IEEE 22^nd International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems

We encourage original submissions describing research that advances the state of the art in the areas of computer networks and performance evaluation of computer systems in the era of big data. The MASCOTS conference encourages papers describing results both of theoretic and practical significance. Papers presenting new performance evaluation methods or those applying existing methods to provide new insights into design trade-offs for computer and networked systems are particularly encouraged. Broad topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Computer Architecture
• Computer Networks
• Database performance
• Distributed/Parallel Systems for Large Scale Intensive Data
• High Performance big data analysis
• Industrial Practice and Experience
• Internetworking Protocols
• Multimedia Systems
• Performance Evaluation Methodologies
• Performance on Web Services and Cloud Computing
• Pervasive Web and Mobility
• Sensor and Wireless Networks
• Social network
• Security and privacy
• Storage Systems
• Web-based Systems

Full-length paper

Submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

Work-in-progress paper

Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting.  Unsuccessful full paper submissions, where appropriate, will automatically be considered for publication as a work-in-progress paper.

Submissions may be up to 3 pages in length (including figures and references), with the option of purchasing one extra page upon acceptance, formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

Submissions

MASCOTS 2014 is using the EasyChair system. Submit manuscripts conforming to the guidelines given above.

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted or under review for publication elsewhere. Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field will review submitted papers to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference program. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE press. For accepted papers, attendance and presentation by at least one author is mandatory.
