MAMA 2012
The Fourteenth Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis
Held in conjunction with SIGMETRICS/Performance 2012
June 15th, 2012 - London, UK
Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS and IFIP W.G. 7.3
http://www.sigmetrics.org/mama/ (to be updated soon)
The complexity of computer systems, networks and applications, as well as
the advancements in computer technology, continue to grow at a rapid pace.
Mathematical analysis, modeling and optimization are playing an important
role in research studies to investigate fundamental issues and trade-offs
at the core of performance problems in the design and implementation of
complex computer systems, networks and applications.
The Fourteenth Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis
(MAMA 2012) seeks to bring together researchers working on the
mathematical, methodological and theoretical aspects of performance
analysis, modeling and optimization. It is intended to provide a forum at
SIGMETRICS conferences for talks on early research in the more
mathematical areas of computer performance analysis. These talks tend to
be based on very recent research results (including work in progress) or
on new research results that will be otherwise submitted only to a journal
(or recently have been submitted to a journal). Thus, part of the goal is
to complement and supplement the SIGMETRICS Conference program with such
talks without removing any theoretical contributions from the main
technical program.
This year's workshop will be held on June 15 (the day after the main
SIGMETRICS/Performance technical program). In addition to the presentation
of extended abstracts, the workshop will include time for informal
technical discussions among the speakers and attendees.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Abstract Submission Deadline: May 4, 2012
Acceptance Notification: May 17, 2012
Final Abstracts for Workshop: May 28, 2012
MAMA Workshop: Jun 15, 2012
Final PER Extended Abstracts: Aug 31, 2012
MAMA 2012 encourages the submission of abstracts describing early research
on the general mathematical, methodological and theoretical aspects of
performance analysis, modeling and optimization. Authors are asked to
submit 2-3 page abstracts, using the standard ACM PER format (refer to
http://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls), before the above
deadline. Submissions violating these formatting guidelines will be
returned without review. Abstracts should be submitted electronically, as
an e-mail attachment, to mss((at))us.ibm.com. Postscript or PDF is
preferred, although other arrangements can be made by contacting Mark
Squillante (mss((at))us.ibm.com).
Submissions will be reviewed by the MAMA program committee, from which a
number of abstracts will be selected for inclusion in the workshop
program. A version of the accepted abstracts will be provided at the
workshop. Revised versions of these abstracts will be published in a
special issue of Performance Evaluation Review (PER), with a due date
after the workshop making it possible for authors to incorporate the
results of, or simply mention, any relevant discussions at the workshop.
Authors of accepted abstracts grant ACM permission to publish them in
print and digital formats. Note that there are no copyright issues with
PER, and thus authors retain the copyright of their work with complete
freedom to submit their work elsewhere.
