Call for Papers Scope In recent years, a range of performance evaluation methodologies and tools have been developed within various research communities for the purposes of evaluation, design, and model reduction. The aim of the Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools conference is to build bridges between these communities, bringing theory and practice together. Topics Topics include, but are not limited to the following: Performance evaluation techniques Advanced simulation tools Simulation of rare events Parallel/distributed simulations Variance reduction techniques Large deviations Hybrid system simulation   Discrete event systems Petri nets   Max-plus algebra Automata, timed automata   Queueing theory Markovian queues and networks Network calculus Analytical methods Approximation methods (In)Sensitivity Dynamic Fluid Models Diffusion models Dam processes Perturbation approaches Control of Queues   Other stochastic models Stochastic geometry Long-range dependence Self-similarity Point processes Traffic models and measurements   Other topics Supervisory control Reliability/performability tools Neural networks and decision tools Game theory and pricing Resource allocation Complex Networks Applications Computer networks (including peer-to-peer systems and traffic control services) Computer systems (e.g. grid computing) Communication systems Wireless networks (including MAC and routing protocols, cellular networks, Ad Hoc/Sensor etc.) Distributed systems Road traffic and transportation systems Public utility networks Manufacturing systems and supply chains Call centers Economic, biological and social systems Publication and Awards Accepted papers will be made available in the ACM Digital Library and the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Performance Evaluation Journal and on the Discrete Events Dynamic Systems Journal. The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be selected by peer reviews and will be acknowledged with awards presented during the social event.
