- In the last few years, the world of computer communications and
- distributed systems has undergone dramatic changes which led to the
- development of innovative computer networks and distributed systems
- architectures, and created opportunities for new classes of multimedia
- applications. This conference grew out of the urgent need to understand
- these systems as they became more complex.
-
- The purpose of this conference is to serve as a forum for the exchange
- of ideas among researchers from around the world, as well as highlight
- current activities in performance analysis and evaluation of high speed
- communication networks and distributed multimedia technologies.
-
- The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts,
- methodology, and results between authors and the audience. The structure
- of the conference also provides for a degree of collegiality and continuity
- in the discussions of the various topics presented during the week. In
- addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the
- conference, in conjunction with the Western Simulation Multiconference (WMC),
- will offer invited presentations, vendor presentations, and exhibits.
-
- Original technical papers, addressing all aspects of analysis, design,
- modeling, and performance evaluation of communication networks and
- distributed systems, are solicited for presentation at the conference
- and publication in the conference proceedings. Topics of interest include:
-
- o Communication networks o High speed networks, ATM
- o Interconnection networks o Wireless Networks
- o Distributed systems o Mobile Computing
- o Multimedia systems o Real-time systems
- o Database systems o Fault-tolerant systems
- o Computer architecture o Memory systems
- o Operating systems o File and I/O systems
-
-
- Authors are requested to submit five copies (in English) of their
- manuscript by June 30, 1996 to:
-
- Taieb Znati
- Department of Computer Science
- 226, Alumni Hall
- University of Pittsburgh
- Pittsburgh, PA 15260
-
- Papers can also be submitted electronically to znati@cs.pitt.edu or
- directly deposited by anonymous ftp at:
-
- ftp.cs.pitt.edu:/pub/WMC_Conf/Paper-Deposit
-
- Submitted files must be either in dvi or PostScript format with all
- figures and tables included, as created on Unix systems by:
-
- cat paper.ps | compress | uuencode paper.ps.Z > paper.uue
-
- or in most other environments by the `print to file' command with the
- PostScript output format option. Only papers which have not been
- previously published or presented should be submitted.
-
- All submissions will be fully refereed for accuracy, technical content, and
- relevance. Papers should be limited to 20 double-spaced pages (at most 6
- single-spaced pages for the camera-ready version).
- The authors should prepare a single page which includes authors names,
- title, affiliation, abstract, and a contact person information (complete
- address, email, phone, and fax) Accepted papers will appear in
- the Conference's Proceedings to be published by the Society for Computer
- Simulation. An award will be presented to the best paper presented at
- WMC'97. Authors of top papers will also be encouraged to submit a
- follow-on paper to the International Journal in Computer Simulation.
- Authors must obtain employer, client, or government releases prior to
- submittal of the final manuscript.
