MASCOTS conference is a well-established forum for state-of-the-art
research
on the measurement, modeling, and performance analysis of computer systems
and networks, and is cosponsored by the IEEE and ACM (approval pending).
The 18th edition of this conference will take place August 17-19, 2010 at
the Miami
Beach Resort in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. The conference will bring
together
academics and industry practitioners to present and discuss their latest
research
results. The technical program for the 3-day conference will include
keynote talks,
refereed papers, and posters. The conference organizers encourage
researchers
worldwide to submit their latest work in computer system performance
analysis
and evaluation, with results of theoretical and/or practical significance.

IMPORTANT DATES
-----------------------------

Abstract Submission: April 1, 2010
Paper Submission: April 8, 2010
Poster Submission: May 1, 2010
Acceptance Notification: May 15, 2010
Camera-ready Versions: June 9, 2010

PAPERS
-------------

MASCOTS 2010 seeks original technical papers describing research in
the areas of computer networks and computer systems performance
evaluation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Computer Architecture
* Computer Networks
* Distributed/Parallel Systems
* Industrial Practice and Experience
* Internetworking Protocols
* Multimedia Systems
* Performance Evaluation Methodologies
* Pervasive Web and Mobility
* Sensor Networks
* Storage Systems
* Web-based Systems
* Wireless Networks

Submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and
references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size
no less than 10 point. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three
members of the program committee. We will not accept any paper which,
at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been
published
or accepted for publication in any other conference or journal. Accepted
papers for MASCOTS 2010 will appear in the conference proceedings
published by the IEEE Computer Society and may be up to 8 pages in length.
The program committee will choose a subset of the accepted papers to be
published in extended 10 page versions. Authors of highly-ranked papers
may be invited to submit extended versions of their work to appropriate
IEEE
or ACM journals.

POSTERS
---------------

Posters provide a forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results,
giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and
demonstrate their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their peers
in an
informal setting. Material submitted as a full paper may also be submitted
as a poster paper; if the full paper is accepted, the poster submission
will not
be considered. Poster paper submissions may be up to 2 pages in length,
excluding references, formatted as described above. Accepted poster papers
will be allocated up to 3 pages in the conference proceedings.
