** UPDATE: PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENSION **
Due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak and in response to the numerous requests received, the IFIP WG 7.3 PERFORMANCE 2020 conference organizers have decided to extend the
deadline to submit papers for the Congress. The new deadline for papers submission is now May 24, 2020 Anywhere on Earth.
** UPDATE: COVID-19 **
IFIP WG 7.3 PERFORMANCE 2020 conference organizers have the
safety and health of our community as a top priority. We are continuously
monitoring the COVID-19 situation from local authorities and the World
Health Organization. The conference is six-month away, and we hope
that COVID-19 emergency will pass over and the conference will be held
in November, as planned. However, if necessary, alternative solutions,
such as postponement and remote presentations will be adopted.
In any case, timely publication of the papers at journal special issues as
indicated below is confirmed. More information will be provided to authors
and attendees after the due date of acceptance notification.
** UPDATE: SPECIAL ISSUES **
Regular papers will be published in a special issue of the Elsevier
journal Performance Evaluation (PEVA). Alternatively, authors may opt-out
in favor of submission to other special issues in journals related to
Performance Evaluation, Operations Research and Applied Probability.
Special Issues will appear in:
- ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing
Systems
(TOMPECS, https://dl.acm.org/journal/tompecs )
- Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications
(QUESTA, https://www.springer.com/journal/11134 )
- Stochastic Models
( https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/lstm20/current )
- Stochastic Systems
( https://pubsonline.informs.org/journal/stsy )
** UPDATE: TUTORIALS **
The following tutorials have also been announced:
- Reliability and Availability Modeling in Practice, by
Prof. Kishor Trivedi (Duke University, North Carolina, USA) and
Prof. Andrea Bobbio (Universit�� del Piemonte Orientale, Italy)
- Load balancing, redundancy, and multi-type job and server systems, by
Prof. Urtzi Ayesta (IRIT, Toulouse, France)
- AI4NETS ��� AI/ML for data communication Networks by
Dr. Pedro Casas (Austrian Institute of Technology, Leoben, Austria)
** CONFERENCE TOPICS **
The IFIP Performance conference aims to bring together researchers
interested in understanding and improving the performance of computing and
communication systems by means of state-of-the-art quantitative models and
solution techniques. Research papers on the design of algorithms,
mathematical analysis and modeling, simulation and measurement techniques
for computer systems or communication networks are solicited.
Topics of interest include the following.
Performance-oriented methodologies including:
- Stochastic modelling, statistical analysis and simulation
- Capacity planning, resource allocation, routing, scheduling and
Quality of Service
- Energy-efficient computing and networking
- Computer architectures and operating systems
- Network architectures, protocols and congestion control
- Storage systems and datacenters
Evaluation techniques, and algorithms for:
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Blockchains and crypto-currency
- Cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, fog computing
- Data centers, content delivery, cloud computing and virtualization
- Internet and web services
- Network economics and markets
- Security systems
- Social networks, multimedia systems and smart grid
- Wireless, ad-hoc and cellular networks
** IMPORTANT DATES **
Abstract submission: May 17th, 2020
Full paper submission: May 24th, 2020
Notification to authors: July 19th, 2020
** PAPER SUBMISSION **
Performance 2020 accepts submissions in two categories:
- Regular papers: 12 pages
- Short papers: 6 pages
Regular papers should not exceed 12 pages double-column and single-spaced
including figures, tables and references in standard ACM format. Short
papers are limited to 6 pages. In addition (both for regular and short
paper submissions), a 2-page appendix is permitted, which is not included
in the page-count. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable
pdf form. Templates for the standard ACM format can be found at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Papers must follow the ACM format. Authors should use the "sigconf" proceedings template. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those specified by the style files. Papers violating the formatting guidelines will be returned without review.
Authors of rejected Sigmetrics 2020 papers are invited to submit a revised
version of their paper, which would then be reviewed again as new by at
least one of its Sigmetrics reviewers to aid consistency. The authors are
allowed to include a response to the Sigmetrics reviews in a
clearly-marked appendix that will not count against the page limit.
Papers can be submitted at
https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=3dlDq9ce6SdbKRGnNTIXxI#
All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process. The
identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To
ensure double-blind reviewing, authors names and affiliations should not
appear in the paper and bibliographic references should be made in such a
way as to preserve author anonymity.
Warning: It is ACM policy not to allow double submissions, where the same
paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any
double submissions detected will be rejected immediately from all
conferences/journals involved.
Accepted short papers (limited to 6 pages) and abstracts of accepted
regular papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM Performance
Evaluation Review (PER).
** SPECIAL ISSUES **
Regular papers will be published in a special issue of the Elsevier
journal Performance Evaluation (PEVA).
Alternatively, authors may opt-out in favor of submission to other special
issues in journals related to Performance Evaluation, Operations Research
and Applied Probability.
Eligible papers are:
- extensions of short-papers and
- long papers that opt-out of publication in Performance Evaluation (PEVA).
Authors need to make sure that their work falls within the scope of the
respective journal. All the papers will be reviewed according to the
standards of the journal.
Special Issues will appear in:
1. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing
Systems (TOMPECS).
The editors will invite the authors of a few papers (short or long) to
submit a full-length manuscript. Prepare your manuscript using the same
manuscript preparation guidelines as the ones for regular TOMPECS
submissions.
2. Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA)
All conference papers (short and long papers that opt-out of PEVA) may
submit to the SI. The conference version of the paper published in PER
should be no more than 6 pages. Accepted full papers that opt out of PEVA
will have to be shortened by the authors if they wish to have their paper
submitted to Queueing Systems. Prepare your manuscript using the same
manuscript preparation guidelines as the ones for regular QUESTA
submissions.
3. Stochastic Models
The conference version of the paper published in PER should be no more
than 6 pages. Accepted full papers that opt out of PEVA will have to be
shortened by the authors if they wish to have their paper submitted to
Stochastic Models. Prepare your manuscript using the same manuscript
preparation guidelines as the ones for regular Stochastic Models
submissions.
4. Stochastic Systems
The conference version of the paper published in PER should be no more
than 6 pages. Accepted full papers that opt out of PEVA will have to be
shortened by the authors if they wish to have their paper submitted to
Stochastic Systems. Prepare your manuscript using the same manuscript
preparation guidelines as the ones for regular Stochastic Systems
submissions.
