CFP: ASMT'02: 9th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques, Darmstadt, Germany, 3-5 June 2002

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

9th International Conference on

ANALYTICAL and STOCHASTIC MODELLING TECHNIQUES (ASMT'2002)

Darmstadt, Germany,   June 3-5, 2001

The conference is organized by SCS (The Society for Computer
Simulation International) as a part of the 16th European Simulation
Multiconference in Darmstadt, Germany, June 3-5, 2002
URL: http://hobbes.rug.ac.be/~scs/conf/esm2001/

MOTIVATION:

This Conference is a continuation of 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, etc.
have
recently become increasingly popular.

In many fields of applications involving performance and reliability
modelling of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, high speed

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, 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 Petri Net Models
- Queueing Systems and Network Models
- Neuron Networks
- Reliability and Maintenance 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

* Software Tools
