              11 and 15 June 2012, London, United Kingdom

The organisers are pleased to announce that two keynote talks will be 
given on the first and second days of the main conference, on the 12th 
and 13th of June 2012.  The speakers are Naresh Patel, Technical 
Director, Netapp Inc, USA and Zhen Liu, Head of Nokia Research Growth 
Economies Laboratory, China.  Their details appear below; keep watching 
the conference web site (above) for up-to-date details.

DR. NARESH PATEL is currently a Technical Director for Performance 
Engineering at NetApp Inc. in Sunnyvale, California, where he analyses 
and models the performance of caching and storage architectures. Prior 
to his 12 years at NetApp, he held leadership positions in research and 
development at Tandem Computers Inc. and Compaq Inc. (now part of 
Hewlett Packard). He obtained his Ph.D. in Computing Science from 
Imperial College London in 1989, following a B.Sc. (First Class with 
Honours) in Computing Science in 1986, and co-authored a book on 
performance modeling with Peter Harrison in 1992. Since moving into 
industry he has continued to pursue his interest in researching 
techniques for performance analysis and modeling applicable to new 
technologies, resulting in several papers in both international 
conferences and top-tier journals, as well as novel performance-related 
components in systems software.

KEYNOTE TITLE:  Performance Implications of Storage Class Memory 
Architectures

DR. ZHEN LIU joined Nokia in 2008 as the Head of NRC Beijing, and then

(formerly France Telecom R&D) as a Research Associate, and in INRIA (the 
French national research center on information and automation), first as 
a Researcher, then becoming a Research Director.

He is an adjunct professor at the University of Science and Technology 
of China and Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications. While he 
was in France, Zhen was also an adjunct professor of the University of 
Paris VI (University of Pierre & Marie Curie) and the University of Nice 
- Sophia Antipolis, France.

Zhen is a fellow of IEEE and a member of the IFIP W.G. 7.3. He has 
served on NSF Panels and a number of conference program committees. He 
was the general chair of the ACM Sigmetrics 2008 Conference, co-chair of 
ACM HotMetrics 2008, program co-chair of the Joint Conference of ACM 
Sigmetrics and IFIP Performance 2004, technical program co-chair of 
Sensorcomm 2009, and area TPC chair for INFOCOM 2008 and INFOCOM 2009. 
He is on the editorial boards of several journals including IEEE 
Transactions on Service Computing and the Journal of Performance 
Evaluation, published by Elsevier.

He has given keynotes and distinguished lectures in various conferences 
and universities, has had over 50 US patents granted and over 200
