CALL FOR PAPERS

31st UK Performance Engineering Workshop
Leeds, UK
17-18 September 2015
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/scswsci/ukpew15/

UKPEW is the leading UK forum for the presentation of all aspects of
performance modelling and analysis of computer and telecommunication systems.
Original papers are invited on all relevant topics but papers on or related to
the subjects listed below are particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Stochastic modelling of computer systems and networks
- Tools for all aspects of performance engineering from workload
   characterisation to operational analysis
- Modelling paradigms including, but not limited to: Stochastic Process
   Algebras, Stochastic Petri Nets and Queueing Theory
- Solution and simplification techniques for large Markov processes
- Formal notations for performance modelling
- Modelling and analysis of reliability and performance guarantees
- Performance-oriented design and analysis methods
- Novel techniques in computer system simulation
- Performance case studies and industrial reports
- Experience and evaluation of existing tools and techniques
- Performance and power consumption tradeoffs
- Performance overhead of secure systems
- Performance analysis of communication networks, mobile and wireless
    networks, software systems, distributed systems, system architectures,
    embedded systems, web-based systems, grid and cloud computing.

This workshop is the primary event at which the UK performance community can
get together to present and discuss their work. Whilst primarily aimed at UK
based performance engineers, we also welcome contributions from researchers
working in other countries and those whose interest in performance is derived
from experience in other fields. It provides an ideal opportunity for
academics, industrialists and PhD students to relate experience and to present
both finished work and work in progress. The event has been organised to
sustain the atmosphere of informality that previous UKPEWs have fostered.
