Call For Papers
ACM SIGMETRICS 2013 -- International Conference on Measurement and
Modeling of Computer Systems
June 17-21, 2013
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
http://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2013/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ACM SIGMETRICS 2013 solicits papers on the development and application
of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation and
measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular
interest is work that presents new performance evaluation methods or
that creatively applies previously developed methods to make predictions
about, or gain insights into key design trade-offs in, computer and
networked systems. The main conference will be held from June 18-20,
2013. There will be workshops and tutorials on June 17, 2013. There
will also be workshops on June 21, 2013. Submission details will be
published shortly on this Web site. A rebuttal process will be piloted this
year to provide authors with the opportunity to clarify
misunderstandings perceived in the first round reviews.

The notion of performance is broadly construed – including
considerations of speed and scalability as well as reliability,
availability,
sustainability and manageability of systems. We encourage both
theoretical contributions and also submissions relating to real world
empirical studies or focusing on implementation and experimental issues.

Quantitative design and evaluation studies of:

* Computer and communication networks, protocols and algorithms
* Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc and sensor networks
* Computer architectures, multi-core processors, memory systems and
storage networks
* Operating systems, file systems and databases
* Virtualization and data centers
* Distributed and cloud computing
* Energy-efficient computing systems
* Real-time and fault-tolerant systems
* Mobile and personal computing systems
* Large-scale operational systems
* Software systems and enterprise applications
* Smart power grids
* Social networks, multimedia systems, service-oriented architectures
and Web services
* Emerging technologies

Methodologies, formalisms, solution techniques and algorithms for:

* Performance, scalability, power and reliability analysis
* Sustainability analysis and power management
* Capacity planning, resource allocation, run time management and scheduling
* Anomaly detection
* Analytical modeling techniques and model validation
* System measurement, monitoring and forecasting
* Workload characterization and benchmarking
* Quality of service, total cost of ownership and pricing
* Experimental design, statistical analysis, simulation
* Performance-oriented applications of game theory, economics, machine
learning, control theory, and signal processing
