CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
11th
International Conference on
ANALYTICAL and STOCHASTIC MODELLING TECHNIQUES and APPLICATIONS
(
ASMTA'04 )
The conference is organized by
SCS-Europe
(The Society for Computer Simulation
International)
jointly with the
18th European Simulation Multiconference
URL: http://wwwisg.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/sim/esm2004/index.html
MOTIVATION:
This Conference is a continuation of the series of Conferences in Analytical, Numerical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques held as a part of European Simulation Multiconferences. Taking into account the complexity of real models of complex technical and information systems, methods of stochastic modelling based on analytical and approximate results for Markov and semi-Markov stochastic processes, queueing networks, Petri nets, Process algebras, etc. have recently become increasingly popular.
In many fields of applications involving performance and reliability modelling of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, communication networks, flexible manufacturing systems and workflow management systems, it has been widely recognized that analytical and approximate approaches in stochastic modelling can successfully complement simulation methods. There are still many important and interesting problems to be resolved such as those involving stochastic Petri nets and queueing networks with complex structure, multiple job classes under various blocking mechanisms and synchronization constrains, problems of self-organization in neuron networks, etc. In these and many other models methods based on analytical or approximate analytical results are more preferable comparatively to methods of direct stochastic simulation, because in general they save the time of computation and give possibility to obtain analytical dependencies of parameters.
Contributions based on analytical, numerical, stochastic and approximate methods in modelling as well as applications are encouraged but not restricted to the following topics:
Topics:
* Techniques and Algorithms:
- Stochastic Models, Markov Models

- Stochastic Precedence Graphs
- Stochastic Simulation
- Statistical Analysis and Interference
- Analytical and Numerical Simulation
* Evaluation Studies of:
- Computer Systems and Information
Networks
- Workflow Management Systems
- Communication Systems and networks (LANs and Distributed Systems, ATM
Switches, High speed networks,)
- Wireless and mobile systems and networks (WLAN, 2G-3G-4G Mobile systems and networks, Ad hoc networks)
- Embedded Systems
- Workload Modelling and Characterization
- Operating Systems
- Client-Server Systems
- Multimedia Systems
- Measurements and Hybrid Techniques

PAPER SUBMISSION
·
Papers reporting original and unpublished
research results on ASMTA topics are solicited.
Submission should include, on the cover page, authors names,
affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Please
indicate clearly the corresponding author. Include up to 5 keywords from the
above list and an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please submit an
electronic copy of your full manuscript (not to exceed 10 double-spaced pages
including figures, tables, and references to the Conference Chair: Khalid Al-Begain with
copy to esm2004@scs-europe.org. Electronic submissions will be accepted in MS
Word, PDF or PS formats sent to the email above. The subject of the email must
be “ASMTA 2004.” Consistent with standard practice, each submitted
paper will receive a minimum of three reviews.
Accepted papers will need to be formatted according to the SCS Publication Guidelines. Papers will be selected based on their
originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.
Initial selection will be based on full papers. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper,
if accepted. All accepted papers in the conference are expected to be presented
and will be included in the conference proceedings (both print and CD), which
will be copyrighted and widely disseminated.
