Call for Fast Abstracts:
Fast Abstracts at QEST 2011 are short oral presentations, either on new ideas
or work in progress, or opinion pieces that can address any issue relevant to
the evaluation and verification of computer systems and networks, through
stochastic models and measurements. Because they are brief and have a later
deadline, Fast Abstracts enable their authors to:
* Summarise work that is in progress
* Put forward novel or challenging ideas
* State positions on controversial issues
* Suggest new approaches to the solution of open problems
Thus, they provide an excellent opportunity to introduce new work, or present
radical opinions, and receive early feedback from the community. Contributions
are particularly solicited from industrial practitioners and academics that may
not have been able to prepare full papers due to time and work pressures, but
nevertheless seek an opportunity to engage with the QEST community.
Information on QEST 2011:
The 8th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST)
is organized at the Computer Science Department of the RWTH Aachen University
on September 5 - 8, 2011. It is co-located with CONCUR '11, the 22nd
International Conference on Concurrency Theory, and TGC '11, the 6th
International Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing. QEST 2011 is in
cooperation with ACM SIGMETRICS.
More information on QEST 2011 can be found at:
http://www.qest.org/qest2011/index.php
Submission Guidelines:
Fast Abstracts should be at most two pages in length, must be formatted using
standard two-column IEEE format. The submitted Fast Abstracts must be in .pdf
format and completely ready for printing. Abstracts should be submitted
electronically, as an e-mail attachment, to
[email protected]
Selection and Notification:
Submissions will be selected primarily on the basis of relevance to QEST, but
also on their capacity to stimulate and intrigue the reader. Accepted
contributions will be collected in a technical report, and an author will
deliver a short talk (ten minutes) in the Fast Abstracts track at the
conference. Submission of a contribution to the track indicates agreement to
have one author present the work, if accepted, at the conference.
The Fast Abstracts technical committee consists of Gianfranco Ciardo
(University of California, Riverside), Aad van Moorsel (Newcastle University),
David Parker (Oxford University), and Benny Van Houdt (University of Antwerp).
The presenter must complete a QEST 2011 registration with payment.
Important Dates:
Fast Abstract deadline: Friday 10-th of June
Notification for Fast Abstract: Friday 1st of July
Registration for Accepted Fast Abstract: before early registration deadline of
QEST 2011
Conference Date: 5-8 September 2011.
