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.)
