The complexity of computer systems,
networks and applications, as well as the advancements in computer technology,
continue to grow at a rapid pace. Mathematical analysis, modeling and
optimization are playing an important role in research studies to investigate
fundamental issues and tradeoffs at the core of performance problems in the
design and implementation of complex computer systems, networks and
applications.
The Ninth Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis (MAMA
2007) seeks to bring together researchers working on the mathematical,
methodological and theoretical aspects of performance analysis, modeling and
optimization. It is intended to provide a forum at SIGMETRICS conferences for
talks on early research in the more mathematical areas of computer performance
analysis. These talks tend to be based on very recent research results
(including work in progress) or on new research results that will be otherwise
submitted only to a journal (or recently have been submitted to a journal).
Thus, part of the goal is to complement and supplement the SIGMETRICS
Conference program with such talks without removing any theoretical
contributions from the main technical program.
This year's workshop will be held on June 13 (before the main SIGMETRICS
technical program). In addition to the presentation of extended abstracts, the
workshop will include time for informal technical discussions among the
speakers and attendees.
