- Multimedia systems - Computer architecture
- Mobile communication - Real-time systems
- Client/server computing
Techniques and algorithms for:

- Workload characterization - Queueing analysis
- System measurement - Performability analysis
- Simulation - Scheduling theory
- Statistical analysis - Timed/stochastic Petri Nets
- Reliability - State-space methods
SUBMISSIONS: You are invited to submit papers, proposals for parallel
sessions or tutorials. Papers should report original and unpublished
research. Manuscripts should not exceed 20 double spaced pages, exclu-
ding figures and tables.
Electronic submission is encouraged. Manuscripts in plain ASCII or
