TOPICS OF INTEREST

PERFORMANCE, DEPENDABILITY and PERFORMABILITY ANALYSIS are key factors in the development and improvement of computer systems and telecommunication networks. But quantitative system assessment will only become standard practice if supported by widely applicable TECHNIQUES and easily usable TOOLS.

The conference will focus on

• modelling paradigms and model analysis techniques for quantitative system assessment, with an emphasis on their broad applicability;
• software tools for the specification and analysis of quantitative models;
• measurement approaches and tools, with an emphasis on their combination with modelling options;
• case studies of general interest;
• applications of measurement and modelling techniques and tools.
