******SIGMETRICS 2003 ******
International Conference on
Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems
June 10-14, 2003
San Diego, California
http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/sigm2003
(held in conjunction with FCRC'03 (http://www.acm.org/fcrc)
The SIGMETRICS conference solicits papers on the development and
application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic,
simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques.
We are interested in techniques whose aim is to evaluate a system's
dependability, security, correctness, or power consumption as well as
more traditional performance metrics. Of particular interest is work
that furthers the state of the art in performance evaluation methods,
or that creatively applies previously developed methods to gain
important insights into key design trade-offs in complex computer and
communication systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of communication
networks, Internet servers, computer architectures, database
systems, operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems,
mobile and handheld systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems,
real-time systems, and dependable systems, including case studies
and performance-evaluation tools.
- Performance methodology techniques, algorithms, and tools for
analytic modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model
verification and validation, workload characterization, simulation,
statistical analysis, stochastic modeling including queues,
stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, experimental
design, reliability and availability analysis, power analysis,
performance optimizations, and hybrid models.
Submission Guidelines
=====================
- Papers: On October 25, 2002, authors must submit the title,
abstract, and author list (with affiliations) for their intended
submission. Submissions of the full papers are due on November 1,
2002 and should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages, including figures
and tables. Papers must be submitted electronically in printable
postscript or PDF form. All submissions will be reviewed using a
double-blind review process. The identity of the authors and
referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind
reviewing, authors' names and affiliations MUST NOT appear in the
paper; bibliographic references must be made in such as way as to
preserve author anonymity. See the web site for more information on
submission.
- 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, the titles of their talks, and a short abstract of
each talk.
- Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the main
conference. Send proposals of no more than 1 or 2 pages (for
90-minute or 3-hour tutorials) to the tutorials chair. Include the
proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience,
assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation, contact
information (e-mail and phone), and brief biography of speaker(s).
Postscript or PDF is preferred.

*******************************************************************************
Conference: Second Workshop on Evaluating and Architecting System
dependabilitY (EASY-02)
Submission date: July 19, 2002
Web site: http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/EASY/
Workshop date: October 6, 2002
Contact email: kkeeton@hpl.hp.com
The Second Workshop on Evaluating and Architecting System
dependabilitY (EASY-02) will be held immediately preceding ASPLOS-X.
The goal of the workshop is to increase the dialog between the
architecture, operating systems, programming languages and dependable
systems communities on dependability-related topics.
The program committee seeks full (eight to ten page) papers on
dependability of all aspects of the system, including processor and
memory chips, network and storage devices, cluster and SMP
multiprocessing, operating systems software, application software, and
programming language support. To maximize interest among the
communities, preference will be given to empirical or practical
studies, as opposed to formal or theoretical studies.

Second Workshop on Evaluating and Architecting System dependabilitY (EASY)
http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/EASY/
Sunday, 6 October 2002, San Jose, California, U.S.A.
Immediately precedes the Tenth International Conference on Architectural
Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS-X)
Workshop Description
Although end customers of systems care about performance, there is mounting
evidence to suggest that they care even more about system availability,
manageability and scalability. Despite the importance of these
characteristics, benchmarking organizations such as SPEC or TPC do not
currently have strategies for evaluating them. These organizations look to
researchers to propose methodologies and benchmarks that can be incorporated
into their suites. Unfortunately, no one research community is well-suited
to develop such benchmarks. The computer architecture, fault-tolerant
systems, operating systems and database communities each have over twenty
years of research experience in their respective domains, yet there is very
little overlap between the communities.
The first EASY workshop was held in 2001, before the co-located ISCA and DSN
conferences in Göteborg, Sweden. It served as a unique opportunity to start
a dialog between the computer architecture and dependability communities on
these topics. Several high-level lessons emerged from the discussions at the
workshop:
* Researchers are frustrated by the lack of publicly available failure
data upon which to calibrate dependability models, and to use as inputs
to fault injection techniques.
* As all components of a system affect its dependability, discussions of
end-to-end dependability benefit from input from the system and
application software communities as well as the architecture and
dependability communities.
* The role of the human (as end user or administrator) is an important
(perhaps the most important), but not well-explored, contribution to
the failures of systems.
* Many systems researchers are unaware of techniques developed by the
dependability community.
The goals of the EASY-02 workshop are to expand the dialog to include
researchers in the operating systems and programming language communities.
The workshop is intended to foster interactive discussion between the ASPLOS
communities on the evaluation of computer system dependability, to offer a
forum for presentation of cutting-edge industrial techniques for increasing
system availability (e.g., from system vendors' five nine's programs,
processor and memory design teams, operating system designers, etc.), to
provide a forum for development and formalization of techniques for
evaluating system dependability, and to explore the possibility of creating
an industry/academic consortium to serve as a clearinghouse for collecting
realistic system and component failure model data.
We envision a highly interactive and interdisciplinary program, including a
combination of refereed paper presentations, invited speakers, and a panel
session. We plan to leverage the workshop's location in San Jose, near
Silicon Valley, to attract local industry dependability experts to
participate as invited speakers and panelists on the topics of evaluating
and architecting system dependability.
Call for Papers
We seek full (eight to ten page) papers on dependability of all aspects of
the system, including processor and memory chips, network and storage
devices, cluster and SMP multiprocessing, operating systems software,
application software, and programming language support. To maximize interest
among the communities, preference will be given to empirical or practical
studies, as opposed to formal or theoretical studies. Topics include, but
are not restricted to, the following:
* Fault models for systems, hardware components, software components and
user behavior, supported by empirical measurements.
* Techniques for evaluating system dependability.
* Approaches for building highly-dependable systems.
Please send position papers to one of the workshop organizers:
* Kimberly Keeton, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, kkeeton@hpl.hp.com
* Steven Lumetta, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
lumetta@uiuc.edu
Electronic submissions are preferred, and must be in a standard format (PDF
or Postscript), render without error using standard tools (Acrobat Reader or
Ghostview), and print on both A4 and US-Letter sized paper.
Important Deadlines
* July 19, 2002: Paper submissions due
* August 9, 2002: Notification to authors
* September 13, 2002: Camera-ready papers due
