Call for Papers

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 the year 2010 both committees join forces in a common conference. MMB & DFT 2010 will present 19 regular papers and 5 tool descriptions; invited talks and an industry session will accompany the scientific program.

Topics of MMB & DFT 2010 include:

Quantitative Evaluation Techniques related to

  • Systems including Performance, Dependability, Security, Survivability, Real-Time, Economic and Related Aspects like Performance-Dependability Trade-Offs
  • Fault-Tolerant Systems and Fault-Tolerant Networks, 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, Simulation Languages
