*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

Modeling and Simulation for Performance Evaluation of Computer-based
Systems (MaSPECS 2021)
June 9 - 11, 2021, online
to be held under the umbrella of
The 35nd International ECMS Conference on Modeling and Simulation (ECMS 2021)

***********************************

SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION

The aim of Modeling and Simulation for Performance Evaluation of
Computer-based Systems (MaSPECS) is to continue the mission of its
ancestor High Performance Modeling and Simulation (HiPMoS) and present
innovative academic and industrial research, methods, and techniques
related to all aspects of modeling and simulation that employ
high-performance computing technologies or about high performance
systems. Contribution can range from concepts and theoretical
developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Modelling, simulation, analysis and (generalized) performance
evaluation of Large and very large scale distributed and parallel
computing systems, Complex computer based systems, Cyberphysical
systems, Mobile systems, Real time systems, Dependable systems,
Critical systems, Hybrid systems, Information and Telecommunication
systems, High performance networks, Intelligent networks, Industrial
systems, Big Data applications;
- Queueing systems, stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process
algebras, Markov chains, non-Markovian models, fluid models, network
calculus;
- Quantitative evaluation techniques related to Performance,
Dependability, Security, Survivability, Safety, Real time constraints,
Cost, Energy-efficiency and combined aspects like performance-security
tradeoffs;
- Statistical methods for the analysis of information systems;
- Theory of Multiformalism and Multiparadigm modeling and applications
to Distributed systems, Complex computer based systems, Critical
systems, Hybrid systems, Cyberphysical systems;
- Advances and advanced applications in Cloud, Grid and Data Intensive
Computing and Data Mining, Social Networks, Security Awareness and
Energy Effectiveness in Distributed Data and Information Management,
Parallel and Distributed Meta- and Hyper-Heuristics, e-Health large
scale systems, Large parallel and distributed multi-agent systems,
Intelligent scheduling, Resource allocation and management in P2P,
Grid, Cluster, Cloud, Edge computing and Big Data oriented systems,
Biologically inspired modeling and simulation;
- Data Science applications to WSN, Computer based systems, Critical
systems, Large scale computer based infrastructures, Large scale
control and supervision systems.
