-------
The MASCOTS conference encourages original submissions describing
state-of-the-art research in the areas of the performance evaluation of
computer systems and networks.

Papers describing results of theoretic and/or practical significance
are solicited. Experimental, modeling, and simulation studies are all
in the scope of the conference. Work presenting novel performance
evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime
management tradeoffs are particularly encouraged.

Broad topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

o Big data and machine learning techniques for performance analysis and management
o Computer architectures, multi-core processors, and memory systems
o Computer networks, protocols, and algorithms
o Databases and big data systems and technologies
o Distributed and cloud computing
o Energy efficient computer systems
o Mobile systems
o Multimedia systems
o Operating systems and virtualization
o Security in computer and communication systems
o Smart grids and cyber-physical systems
o Social networks
o Storage and file systems
o Web systems, enterprise applications and web services
o Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks
