35th Annual UK Performance Engineering Workshop (UKPEW'2019)

Scope of Workshop

The UK Performance Engineering Workshop (UKPEW) is an annual event that aims to gather researchers working on all aspects of performance modelling and analysis.

We solicit original papers on performance evaluation techniques for computer and telecommunication systems analysis. Papers on or related to the following topics are particularly welcome.

• Performance-oriented design and analysis methods

• Formal modelling paradigms: stochastic process algebra, stochastic Petri nets, stochastic automata networks, Markov chains, queueing theory,...

• Solution and simplification techniques for stochastic processes

• Model checking and validation

• Approximate results for Markov and semi-Markov Processes

• Simulation techniques and experimental design

• Benchmarks and benchmark evaluation

• Performance tools

• Performance case studies

• Performability modelling

• Software performance engineering

• Performance and power consumption tradeoffs

• Performance overhead of secure systems

• New frontiers of performance evaluation/modelling

• Performance analysis of communication networks, mobile and wireless networks, software systems, distributed systems, system architectures, embedded systems, web-based systems, cloud computing, edge computing, ...

Important Dates

• Paper submission deadline: 8th November 2019

• Notification to authors: 18th November 2019

• Camera-ready deadline: 9th December 2019

• Workshop: 16th December 2019

Publication

Accepted full papers from the proceedings of UKPEW'19 will appear in the workshop proceedings.

Instructions to Authors

Electronic paper submission should be made through Easychair.

Full papers should be original work of between 15 and 20 pages long, including figures and bibliography, and in single-column format. Work-in progress papers of 6-10 pages and poster papers of 2-4 pages can also be presented.

Submission is required in PDF format. Word files cannot be accepted. Please follow the manuscript preparation guidelines on the ENTCS web page.

Workshop Venue

The workshop venue is located at the School of Computing, University of Leeds. Leeds can be reached:

By air. Leeds is served by two major airports: Leeds Bradford and ­Manchester. Regular flights are available from a huge number of European and International cities. Leeds Bradford airport is approximately seven miles away from the University, so easily commutable by taxi.

By train. Leeds station connects us with all major UK cities and has a fast and efficient London service. For train information and timetables visit the National Rail Enquiries website

By car. If you are using satellite navigation our address details for the main entrance to our site are:

University of Leeds

Woodhouse Lane

Leeds

LS2 9JT

Leeds is linked to the M1 and M62 motorways. Parking on campus is limited, and we are also committed to reducing our carbon emissions, so we encourage staff and visitors to walk or cycle where possible.

Directions for visitors (PDF).
