MASCOTS 2006 Call for  Papers

14th Annual Meeting of the IEEE / ACM
International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis, and
Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems
(MASCOTS)
September 11-13, 2006

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO APRIL 17, 2006

OVERVIEW:
MASCOTS will hold its 14th annual international meeting at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel in Monterey California. We encourage researchers
worldwide to submit both theoretical and practical results of
significance that have not previously been published. Mascots 2006
will include a new track on the experimental verification of past,
important results and techniques.  Papers in this track will be
allocated variable space depending on the needs to describe the
results.  Papers for this track will be judged on the importance of
the original results and of the accuracy and completeness of the
experiments, not on the outcome of the verification. With this track,
Mascots hopes to encourage mutual verification, not in the interest of
fostering rivalry among scientists but in the interest of fostering
the scientific process.  Papers in the verification track should be
identified as such. The IEEE Computer Society will publish the
conference proceedings for MASCOTS 2006.  The symposium scope
includes, but is not limited to:

--   Computer Architecture
--   Modeling and Simulation Techniques
--   Parallel and Distributed Systems
--   Real-Time and Multimedia Systems
--   Internetworking Protocol and Performance
--   Wireless and Mobile Networking and Computing
--   Broadband & Telecommunication Networks and Software
--   Network Traffic Studies
--   Web-Based Systems
--   Application Areas such as Databases, Biotech, Wearables
--   Analysis Techniques and Formal Methods
--   Benchmarking and Measurement Techniques
--   Capacity Planning
--   Performance Analysis and Validation Techniques
--   Workload Characterization and Generation
--   Discrete Event Simulation Methodology and Tools
--   Middleware Performance
--   Parallel / Distributed Simulation

We encourage researchers worldwide to submit both theoretical and
practical results of significance, which have not previously been
published.  Format requirements will be forthcoming.
