The MASCOTS 2023 conference encourages original submissions describing state-of-the-art research in the areas of the performance evaluation of computer systems and networks as well as in related areas.

Papers describing results of theoretical and/or practical significance are solicited. Experimental, modelling and simulation studies are all in the scope of the conference.

Works focusing on novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime management tradeoffs are particularly encouraged.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Big data and advanced machine learning techniques for system design, optimization and cybersecurity
Combining quality of service and cybersecurity in system performance
Cloud/edge/fog technologies
Computer architectures, multi-core processors, accelerators (e.g., GPUs), and memory systems
Computer networks, protocols and algorithms
Databases and big data systems and technologies
Energy efficient computer systems
Internet of Things
Mobile systems
Multimedia systems
Operating systems and virtualization technologies
Security in computer and communication systems
Smart grids and cyber-physical systems
Social networks
Storage and file systems
Sustainable (or energy-efficient) computing
Web systems, enterprise applications and web services
Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc and sensor networks

Submissions must be formatted in IEEE style using two-columns and may be up to 8 pages in length, including tables, figures, appendices, and references.

The Proceedings of MASCOTS 2023 will be published in IEEEXplore (approval pending).

A selection of the accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue in the Performance Evaluation (PEVA) journal. Papers that are not accepted for the conference program will be considered for the MASCOTS’23 Workshop and, if accepted, may then be published in another Open Access venue.
