UKPEW 2012

UKPEW is the leading UK forum for the presentation of all aspects of performance modelling and analysis of computer and telecommunication systems. Original papers are invited on all relevant topics but papers on or related to the subjects listed below are particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Stochastic modelling of computer systems and networks
• Tools for all aspects of performance engineering from workload characterisation to operational analysis
• Modelling paradigms including, but not limited to: Stochastic Process Algebras, Stochastic Petri Nets and Queueing Theory
• Solution and simplification techniques for large Markov processes
• Formal notations for performance modelling
• Modelling and analysis of reliability and performance guarantees
• Performance-oriented design methods
• Novel techniques in computer system simulation
• Case studies and industrial reports
• Experience and evaluation of existing tools and techniques
• Cloud computing

This workshop is the primary event at which the UK performance community can get together to present and discuss their work. Whilst primarily aimed at UK based performance engineers, we also welcome contributions from researchers working in other countries and those whose interest in performance is derived from experience in other fields. It provides an ideal opportunity for academics, industrialists and PhD students to relate experience and to present both finished work and work in progress. The event has been organised to sustain the atmosphere of informality that previous UKPEWs have fostered.

Paper submission to UKPEW is now closed but camera-ready versions of accepted papers are being accepted.

Your revised paper should be formatted in the Springer-Verlag LNCS style and should not exceed 16 pages in length. Please submit the camera-ready version of your paper as a compressed archive (tar.gz or zip) of a folder containing all of the LaTeX sources of your paper (including macro files, BibTeX files, PS and PDF graphics) sent by email to Stephen.Gilmore@ed.ac.uk

Papers will not be included for publication in the workshop proceedings unless at least one author of the paper has registered for the workshop.

The programme for UKPEW 2012 is given below. A printable version in PDF format is also available.

The registration fee includes attendance at the workshop, lunch, and tea/coffee breaks between sessions.

There are two registration fees for UKPEW 2012.

• Early registration fee: £175.
• Late registration fee: £225.

The deadline for early registration is midnight on 1st June 2012 (UK time) so you must register before then to avoid paying the late registration fee.

The venue for UKPEW 2012 is the Informatics Forum, 10 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB, Scotland.

Completed in 2008, the Forum is a major new building for the University of Edinburgh, housing the School of Informatics. It is centrally located in the city of Edinburgh within easy reach of Edinburgh Waverley train station.

Free wi-fi is available at UKPEW via eduroam (education roaming). Before coming to the symposium you should check whether your own institution has set up eduroam. If so, then you or your network administration should configure your laptop to enable eduroam access using your own institution's authentication. It will not be possible for us to do this for you when you arrive here.
