Houses of Parliaments
London, United Kingdom - JUNE 11-15, 2012

Welcome!

SIGMETRICS and Performance are respectively the flagship conferences of the ACM special interest group for the computer systems performance evaluation community and of the IFIP working group WG7.3 on performance modeling and analysis. Every 3 years, the two conferences join, and this is the 12th joint conference.

The conference has accepted high quality papers on the development and application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic, simulation and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques. Of particular interest to attendees will be contributions that present new performance evaluation methods or that creatively apply previously developed methods to make predictions about, or gain insights into key design trade-offs in, computer and networked systems. The main conference will last three days, 12-14 June 2012, and have two keynote speakers: Naresh Patel and Zhen Liu. A day of tutorials will precede and a day of workshops will follow the main conference.
