This annual international conference is a forum for professionals
involved in performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication
systems. Evaluation of computer systems and networks is needed at
every stage in the life cycle of the product including design,
manufacturing, sales/purchase, use, upgrade, tuning, etc. The
discipline of performance evaluation has progressed rapidly in the
past decade, and it has now begun to approach maturity. Significant
progress has been made in analytic modeling, simulation, and
measurement approaches for performance evaluation of computer and
telecommunication systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- ATM Simulation
- Wireless Systems
- High-Speed Networking
- Parallel and Distributed Simulation
- Teletraffic
- Mobile Networks/Computing
- Client/Server
- Parallel and Distributed Computing
- High-Performance Computing
- Adaptive Communications
- Electronic Commerce
- UMTS/IMT-2000 Systems
- Multimedia Communications
- Verification and Validation
- Performance Tools and Methodologies
- Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applications to High Performance
Computing/Networking
- Microprocessors/Microcomputers
- Quality of Service, QoS
- Memory Systems
- Software Evaluation and Testing
- Hardware and Software Monitors
- Interconnection Networks
- Optical Networks
- Multimedia Systems
- Network Protocols
- Network Management
- Performance Optimization
- Security and Authentication
- Workload and Traffic Characterization
- Scientific Computing Algorithms
- High Performance I/O
- Scalability Studies
- Reconfigurable Computing
- Web-based Applications

Interested authors should submit 5 copies of a full paper describing
their work (maximum of 20 double-spaced pages including all
illustrations). Authors should obtain company and government
clearances prior to submission of papers. Please submit five copies
of your complete paper to the SPECTS 2000 Program Committee Chair.
