6th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of Parallel and Distributed Systems (PMEO-PDS'07)

Abstract

Performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization of parallel and distributed systems have been an important research topic over the past years and poses challenging problems that require novel tools and techniques to keep up with the rapid evolution and increasing complexity of such systems. The workshop aims to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, practitioners, and computer users to share their experience and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research in this research field. In response to the Call for Papers, 49 submissions have been received from all over the world. All submissions were peer reviewed by at least two program committee members and/or external reviewers. The manuscripts have been ranked according to their original contribution and relevance to the theme of the workshop. 31 papers have been selected for inclusion in the conference proceedings. The range of topics covered by these papers is quiet broad, reflecting the importance of performance related topics at all levels of parallel and distributed systems. We would like to thank the IPDPS Workshop Organizing Committee for giving us this opportunity to organize PMEO-PDS’04, especially to the IPDPS Workshops Chair, Prof. Charles Weems, for his great help. Our thanks also go to all authors for their valuable contributions and to all program committee members and reviewers for providing timely and in-depth reviews. Last but not the least, we thank the attendees of this workshop. We hope you will enjoy the program!
