15th Int. Conf. on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques
and Applications
Nicosia, Cyprus, 4-6 June 2008
in conjunction with
22nd European Conference on Modelling and Simulation
===================================================================
SUBMISSION DEADLINE APPROACHING: Tuesday, Feb. 12
Proceedings will be published by Springer as LNCS volume.
===================================================================
OVERVIEW
Methods of analytical and stochastic modelling are widely used in
engineering to assess and design technical and information systems,
like computer and communcation networks, software systems, and other
often distributed systems. The ASMTA conference is a main forum for
advancing these techniques and their applications and aims to bring
together researchers of academia and industry to discuss latest
developments in analytical, numerical and simulation algorithms for
stochastic systems, like real-time UML, (non-)Markovian processes,
queueing networks, stochastic Petri nets, process algebras, etc. The
conference is co-sponsored by the IEEE UK-RI Computer Chapter, SCS -
the Society of Modelling and Simulation and EC IST COST Action 290.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Full papers reporting original and unpublished research results
on ASMTA topics are solicited. Submissions should not be under
consideration for publication elsewhere while being evaluated for
this conference.
FORMATTING:
The proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions may already
be prepared in LNCS format and must not exceed 15 pages,
including figures, tables and references. The cover page should
contain title, author names, affiliations, fax and phone numbers
and email addresses. Please indicate clearly the corresponding
author. Include up to five keywords from the above list and an
abstract of no more than 300 words.
HOW TO SUBMIT:
The paper submission for ASMTA 2008 will only be accepted through
the EDAS Paper Submission System accessible from the link on the
website. Only papers in PDF will be accepted for reviewing.
Submissions as e-mail attachment will not be accepted.
REVIEWING:
Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will
receive rigorous peer reviewing. Papers will be selected based
on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and
clarity of presentation. Selection will be based on full papers.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors
to register and present the paper, if accepted. All accepted papers
in the conference are expected to be presented and will be included
in the conference proceedings (both print and CD).
CAMERA READY MANUSCRIPT:
Accepted papers will need to be formatted according in LNCS format
(see publication guidelines on the conference website). Camera
ready papers must be submitted using the EDAS Conference Management
System. Only PDF files will be accepted.
BEST PAPER AWARD:
The ASMTA 2008 Committee will select the best paper of the
conference for which a certificate will be presented at the end
of the conference.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: 12 February 2008
