[Tccc] MMB & DFT 2010 (Essen, Germany), Second Call

----- MMB & DFT 2010 ---- SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS -------

15th International GI/ITG Conference on

"Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems"

and "Dependability and Fault Tolerance"

Organized by GI/ITG Technical Committees on

"Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems (MMB)" and

"Dependability and Fault-Tolerance (DFT)"

MMB & DFT 2010: March 15 ­ 17, 2010 in Essen (Germany)

Conference Homepage: www.mmb2010.org <http://www.mmb2010.org/>

The technical committees MMB and DFT are the main fora in Germany covering

all aspects of performance and dependability evaluation of systems including

networks, computer architectures, distributed systems, software,

fault-tolerant and secure systems. In 2010 both committees join forces in a

common conference. MMB & DFT 2010 will start with a half day of tutorials

from scientific and industrial experts; invited talks and tool presentations

will accompany the scientific program. The conference language is English.

Topics of MMB & DFT 2010 include:

QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION TECHNIQUES related to

• Systems including Performance, Dependability, Security, Survivability,

Real-Time, Economic and Related Aspects like Performance-Dependability

Trade-Offs
