(SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: November 23, 2008)
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.
