**** Submission Deadline EXTENDED TO 28 OCTOBER 2007 ***** ************************************************************** (Selected high-quality papers from the PMEO-UCNS'08 workshop will appear in a Special Issue of the journal - International Journal of Parallel, Emergent, and Distributed Systems (IJPEDS), Taylor & Francis - http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17445760.asp) ************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 7th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of Ubiquitous Computing and Networked Systems (PMEO-UCNS’08) To be held in conjunction with IPDPS'08 (Supported by IEEE Computer Society in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH), 14 -18 April, 2008, Miami, Florida, USA http://www.inf.brad.ac.uk/~gmin/PMEO-08.html http://www.ipdps.org/ipdps2008/2008_workshops.html SCOPE: The performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of ubiquitous computing and networked systems have been an important research topic over the past years and poses challenging problems that require new tools and methods to keep up with the rapid evolution and increasing complexity of such systems. This workshop will bring together scientists, engineers, practitioners, and computer users to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of ubiquitous computing and networked systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -- Predictive performance models of ubiquitous computing systems -- Predictive performance models of wired and wireless networks -- Performance measurement and monitoring tools -- Tracing and trace analysis -- Simulation -- Analytical modeling -- Software tools for system performance and evaluation -- Automatic performance analysis -- Performance comparison -- Performance of memory and I/O interconnect -- Performance of communication networks -- Performance of mobile distributed systems -- Performance analysis and evaluation of ubiquitous computing and networked applications -- Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning -- Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS: Geyong Min Department of Computing University of Bradford Bradford, BD7 1DP, U.K. E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mohamed Ould-Khaoua Department of Computing Science University of Glasgow Glasgow, G12 8RZ, U.K. E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PROGRAM CHAIR: Ahmed Y.
