CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

QEST'10 - 7th Int'l Conference on the Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems
NSMC'10 - 6th Int'l Workshop on the Numerical Solution of Markov Chains

College of William & Mary, Computer Science Department
15th-18th September, 2010, Williamsburg, VA, USA

We cordially invite you to attend QEST'10 and NSMC'10, held in
Williamsburg, VA.

The International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST)
is the leading forum on evaluation and verification of computer systems
and networks, through stochastic models and measurements.

NSMC'10 is an international workshop that is devoted to all aspects of the
numerical solution of Markov chains.
