                      Preliminary Call for Papers
      
      
                   1985 ACM SIGMETRICS Conference on
              Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems
      
      
             Late August 1985 (exact date to be announced)
                             Austin, Texas
      
      
      
      This conference is a forum for  presenting  state-of-the-art
      work  in  both practical and theoretical aspects of computer
      systems performance.  Because the conference interprets per-
      formance  in  the broadest way, papers spanning the spectrum
      from the performance of single chips  to  computer  networks
      are  solicited.   Appropriate  subjects include case studies
      yielding insight about the  evaluation  methodology  or  the
      system  under study, new modeling techniques addressing sig-
      nificant problem areas, and the use of performance  modeling
      in  the  design of hardware and software systems.  Topics of
      interest include, but are not limited to:
      
      
      * General and special purpose      * Reliability modeling
        parallel processors
      
      * Scheduling and resource          * Database systems modeling
        allocation
      
      * Computer communication           * Software performance
        networks                           modeling
      
      * Comparative studies of           * Exact and approximate
        architectural and                  solution algorithms for
        programming features               queueing networks
      
      * Parallel and vector simulation
        techniques
      
      
      By February 4, 1985, SIX  copies  of  each  submission  must
      reach the program co-chairman:
      
      
                             Daniel A. Reed
                     Department of Computer Science
                      1304 West Springfield Avenue
                         University of Illinois
                        Urbana, Illinois  61801
      
      
      Papers  should  be  no  longer  than  5000  words.    Author
      identification  should  appear  only  in  a  separate  cover
      letter; all papers will be refereed blind.  Proceedings will
      be  published  as  a special issue of Performance Evaluation
      Review, the SIGMETRICS quarterly journal.  Papers of  excep-
      tional  merit  will  also be submitted to a refereed journal
      for possible publication.
