1st IEEE Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Communications in
Distributed Systems and Web based Service Architectures
Sousse, Tunisia, July 5 - 8, 2009
In conjunction with the 14th IEEE Symposium on Computers
and Communications (IEEE ISCC'09)

Paper submission deadline: *Febrary 1st, 2009*
*Scope*
Performance evaluation is still a topic that attains a lot of attention
in both distributed
and mobile systems as well as Web based services architectures. Due to
the recent
advances in internet based applications as well as distributed and
mobile communication
systems, we are witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these
systems
are becoming very large and complex at the same time. Several challenges
remain to be
resolved before these systems become a commodity. Guaranteeing QoS and
provisioning
of web-based systems as well as distributed and mobile systems and
evaluating their
communication performance represent among the challenging problem in the
design of
these systems. Quantitative analysis can be very difficult and may be
intractable because
of the state space explosion. New methods and tools have recently
emerged for these
kinds of complex systems, such as Stochastic Automata Networks,
Stochastic bounds,
PEPA, just to mention a few.
This workshop focuses on the performance evaluation of both distributed
and mobile
systems, as well as Web based services architectures using both
analytical methods
and simulation studies. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers
presenting new
research related to QoS and communication performance evaluation of
these systems.
Submitted papers must not have been previously published elsewhere nor
currently
under review in any another conference or journal.
*Topics of interest include but are not limited to: *
· Communication performance evaluation of distributed and mobile systems
· Performance evaluation of distributed and web-based systems
· Measurement, analysis, modeling
· Tools and software for performance evaluation
· Simulation and measurements techniques
· QoS for Web services architectures
· Services Web composition
· Quantitative analysis
· Stochastic comparisons
· Network Protocols design for Web service devices
· Routing optimization
· Bandwidth management
This workshop focuses upon the QoS and communication performance
analysis, methods
and modeling of distributed systems and Web based services architectures.
