Deadline Extended to April 29, 2011

UKPEW is the leading UK forum for the presentation of all aspects of performance modelling and analysis of computer and telecommunication systems.

This workshop is the primary event at which the UK performance engineering community can get together to present and discuss their work. Whilst primarily aimed at UK based performance engineers, we also welcome contributions from researchers working in other countries and those whose interest in performance is derived from experience in other fields.

UKPEW provides an ideal opportunity for academics, industrialists and PhD students to relate experience and to present both finished work
and work in progress. The event has been organised to sustain the atmosphere of informality that previous UKPEWs have fostered. As well as sessions for presenting the papers submitted, it will also be possible to organise a session of short presentations of work in progress.

After the workshop, authors of a selection of papers will be invited to submit extended versions to be considered for a special issue of The Computer Journal .

New for UKPEW 2011

In a change to previous workshops, this year will include:

• 2nd Workshop and Exhibition on High Speed Network Monitoring
  
• A half day workshop and exhibition on high speed network monitoring for security and performance in cooperation with MarQuest Limited.
  Includes demos of the latest network monitoring technologies, plus presentations from international industry leaders.
  (Included in UKPEW 2011 registration)
  
• Poster Session
  
• UKPEW 2011 will include a Poster Session. The poster session track provides researchers with opportunities to cover preliminary or exploratory work within all topics of UKPEW.
