The aim of the <b>Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools</b> conference is to build bridges between these communities, bringing theory and practice together in order to: </p> <ul> <li> <p align="justify">compare and debate the complete range of performance evaluation methodologies and their implementation into tools;</li> <li> <p align="justify">promote interdisciplinary flow of technical information among industry systems designers and researchers. </ul> <h2>Conference Topics and Application Areas</h2> Performance evaluation techniques will draw from the following: <ul> <li>Advanced simulation tools: simulation of rare events, parallel/distributed simulations, variance reduction techniques, large deviations</li> <li>Stochastic processes: stochastic geometry, long-range dependence, self-similarity, point processes, traffic models and measurements</li> <li>Discrete event systems: petri nets, max-plus algebra</li> <li>Queueing theory: network calculus, analytical models, approximation methods, (in)sensitivity, dynamic fluid models, diffusion models, Dam processes, perturbation approaches, control of queues</li> </ul> <p>Envisaged applications are drawn from, but are not restricted to, the following areas: </p> <ul> <li>Networking</li> <li>Computer Systems</li> <li>Communication Systems</li> <li>Distributed Systems</li> <li>Road Traffic</li> <li>Call Centers</li> <li>Optimization (including game theory and convex optimization)</li> <li>Graph Theory (including random graphs)</li> <li>Interdisciplinary Methodologies (economic, biological and social models)</li> </ul> <p> <br> <br> Join us in Pisa for VALUETOOLS 2009!</li> </p> </ul> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
