Reed"Call for Papers 1985 ACM Sigmetrics Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems August 26-29, 1985 Austin, Texas This conference is a forum for presenting state-of-the-art work in both practical and theoretical aspects of computer systems performance. Because the conference interprets performance in the broadest way, papers spanning the spectrum from the perfor- mance of single chips to computer networks are solicited. Appropriate subjects include case studies yielding insight about the evaluation methodology or the system under study, new model- ing techniques addressing significant problem areas, and the use of performance modeling in the design of hardware and software systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * General and special pur- * Reliability modeling pose parallel processors * Database systems modeling * Scheduling and resource allocation in multiproces- * Software performance sor or distributed systems engineering * Computer communication * Exact and approximate networks (local area and solution algorithms for long distance) queueing systems * Comparative studies of * Parallel and vector simu- architectural or program- lation techniques ming features By February 4, 1985, six copies of each submission must reach the program co-chairman: Daniel A. Reed Department of Computer Science 1304 West Springfield Avenue University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois 61801 Papers should be no longer than 5000 words. Author identifica- tion should appear only in a separate cover letter; all papers will be refereed blind. Proceedings will be published as a spe- cial issue of Performance Evaluation Review, the SIGMETRICS quar- terly journal. Papers of exceptional merit will also be submit- ted to a refereed journal for possible publication. General Chairman: Herb Schwetman (MCC) Program Chairmen: Jeffrey A.
