*** Scope and Topics

The MASCOTS conference is a well-established forum for state-of-the-art research on the measurement, modeling, and performance analysis of computer systems and networks, and is sponsored by the IEEE and in technical cooperation with the ACM SIGSIM (pending approval). The 19th edition of this conference will take place July 25-27, 2011 in the Raffles Hotel, Singapore. The conference will bring together academics and industry practitioners to present and discuss their latest research results. The technical program for the 3-day conference will include keynote talks, refereed full and work-in-progress papers.

We encourage researchers world-wide to submit original technical papers describing their latest research work in the areas of:

- Measurement studies;
- Performance evaluation methodologies;
- Industrial practice and experience; or
- Theoretical results

Topics of interest include:

- Computer Architecture
- Computer Networks
- Distributed/Parallel Systems
- Internetworking Protocols
- Multimedia Systems
- Pervasive Web and Mobility
- Sensor Networks
- Storage Systems
- Web-based Systems
- Wireless Networks

*** Full Papers

Submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and references),formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size no less than 10 point.

*** Work-in-Progress Papers

Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. Unsuccessful full paper submissions will be also considered for as a work-in-progress paper where appropriate. Work-in-progress paper submissions may be up to 4 pages in length (including figures and references).

*** Submission

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE press.

IMPORTANT: ATTENDANCE BY AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR IS MANDATORY
