The 2013 International Workshop on Network Optimization and Performance Evaluation – NOPE 2013 in conjunction with The 15th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC 2013) Zhangjiajie, China, November 13-15, 2013 Network optimization and performance evaluation is still a topic that attains a lot of attention in network/Internet and distributed systems. Due to the recent advances in internet based applications as well as WLANs, wireless home networks, and wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh network, cloud computing, we are witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these systems and networks are becoming very large and complex, and consuming large energy at the same time. System optimization and performance evaluation remain to be resolved before these systems become a commodity. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and share their research and development experiences. We welcome contributions within a broad range of network optimization and performance evaluation, from fundamental information theoretic results to considerations for network quality of service. Our goal is to have a single track meeting with lively scientific discussions and fruitful exchange of views, and to accommodate a wide variety of backgrounds and research attitudes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Energy-aware performance models and metrics * Metrics for network system performance evaluation * Energy efficient content delivery networks and content centric networks * Energy-aware cross-layer and cross-platform techniques * Green extensions to traffic engineering protocols and techniques * Network system energy consumption/performance trade-off * Modelling and optimization of energy consumption on network-attached hosts * Control and optimization techniques applied to network/Internet * Measurement and characterization of networks traffic such as WLANs, wireless home networks, and wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh network, cloud computing. We invite you to submit papers with unpublished, original research describing recent advances on the areas related to this workshop. All papers will undergo peer review by the conference program committee. All papers accepted will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (EI indexed) and will be available at the workshops. Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their papers for submission to special issues in prestigious Journals. Paper Submission: All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nope2013) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 6 pages (or 10 pages with the over length charge). including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts). You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting. Please submit your paper through for NOPE 2013. Submission Web Site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nope2013 The accepted papers from this conference will be published by IEEE Computer Society in HPCC 2013 conference proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex).Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in serveral SCI & EI indexed special issues.
