In addition to its traditional focus, this year we encourage submissions focusing on implementation and experimental issues. Submission Guidelines Papers: Papers should not exceed 22 double-spaced pages including figures, tables and references. PERFORMANCE 2007 does not use a double-blind review process. Authors should include their last names and affiliations on their papers. A limited number of submitted papers will be accepted for a poster session. Submissions must be made electronically as Adobe PDF files through the Conference Web site. In case of problems, please send papers by email to papers.perf2007(at)tlc.polito.xyz.it (remove .xyz to obtain correct address). Papers will be selected on the basis of their originality, technical standards, relevance and clarity. The conference has traditionally published accepted papers in a special issue of a journal rather than a conference proceedings. PERFORMANCE 2007 will continue this tradition. All accepted full papers will be published in a special issue of the Performance Evaluation Journal (Elsevier) and will be made available at the conference. Tutorial sessions: Tutorial proposals, not exceeding 3 pages, have to include title, abstract, duration (1hr 30min or 3hrs), intended audience, assumed background of attendees, name, affiliation and a biographical sketch of the instructors. Proposals should be sent to the tutorials chair (tutorials.perf2007(at)tlc.polito.xyz.it, remove .xyz to obtain correct address).
