The 27th Annual UK Performance Engineering Workshop
(UKPEW 2011)

July 7 & 8, 2011
University of Bradford, UK

Website: http://www.inf.brad.ac.uk/ukpew11/

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

Due to numerous requests the submission deadline has been extended to April 29, 2011.

UKPEW is the leading UK forum for the presentation of all aspects of performance modelling and analysis of computer and telecommunication systems. Original papers are invited on all relevant topics but papers on or related to the subjects listed below are particularly welcome.

This workshop is the primary event at which the UK performance engineering community can get together to present and discuss their work. Whilst primarily aimed at UK based performance engineers, we also welcome contributions from researchers working in other countries and those whose interest in performance is derived from experience in other fields.

UKPEW provides an ideal opportunity for academics, industrialists and PhD students to relate experience and to present both finished work and work in progress.
The event has been organised to sustain the atmosphere of informality that previous UKPEWs have fostered. As well as sessions for presenting the papers submitted,
it will also be possible to organise a session of short presentations of work in progress. In a change to previous workshops, this year will include an industrial exhibition of networking and security applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Stochastic modelling of computer systems and computer networks

Tools for all aspects of performance engineering

Workload characterisation to operational analysis

Modelling paradigms, including Stochastic Process Algebras, Stochastic Petri Nets and Queueing Theory

Solution and simplification techniques for large Markov processes

Modelling and analysis of reliability and performance guarantees

Performance-oriented design methods

Novel techniques in computer system simulation

Methods for performance prediction

Performance case studies and industrial reports

Experience and evaluation of existing tools and techniques

Performance issues in Wireless, Mobile, Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks

Performance issues in Grid markets and the Grid economy

Performance considerations in Cloud Computing

Network security and performance
