InfQ 2012
Organized by the Italian Group on Quantitative Methods in Informatics
Lucca, Italy, July 5 - 6, 2012
Website: www.infq.it
Summary
========
The ever increasing complexity stemming from the integration of computer and
network
architectures opens new interesting challenges to the performance evaluation
field. The Third
Workshop of the Italian group on Quantitative Methods in Informatics (InfQ
2012) will be held in
Lucca after the two successful editions in Pisa (2010) and Lipari (2011).
InfQ 2012 will focus on the
following themes:
? Future Internet (the Internet as a complex system, the Internet and the
economy, greening
of the Internet, the Internet of things, new communication paradigms);
? Global Computing (technologies and resource management, computational and
business models);
? New quantitative evaluation methodologies, techniques and tools;
? Monitoring and measurement of networks and systems.
The spirit of the event is an open workshop where young researchers and PhD
students can meet,
share ideas and experiences among them and with senior researchers. For
these reasons, at least
one young researcher should be in the list of authors of each submitted
paper. Participants can
also take advantage of the PhD summer school (
http://gii-infq.lab.imtlucca.it/) of the GII
(Gruppo di Ingegneria Informatica - <http://gii.consorzio-cini.it/>
gii.?consorzio-?cini.?it) that will be held in Lucca between June 25 and
July 4, 2012,
immediately before the workshop. The workshop accepts papers covering
application and
methodological issues addressed through analytical models, tools,
prototypes, simulators,
statistical analysis. Algorithms, metrics and software oriented to improve
capacity planning, load
characterization, availability, testing and management of new systems and
applications are
welcome. All the submitted papers will be peer reviewed by at least three
referees. All accepted papers will
be available on-line on the CEUR Workshop Proceedings site (ceur-ws.org)
that does not require
copyright release. Hence, the authors can take advantage of InfQ reviews and
feedback received
at the workshop to improve and submit their papers to other conferences or
journals. During the
workshop, the TPC will select the best papers that, after revision and
integration, can follow a fast
track reviewing process for a selected set of journals, such as Real Time
Systems
(http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/11241),
Computer Networks (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/),
LNCS Tr. On Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/transactions+opnoc?SGWID=0-159302-0-0
-0),
ACM Performance Evaluation Review (http://www.sigmetrics.org/per.shtml) and
other
possible journals that are under consideration. The complete list will be
published on the InfQ web
site (www.infq.it). The workshop includes also a PhD defense corner where
students can present and discuss their
dissertation research in a friendly and frank environment. This corner
represents an opportunity for
senior PhD students to evaluate their main results before thesis writing,
and for young PhD
students to check the orientation of their research line. Paper submissions
will be handled through the EasyChair conference management system.
