ASMTA 2012 - 19th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications (ASMTA'12)

19th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications (ASMTA'12)
Grenoble, France, 4-6 June 2012
http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/asmta2012
Overview
Methods of analytical and stochastic modelling are widely used in engineering to assess and design various technical and information systems, like computer and communication networks, software systems, and distributed systems. The ASMTA conference is a main forum for advancing these techniques and their applications and aims to bring together researchers of academia and industry to discuss the latest developments in analytical, numerical and simulation algorithms for stochastic systems, including (non-) Markovian processes, queueing networks, stochastic Petri nets, process algebras, game theory, etc. The conference is co-sponsored by the IEEE UK-RI Computer Chapter and ECMS - The European Council for Modelling and Simulation.
The proceedings of ASMTA'12 will be published as Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (approval pending) which is indexed by SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science.

Paper submission
Full papers reporting original and unpublished research results on ASMTA topics are solicited. Submissions should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere while being evaluated for this conference.
Formatting
The proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions may already be prepared in LNCS format and must not exceed 15 pages, including figures, tables and references; see the information for authors on Springer's web site for formatting instructions. Please clearly indicate the corresponding author.
Easychair
The paper submission for ASMTA 2012 will only be accepted through the easychair Paper Submission System accessible here. Only papers in PDF will be accepted for reviewing. Submissions as e-mail attachment will not be accepted.
Reviewing
Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive rigorous peer reviewing. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Selection will be based on full papers.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. All accepted papers in the conference are expected to be presented and will be included in the conference proceedings.
Best paper award
The ASMTA 2012 Committee will select the best paper of the conference for which a certificate will be presented at the end of the conference.
Important dates
