Performance Tools '95 and MMB'95 Joint Conference

Heidelberg, Germany, 20-22 September 1995

The full version of this 2nd Call for Papers is available.

Design, development and operation of computing and communication systems ought to be accompanied by assessments of their quantitative non-functional properties. Quantitative properties include system performance, reliability, performability. Assessing quantitative properties involves system modelling, wherever possible supported by system measurement. In view of the variety and technical complexity of existing paradigms, model analysis techniques and measurement options, quantitative system assessment will only become standard practice if supported by widely applicable techniques and easily usable tools.

Topics: the conference will focus on

• modelling paradigms and model analysis techniques for quantitative system assessment, with an emphasis on their broad applicability;
• software tools for specification & analysis of quantitative models;
• measurement approaches and tools, with an emphasis on their combination with modelling options;
• case studies for and applications of measurement and modelling techniques and tools.
