Conference Description:

The 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. The 32nd edition of this conference will take place on October 21-23, 2024 in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Krakow, Poland. The conference will bring together academia and industry to present and discuss their latest research results. The technical program for the 3-day conference will include keynote talks and refereed paper presentations, including workshops.

We encourage original submissions describing state-of-the-art research in the areas of the performance evaluation of computer systems and networks as well as in related areas. Papers describing results of theoretical and/or practical significance are welcome. Experimental, modeling, and simulation studies are all in the scope of the conference. Papers focusing on novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime management tradeoffs are particularly encouraged.

The deadline for paper submissions Sunday, May 19, 2024.

Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.

In addition to IEEE Xplore, in recent years a selection of accepted papers have also been invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue in the Performance Evaluation (PEVA) journal.

Some papers that are not accepted for the main conference program will be considered for the MASCOTS’24 Workshop and, if accepted, will then be published in another premier venue.

The MASCOTS 2023 and 2022 proceedings are available at IEEE Xplore
