The complexity of computer systems, networks and applications,
as well as the advancements in computer technology, continue to grow at
a rapid pace. Mathematical analysis and models are playing an important
role in research studies to investigate fundamental issues and tradeoffs
at the core of performance problems in the design and implementation of
complex computer systems, networks and applications.
The Workshop on MAthematical performance Modeling and Analysis (MAMA
2000) seeks to bring together researchers working on the mathematical,
methodological and theoretical aspects of performance analysis, modeling
and optimization. It is intended to provide a forum at SIGMETRICS conferences
for talks on early research in the more mathematical areas of performance
analysis. These talks will be based on very recent research results (including
work in progress) or on new research results that will be otherwise submitted
only to a journal (or recently have been submitted to a journal). Thus,
part of the goal is to complement and supplement the SIGMETRICS Conference
program with such talks without removing any theoretical contributions
from the main program.
