CALL FOR PAPERS
 
                     Seventh International Conference on
                        Modelling Techniques and Tools
                      for Computer Performance Evaluation
 
                              May 4 - 6, 1994
 
                              Vienna, Austria
 
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, RELIABILITY, and PERFORMABILITY are key factors in the
development and improvement of computer systems and computer networks. The
conference will focus on NEW TECHNIQUES and the EXTENSION OF EXISTING
TECHNIQUES for performance and reliability analysis. Furthermore, TOOLS to
support performance and reliability modelling and measurement in all kinds of
applications and environments will be included. Papers sought should present
techniques and tools of general applicability, rather than papers with purely
theoretical or formal content.  CASE STUDIES of real systems are especially
welcome, if they are of general interest.
 
Important deadlines:
 
        * October 8, 1993       Papers
