Overview

The IEEE Computer Society’s annual MASCOTS conferences have a long and distinguished history in the field of Performance Modeling, Measurement and Analysis of Computer Systems and Networks. The 15th MASCOTS international meeting will be organized by Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in October of 2007 and we encourage researchers worldwide to submit both theoretically and practically significant results in the field of computer systems performance analysis and evaluation, that have not previously been published. The IEEE Computer Society will publish the conference proceedings for MASCOTS 2007. The symposium scope includes, but is not limited to Modeling, Measurement and Simulation Methodologies for Computer Systems and Networks, as well as Performance Studies of:

Pervasive Computing Environments
Computer Architecture
Parallel and Distributed Systems
Real-Time and Multimedia Systems
Internetworking Protocols
Wireless and Mobile Networking and Computing
Broadband & Telecommunication Networks and Software
Web-Based Systems,
Middleware

Related areas such as Workload Characterization and Generation, Discrete Event Simulation Methodology and Tools, and Parallel / Distributed Simulation, are also within the scope of the conference. Paper length and formatting requirements are provided in the symposium web site.

Paper Submissions

Papers must be written in English. Preferred maximum paper length for the camera ready copy is 6 printed pages (single side, double column, IEEE format) including figures. Use the sample manuscript as a visual aid for formatting. Submissions may exceed 6 printed pages, but there will be an extra page charge if the camera ready copy exceeds 6 printed pages.
