-          A Selection of the best papers will be invited to submit an
extended 

version to a Special Issue in the Performance Evaluation journal

 

The MASCOTS conference encourages original submissions describing

state-of-the-art research in the areas of the performance evaluation of

computer systems and networks as well as in related areas and emerging

technologies such as nano-networks, energy networks and the smart grid, and

advanced machine learning techniques for performance analysis and
management.

 

Papers describing results of theoretic and/or practical significance are

solicited. Experimental, modeling, and simulation studies are all in the
scope

of the conference. Work presenting novel performance evaluation methods or

providing insights on design and runtime management tradeoffs are
particularly

encouraged.

 

Broad topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Advanced machine learning techniques.

- Computer architectures, multi-core processors, and memory systems

- Computer networks, protocols, and algorithms

- Databases and big data systems and technologies

- Distributed and cloud computing

- Data and control plane separation

- Distributed ledger and other blockchain-based system design

- Distributed, cloud, and fog computing

- Energy efficient computer systems

- Internet of Things

- Multi-access edge computing

- Multimedia systems

- Network softwarization and virtualization

- Operating systems and virtualization

- Security in computer and communication systems

- Storage and file systems

- Web systems, enterprise applications and web services

- Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal

or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

 

Full papers: Submissions must be formatted using two-columns and may be at
most

12 pages in length, including all tables, figures, and appendices, but not

including references. You may include any number of pages for references.

Unsuccessful full paper submissions, where appropriate, will automatically
be

considered for publication as short papers.

 

Short papers: Authors with a contribution for which a full paper is not

appropriate may submit short papers of at most 6 pages, not including

references, with the same formatting guidelines as full papers. You may
include

any number of pages for references. Short papers may describe original or

unconventional ideas at a preliminary stage of development, negative
results,

experimental validations, or original results that do not require a
full-length

paper.

 

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted or under review for

publication elsewhere. Technical Program Committee members and other experts

active in the field will review submitted papers to ensure high quality and

relevance to the conference program. Accepted papers will appear in the

conference proceedings to be published in IEEExplore. For accepted papers,

conference registration and attendance by at least one author to present the

paper is mandatory.

 

For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript

Templates for Conference Proceedings

(https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). All papers
must

be formatted using the two-column IEEE conference style with a font size of
10

points or greater. There is no need to anonymise submissions, since MASCOTS

does not use a double-blind reviewing process (only single-blind).

 

A selection of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version
of 

their paper to a Special Issue in the Performance Evaluation journal (after
the conference).
