*6th International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and
Tools (ValueTools 2012)
October 9-12, 2012, Carg?se, Corsica
http://www.valuetools.org/

*ValueTools 2012* is an interdisciplinary conference whose goal is to
gather and to facilitate the flow of expertise between researchers from
different communities working on performance evaluation, optimization, and
stochastic modeling in complex systems. Owing to recent technological
advances and the massive connectivity of our "always-online" era,
these issues have attracted considerable interest in the fields of Computer
Science, Control Theory, Networks and Telecommunications, Operations
Research, and Signal Processing, and, traditionally, all these communities
have had a strong presence in the organization and steering of the
conference. Correspondingly, ValueTools 2012 solicits previously
unpublished contributions that propose new performance evaluation
methodologies (or help clarify the limitations of older ones) in practical
complex scenarios, and new tools (or novel applications of already
established ones) with which to control the performance of complex systems
where traditional methods have failed to produce appealing results.

*New:* ValueTools 2012 will comprise six thematic tracks aimed to provide
an in-depth look into different aspects of performance evaluation
methodologies and tools. These tracks are:
- *Economic* *Challenges* in Telecommunication Systems
Scope: quantitative answers to economic challenges concerning today and
future interconnection networks and markets
- *Game Theory* in Communication Networks
Scope: applying game theory to analyzing, designing, and assessing the
performance of networks.
- *Information Theory *and Performance Evaluation
Scope: applying information theory to another discipline or using other
disciplines to enrich it (coding theorems for multiuser channels,
information-theoretic security (e.g., physical security), interactions
between information theory and game theory, interactions between
information theory control theory, and large system approximations for
performance analysis...)
- *Mean Field* Control, Games and Applications
Scope: exploring and discussing new technical breakthrough and applications
focusing on all aspects related to interactions in large-scale systems
- *Stochastic Geometry* and Communication Networks
Scope: spatial stochastic models, including but not limited to: point
processes, coverage processes, discrete and continuum percolation, and
random graphs, to design and analyze of communication networks.*
- *Worst Case* End-to-end Performance Evaluation*
Scope: evaluation of worst case end-to-end performances in communication
networks, such as the worst case traversal time (WCTT) in multi-hop
networks.

 for more details on the thematic tracks.

The conference is seeking contributions on performance evaluation
techniques and tools from areas including (but not restricted to): Complex
systems, Control theory, Discrete event systems, Game theory, Machine
learning and neural networks, Mean field theory, Queueing theory, Random
matrix theory, Rare events and Monte Carlo simulation, Stochastic geometry,
Stochastic modeling
Envisaged applications encompass the following areas: Computer networks and
systems, Economics, Population biology, Road traffic and transportation
systems, Smart homes, energy aware optimization, Social networks...
