   Conference dates:            October 6-10, 2002
   Location:                    San Jose, CA.

   Further details and submission information:
        http://www.cs.wisc.edu/asplos-X/

ASPLOS is a multi-disciplinary conference, cross-fertilizing research in
areas of hardware, architecture, compilers, operating systems, networking,
and applications.  It has captured some of the major computer systems
innovations of the past 10-15 years. ASPLOS is co-sponsored by ACM
SIGARCH, SIGOPS, and SIGPLAN.

Like its predecessors, the tenth ASPLOS conference will focus on
ground-breaking multi-disciplinary research.  In addition, the
program committee welcomes research papers on a wide range of
non-traditional topics provided they emphasize the multi-disciplinary
aspects of their work.  As ASPLOS expands its scope, we encourage
questions to the Program Chair regarding suitability of a topic.
Full papers are solicited on, but not limited to, these topics:

      . Interaction of operating systems, compilers, programming languages,
        and architectures
      . Hardware/software issues for new form-factor devices, from
        wireless PDA's to wall-sized displays
      . Hardware/software platform issues focusing on Internet services
      . Hardware/software platforms for delivering graphics and multimedia
      . Embedding computation and storage (e.g., caches) within the
        network
      . Case studies of hardware/software design in novel experimental
        systems
      . Studies of Internet applications and services with implications
        for systems
      . Performance evaluation of experimental systems
      . Effect of future VLSI technology and emerging applications on
        architectures, operating systems or compilers

IFIP W.G. 7.3 International Symposium on
Computer Performance Modeling, Measurement and Evaluation

September 22 - 27, 2002
Rome, Italy

Performance2002 conference solicits superior papers on the development and
application of state-of-the-art analytic, simulation, and
measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular
interest this year is work that applies performance evaluation
methodologies to design and evaluation issues in important new areas such
as: Internet and Web performance, Web server software and architecture
performance, active networks, content distribution networks, network and
server QoS, and security. Papers that advance the state-of-the-art in
evaluation methods or that creatively apply methods to system design
issues are also solicited.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

* Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of: communication
  networks,  Web architectures, computer architectures, database systems,
  operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems, file and I/O
  systems, memory systems, real-time systems, and fault-tolerant systems.
* Techniques and algorithms for: analytic modeling, performance
  optimization, stochastic modeling, model verification and validation,
  experimental design, system measurement and monitoring, reliability
  analysis, workload characterization, simulation, and statistical
  analysis.

Submission Guidelines

Papers: Full papers should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages including
figures, tables and references. A limited number of submitted papers will
be accepted for a poster session. Authors wishing to have their work
considered for the poster session may submit a short paper that should not
exceed 5 double-spaced pages. All papers must be submitted electronically
in printable Postscript or PDF form through the Conference Web site
(http://www.uniroma2.it/eventi/Performance2002). If you encounter problems
with the automatic submission, send your file to colajanni@unimo.it or to
mss@watson.ibm.com
If you cannot generate a ps or pdf file, please mail six hardcopies of the
paper to:
Europe:                                         America, Asia and
Australia:

Full papers will be published in a special issue of the journal
Performance Evaluation, Elsevier North Holland, which will be available at
the conference.

Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the conference.
Send tutorial proposals of 3-4 pages to the tutorials chair
(mcc@alice.unipv.it) in printable Postscript or PDF form. Include the
proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience,
duration, assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation and
brief biography of speaker(s), the level of the tutorial (introductory,
intermediate, or advanced), and whether the covered material is applied or
theoretical. As we intend to publish a book of survey papers on the
tutorial topics, the author(s) should specify their availability to
contribute to this book with a paper not exceeding 30 double-spaced pages
including figures, tables and references.

Hot Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for sessions in which a group
of speakers will present and discuss their ideas or recent results in a
hot and/or controversial area of research. Send proposals for these
sessions to the Hot Topic Sessions chair (zhenl@us.ibm.com), identifying
the name, affiliation and brief biography of the organizer(s) of the
session, the session title, and a list of possible speakers. The
submission should also indicate whether or not the session will include
some published material (which is not required).

Awards
The award committee will assign the "best paper" and the "best student
paper" awards. Student papers eligible for "best student paper" award must
have a full-time student as the first author, indicated on the first page.
