaluation
of computer and communication systems are also solicited.  Accepted
tools papers will be limited to short (10 minute) presentations and
will be allowed a four-page summary in the proceedings. Please contact
the tools chair.

TOOLS 2002 TUTORIAL SUBMISSION

Tutorial proposals are solicited on various topics concerning the
performance evaluation of computer and communication systems. Please
contact the tutorial chair, William Knottenbelt (wjk@doc.ic.ac.uk).
