13th GI/ITG Conference on Measurement, Modeling, and Evaluation of
                 Computer and Communication Systems

(in German: Messung, Modellierung und Bewertung von Rechensystemen)

               Nuernberg, Germany, March 27-29, 2006


The MMB is the main forum in Germany covering all aspects of performance evaluation of systems including networks, computer architectures, distributed systems, software, workflow and logistics systems. After its inception in 1981, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this conference series. The MMB 2006 will start with a half day of tutorials from scientific and industrial experts and is accompanied by two workshops in parallel tracks allowing for an exchange of ideas between different but related research communities.

The two associated workshops are:

ITG FA 6.2 Workshop on Model-Based Testing
GI/ITG Workshop on Non-Functional Properties of Embedded Systems
Model-Based Testing is connected with performance evaluation by the use of similar models and by the similarity between quality-of-service testing and performance measurements. Non-Functional Properties of Embedded Systems refer to performance, dependability, security, and real-time as well as energy efficiency and costs of such systems which are increasingly heterogeneous and networked.

Topics of the MMB include:

Quantitative Evaluation of Systems including Performance, Dependability, Security, Survivability, Real-Time, Economic and Related Aspects
Measurements and Benchmarking including Hardware/Software/Hybrid and Active/Passive Monitoring
Modeling Paradigms including Queueing Systems, Stochastic Petri Nets, Stochastic Process Algebras, Simulation Languages, and Stochastic Extensions of the UML
Analysis Techniques including Markov Chains, Non-Markovian Models, Fluid Models, etc.
Simulation Techniques including Rare Events, Variance Reduction, Parallel and Distributed Simulation
Combination of Stochastic Modelling and Formal Methods
Computer and Software Architectures
Workflow and Logistic Systems, Traffic and Transportation Systems
Traffic Engineering, Network Planning and Optimization
Access and Backbone Networks, Optical Networks, High-Speed Switching, Mobile and Wireless Networks, Web-Based Systems, Multimedia Systems
Network Economics, Accounting, Tariffing
Peer-to-Peer Networks, Networked Embedded Systems, Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems, and Sensor Networks
Tools supporting all Techniques, Case Studies in all Application Fields
