    Performance TOOLS 2002

    12th International Conference on Modelling Tools and Techniques for Computer and Communication System Performance Evaluation

    Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine London, UK, April 14,15-17 2002

    Welcome to the Tools2002 web site.

    In the run up to the conference, we are now ready to receive your registration details by facsimile using a form available below. The Imperial College accomodation office has provided a number of excellent rooms for delegates a couple of minutes' gentle stroll from the tutorials and conference venue. Details of the tutorials and conference running order are given below. We have reserved space on the London Eye for the evening of Monday April 15th, and we will be holding the banquet on Tuesday evening at the excellent Bistrot 190.

    SCOPE

    The primary aim of the `Performance Tools' conference series is to further the theory and technology for tool-based performance evaluation of computer and communication systems, including high-performance, parallel and distributed systems. Important themes for the 12th of this successful conference series include (but are not restricted to):

    • software tools for system performance and evaluation
    • simulation techniques
    • analytical modelling techniques
    • optimisation
    • performance monitoring/measurement
    • stochastic process algebra modelling
    • stochastic petri net modelling
    • other formal performance methodologies
    • parallel and distributed performance modelling techniques
    • case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
    • applications including high speed networking, mobile communication and the internet
    INVITED SPEAKERS

    We have two invited speakers, this year. We are pleased to have:

    • Professor Onno Boxma, Eindhoven University of Technology
    • Peter Key, Microsoft Research
