The 2009 IEEE International Workshop on Quantitative Evaluation of

large-scale Systems and Technologies (QuEST09)

Bradford, UK --- May 26-29, 2009

http://www.inspire.ece.uvic.ca/Conf/QuEST09

In conjunction with the 23rd IEEE AINA Conference

http://www.aina-conference.org/2009

Modern society has become intrinsically dependent on large-scale

distributed information and networking systems. These systems'

availability, reliability, dependability, security, and privacy, all lend

support to many core societal needs including: critical utility

infrastructure, finance and banking, health services, production and

manufacturing, leisure and entertainment, and e-Government. Improving our

ability to engineer such systems requires a good understanding of how they

behave at-scale in the real world. Unfortunately, resource constraints

have generally restricted research from pursuing such evaluation and

testing work. Recently, test beds in the order of 100-node have become

relatively commmonplace, and combined with the development of larger-scale

platforms such as EmuLab and DETER, they have advanced our knowledge

considerably.

This workshop focuses on the issues, requirements, and tools to support

real-world representative at-scale testing, and results obtained through

such testing efforts. Statistically representative quantitative measures

and evaluations required for the development and assessment of large-scale

systems and applications are of particular interest. Original research

works addressing the state-of-the-art large-scale system testing,

evaluation and behavioural prediction are solicited in the following areas

(but not limited to):

* Test bed development

* Measurement and instrumentation tool development

* In situ system testing

* Real-world system modeling

* Real-world application characterization

* Real-world system emulation

* Real-world case studies

* Cyber security

* Workload and traffic generation

* Distributed system dependability, scalability, and capacity

* Network engineering design

* Large-scale engineering, scientific and data-intensive algorithms

Submission Deadline: November 23, 2008

Author Notification On: December 6 , 2008

Author Registration Deadline: December 15, 2008

Final Manuscript Due: December 22, 2008

Original full papers of at most 6 (six) pages including figures and

references in PDF (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Style: two columns,

single-spaced, 10 font)are solicited.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the

paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present

at the conference.

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and

archived in the IEEE Digital Library.
