| Synopsis: |
| The International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST) is the leading forum on evaluation and verification of computer systems and networks, through stochastic models and measurements, possibly incorporating non-deterministic behavior. Quantitative properties of interest include performance, reliability, availability, safety, security, survivability, correctness, timeliness, and efficiency. In short, QEST aims to create a sound methodological basis for assessing and designing trustworthy computing systems and networks. |

NetEcon | |
| Title: | Workshop on the Economics of Networked Systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-03-27 |
| Webpage: | http://issg.cs.duke.edu/netecon06/ |
| Dates: | June 11, 2006 |
| Location: | Ann Arbor, Michigan |
| Contact Email: | chase@cs.duke.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| NetEcon merges two workshops held in previous years: P2PEcon (Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems) and PINS (Practice and Theory of Incentives in Networked Systems). The workshop solicits 6-page position papers that will promote a cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas on the role of incentives and game-theoretic or economic principles in the design and analysis of networked systems. Contexts of particular interest for this workshop include Internet routing and traffic control, peer-to-peer services, distributed hosting platforms (utilities or grids), and wireless mesh networks. |
UbiComp 2006 | |
| Title: | The Eighth International Conference on Ubiquituous Computing (UbiComp'06) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-03-31 |
| Webpage: | http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2006/ |
| Dates: | September 17-21, 2006 |
| Location: | Newport Beach, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | matthias@hcilab.org |
| Synopsis: |
| Ubicomp is the premier international forum for research in ubiquitous computing, bringing together designers, computer scientists, social scientists, and artists, to discuss recent developments and future advance. Orange County is located in coastal Southern California, south of Los Angeles and north of San Diego. Typical September weather is sunny and dry with temperatures around 25C. We invite you to submit original, high-quality research contributions in all program categories, including full papers, demonstrations, posters, videos, and the doctoral colloquium. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | MASCOTS 2006 |
| Title: | 14th International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-04-10 |
| Webpage: | http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/mascots06/ |
| Dates: | September, 11-13, 2006 |
| Location: | Monterey, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | tjschwarz@scu.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| We encourage researchers worldwide to submit both theoretical and practical results of significance that have not previously been published. Mascots 2006 will include a new track on the experimental verification of past, important results and techniques. Papers for this track will be judged on the importance of the original results and on the accuracy and completeness of the experiments, not on the outcome of the verification. Papers in the verification track should be identified as such. The proceedings of the conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. |
SRUTI 2006 | |
| Title: | Steps to Reducing Unwanted Traffic on the Internet (SRUTI'06) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2006-04-20 |
| Webpage: | http://www.usenix.org/events/sruti06/ |
| Dates: | July 6-7, 2006 |
| Location: | San Jose, CA, USA |
| Contact Email: | lakshmi@cs.nyu.edu |
| Synopsis: |
| The Internet is under increasing attack with unwanted traffic in the form of spam, distributed denial of service, virus, worms, etc. Unwanted traffic on the Internet has manifested itself as attacks via many protocols and popular applications. Original research, promising ideas, and steps toward practical solutions are sought. We look for ideas in networking and systems, and insights from other areas such as databases, data mining, and economics. Submissions must contribute to improving the current understanding of unwanted traffic and/or suggestions for reducing it. To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance will be by invitation and/or acceptance of paper submission. |

HotDep will center on critical components of the infrastructures touching our everyday lives: operating systems, networking, security, wide-area and enterprise-scale distributed systems, mobile computing, compilers, and language design. We seek participation and contributions from both academic researchers and industry practitioners to achieve a mix of long-range research vision and technology ideas anchored in immediate reality. |

ABOUT SIGOPS-ANNOUNCEThe SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE mailing list is intended to provide a low-volume channel that provides operating systems researchers and practitioners with information about upcoming events or other important announcements. In general, a message containing a group of such announcements will be sent about once per month with the subject line "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE monthly posting". On rare occasions, announcements of particular interest or urgency will be sent out with a different subject line, starting with "SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE supplemental posting" (for readers who wish to use mail filtering programs.) Finally, this mailing list is made available for use by publicity chairs of SIGOPS-sponsored conferences and the SIGOPS officers.To subscribe, send a message to LISTSERV@ACM.ORG with the following command (paste it!) in the body of the message: SUBSCRIBE SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE To unsubscribe, send a message to LISTSERV@ACM.ORG with the following command in the body of the message: UNSUBSCRIBE SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE For more information about manipulating your subscription to this list, go to http://www.acm.org/infodir/services/listserv/doc.html. To contact the owner of the list or to report a problem with the list, email SIGOPS-ANNOUNCE-request@ACM.ORG.
