Scope:
======

The performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of ubiquitous computing and networked systems have been an important research topic over the past years and poses challenging problems that require new tools and methods to keep up with the rapid evolution and increasing complexity of such systems.

This workshop will bring together scientists, engineers, practitioners, and computer users to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of ubiquitous computing and networked systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-- Predictive performance models of ubiquitous computing systems
-- Predictive performance models of wired and wireless networks
-- Performance measurement and monitoring tools
-- Tracing and trace analysis
-- Analytical modelling and simulations
-- Software tools for system performance and evaluation
-- Automatic performance analysis
-- Performance comparison
-- Traffic Modeling, Engineering and Control
-- Performance of memory and I/O interconnect
-- Performance of communication networks
-- Performance of interconnection networks and Network-On-Chip
-- Performance of mobile distributed systems
-- Performance analysis and evaluation of ubiquitous computing and networked applications
-- Improvement in system performance through optimization and tuning
-- Advanced simulation tools, Queuing theory and stochastic processes
-- Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems

Paper Submission:
=================

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. The length of the papers should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format (or postscript) by sending it as an e-mail attachment to Dr. Xiaolong Jin (x.jin@bradford.ac.uk). All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. The accepted papers will be published together with those of other IPDPS'2010 workshops by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
