CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on
Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of  Parallel and
Distributed Systems (PMEO-PDS' 2003)

To be held in conjunction with IPDPS' 2003 (sponsored by IEEE Computer
Society and ACM SIGARCH)
22 -26 April, 2003, Nice Acropolis Convention Center, Nice, France

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
· 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
