MMB & DFT 2012
Conference Homepage: www.mmb2012.de
March 19 - 21, 2012, Kaiserslautern (Germany)
Organized by GI/ITG Technical Committees on “Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation
of Computing Systems (MMB)” and “Dependability and Fault-Tolerance (DFT)”
Scope
The technical committees MMB and DFT are the main fora in Germany covering all aspects of performance and dependability evaluation of systems including networks, computer architectures, distributed systems, software, fault-tolerant and secure systems. In 2012, both committees join forces again in a common conference. MMB & DFT 2012 will comprise besides its scientific main programme tutorials from academic and industrial experts; invited talks, tool presentations as well as workshops focusing on special themes. The conference language is English.
Topics of MMB & DFT 2012 include:
Methods
-Quantitative evaluation techniques related to performance, dependability, security,
survivability, real-time constraints, cost, energy-efficiency and combined aspects
like, for instance, performance-security tradeoffs
-Fault-tolerant system and network design, dependable computing, redundancy techniques,
fault modelling, fault injection
-Testing, measuring, benchmarking and monitoring of systems and networks
-Queueing systems, stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, Markov chains,
non-Markovian models, fluid models, network calculus / real-time calculus
-Simulation techniques including rare events, parallel and distributed simulation
-Combination of stochastic modelling and formal methods, e.g., stochastic extensions
of the UML
-Model checking in model-driven software development
-Network economics, accounting, tariffing
Applications
-Computer and software architectures, organic computing architectures, pervasive and
ubiquitous computing, adaptive and self-organizing systems, embedded systems
-Fault-tolerant systems and networks, safety-oriented and security-oriented architectures,
redundancy techniques
-Communication networks including access and backbone networks, optical networks,
high-speed switching, peer-to-peer networks, overlay networks, sensor networks and
sensor systems, car communication, mobile and wireless networks, web-based systems,
multimedia systems, traffic engineering, network planning and optimization
-Green IT
-Workflow and logistic systems, traffic and transportation systems
Tools and Case Studies
