Date of event: June 2, 2008 until June 6, 2008
Submission deadline: November 2, 2007

The ACM SIGMETRICS conference solicits papers on the development and
application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation,
and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular
interest is work that furthers the state-of-the-art in performance
evaluation methods, or those that creatively apply previously developed
methods to understand or to gain important insights into key design
trade-offs in com- puter or network systems. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

networks, Internet servers, computer architectures, database systems,
operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems, file and storage
systems, memory systems, real-time systems, sensor networks, and fault-
tolerant systems.

modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model verification and
validation, workload characterization, simulation, statistical analysis,
stochastic modeling, experimental design, reliability analysis, performance
optimization, and hybrid models.

      Papers: Papers should not exceed 12 pages double column including
figures and tables in standard ACM format. Papers must be submitted
electronically in printable pdf form; for detailed submission instructions,
refer to the above URL. All submissions will be reviewed using a
double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not
be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors' names and
affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should
be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.

      Hot Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for a hot topic session,
in which a group of speakers will present and discuss their recent results
in an area. Send proposals to the program chairs, identifying the organizer
of the session, the session title, three to five speakers, and the title and
short abstract of each talk.

      Workshops: One or more workshops will immediately precede the main
conference. Send 1-2 page proposals to the general chair. Include the
proposed title, brief description of topics, intended audience, and
membership of workshop organizing committee. Proposals must be submitted
electronically in printable pdf, or plain text.

      Tutorials: Tutorials will immediately precede the main conference.
Send proposals of no more than 1-2 pages for 90 minute or 3 hours tutorials
to the general chair. Include the proposed title, brief description of
material, intended audience, assumed background of attendees, and the name,
affiliation, contact information (email & phone) and brief biography of
speaker(s). Proposals must be submitted electronically in printable pdf, or
plain text.
