CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and

Optimization of Ubiquitous Computing and Networked Systems

(PMEO-UCNS'09)

To be held in conjunction with IPDPS'09 (Supported by IEEE Computer

Society in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH), 25-29 May, 2009, Rome,

Italy

SCOPE:

The performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of ubiquitous

computing and networked 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 ubiquitous computing

and networked systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-- Predictive performance models of ubiquitous computing systems

-- Predictive performance models of wired and wireless networks

-- 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 of mobile distributed systems

-- Performance analysis and evaluation of ubiquitous computing and

networked applications

-- Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning

-- Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
