pediswesa 2012 - Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Communications in Distributed Systems and Wed based Service Architectures

Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Performance
Evaluation of Communications in Distributed
Systems and Wed based Service Architectures
July 1-4 2012, Cappadocia, Turkey
Organized In conjuction with the seventeenth IEEE symposium
on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2012)
Performance evaluation remains a topic of significant concern in the area
of distributed and mobile systems as well as for Web-based services
architectures. With the recent advances in Internet based applications as
well as distributed and mobile communication systems, we are witnessing
the sustained emergence of various new technologies, with new performance
characterization.
Furthermore, these systems are becoming very large and complex at the
same time. Several challenges remain to be resolved before these systems
can become a commodity; typically guaranteeing QoS and provisioning of
Web-based systems as well as distributed and mobile systems and
evaluating their communication performance stand among the most challenging
problems in the design of these systems.
Quantitative analysis can be very difficult to perform, and even
intractable because of the size of the state space. Promising new methods
and tools have recently emerged for such complex
systems, such as Stochastic Automata Networks, Stochastic bounds, PEPA,
just to mention a few.
This workshop focus on the performance evaluation of both distributed
and mobile systems, as well as Web based services architectures using both
analytical methods and simulation studies.
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research
related to QoS and communication performance evaluation of these systems.
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be
under review by another conference or journal.

PEDISWESA 2012 focuses on the performance evaluation of both distributed
and mobile systems, as well as Web based services architectures using both
analytical methods and simulation studies.
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research
related to QoS and communication performance evaluation of these systems.
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be
under review by another conference or journal.
We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not
limited to:
? Performance evaluation of distributed and mobile systems
? Performance evaluation of distributed and web-based systems
? Measurement, analysis and modeling
? Tools and software for performance evaluation
? Simulation and measurements techniques
? QoS for Web services architectures
? Web services composition
? Quantitative analysis and Stochastic models
? Network Protocols design for Web service devices
? Routing optimization and Bandwidth management
Contribution format:
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently
under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Full papers
should be limited to 6 pages (in IEEE double column format), including
text, figures and references. Two additional pages (i.e. 8 pages in total)
may be allowed but will be charged additional fees.
Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier,
Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent.
Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. All papers will be
reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in
the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.
The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will
be presented at the conference.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference
in order for that paper to appear in the IEEE proceedings and to be
scheduled for presentation.
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised
and extended version of their papers after the workshop to a related
special issue of the Journal of Computational Science, Elsevier.
