10th EAI International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies a=
nd Tools=20
OCTOBER 26=E2=80=9328, 2016 | TAORMINA, ITALY=20
http://valuetools.org/2016=20


Scope=20
ValueTools 2016 focuses on methodologies and practices in modeling, perform=
ance evaluation and optimization of complex systems.=20
It gathers together researchers from different communities including Comput=
er Science, Networks and Telecommunications, Operations Research, Optimizat=
ion, Control Theory and Manufacturing.=20
ValueTools 2016 solicits previously unpublished contributions that propose =
new performance evaluation methodologies and new tools. Three types of cont=
ributions are called for: regular papers, tool papers, and tutorials.=20


Highlights=20
- The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading =
community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in th=
e field of ICT.=20
- Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services:=

Paper Submission=20
ValueTools 2016 invites the following types of contributions:=20

- Regular papers (8 pages)=20
- Tool papers & presentations (6 pages)=20
- Posters and Short Papers (4 pages)=20
- Fast Abstracts (2 pages)=20

Regular papers are ideal for presenting new evaluation methodologies and th=
eoretical contributions. Tool papers should describe new tools or substanti=
al improvements to existing tools. Fast abstracts are intended to give an o=
pportunity to present work in progress, experience reports, wild ideas, or =
controversial opinions intended to promote discussion.=20

Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by at least three expert reviewers=
 and papers will be judged based on originality, correctness, clarity and r=
elevance. Submitted papers must be original work, and may not be under cons=
ideration for another conference or journal. Paper submission implies agree=
ment that at least one author will attend the conference and present the pa=
per if accepted.=20


Deadlines=20
Paper submission deadline: July 22=20
Fast abstracts submission deadline: July 22=20
