 *********************************************************************

An international forum for state-of-the-art work on performance issues 
in computer systems: theory, practice and case studies. 
Topics include but are not restricted to:

Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of
	*Communication networks 	*Computer  architecture 
	*Database systems 		*Distributed systems 
	*File and I/O systems 		*Fault-tolerant systems  
	*Memory systems 		*High speed networks, ATM  
	*Interconnection networks 	*Multimedia systems  
	*Operating systems 		*Real-time systems


Techniques and algorithms for:
    *Performance optimization  		*Stochastic modeling 
    *Model verification and validation  *Experimental design 
    *Petri Nets 			*Reliability analysis and measurement
    *Workload characterization          *System measurement 
    *Simulation and statistical analysis 

The default process for submitting papers (in Postscript) will 
be through the World Wide Web.  See URL 

	http://www.cs.wm.edu/sigmetrics96.html, 

or send a request for instructions to the Program Chairman, at nicol@cs.wm.edu .
Permission to submit through other means (and instructions for
doing so) must be obtained 
from the Program Chairman We will accept submissions for


Papers:
  Papers should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages (excluding figures 
  and tables).  

Hot Topic Sessions: 
  Back by popular demand! A group of authors will
  present and discuss their recent results in an area. 
  A proposal identifying the chairman who is the organizer of the session, 
  a title, three to five authors, the titles of
  their talks and include a 100 word abstract of each talk.

Tutorials:
  Send proposals of 1-2 pages for 90 minute and 3 hour 
  pre-conference tutorials to the tutorials chair.


Important deadlines:


  October  13, 1995 	Submission 
			(the program chairman must have a printed copy

  December 15, 1995     Notification of acceptance 
  January  31, 1996}    Camera-ready copy due 


Abstracts of the Hot Topic talks will be included in the conference 
Proceedings. The Proceedings will also be published as a special issue 
of ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review. 

We especially invite papers demonstrating the Integration of
Systems and Theory, and will present an award for
the best such paper.  

Student award paper(s) will be appropriately recognized.
(To qualify for a student paper award, the submission must 
indicate that the primary author is a full-time student.  
It is not necessary that the student be the sole 
author of the paper.)
