17^th International GI/ITG Conference on

“Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems” and “Dependability and Fault-Tolerance”

MMB & DFT 2014

March 157 - ­ 19, 2014,

Bamberg (Germany)

Organized by GI/ITG Technical Committees on “Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems (MMB)” and “Dependability and Fault-Tolerance (DFT)”

The technical committees MMB and DFT are the main fora in Germany covering all aspects of performance and dependability evaluation of systems including networks, computer architectures, distributed systems, workflow systems, software, fault-tolerant and secure systems. In 2014 both committees join forces in a common international conference MMB & DFT 2014. In addition to its scientific programme on performance and dependability evaluation techniques, it will comprise invited talks, tool presentations, state-of-the-art tutorials, and workshops focusing on hot topics.

Topics of MMB & DFT 2014 include:

Models and Methods

• Quantitative evaluation techniques related to performance, dependability, security, survivability, real-time constraints, cost, energy-efficiency and combined aspects like performance-security tradeoffs
• Fault-tolerant system and network design, dependable computing, redundancy techniques, fault modelling, fault injection
• Testing, measuring, benchmarking and monitoring of systems and networks
• Queueing systems, stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, Markov chains, non-Markovian models, fluid models, network calculus
• Simulation techniques including rare events, parallel and distributed simulation
• Combination of stochastic modeling and formal methods in engineering
• Model checking and theorem proving in model-driven software development
• Network economics, accounting, tariffing
