2010 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems
July 11-14, Ottawa, Canada
Crowne Plaza Ottawa Hotel
This annual international conference is a forum for professionals involved in performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Performance evaluation of computer systems and networks has progressed rapidly in the past decade and has begun to approach maturity. Significant progress has been made in analytic modeling, simulation, and measurement approaches for performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems.
