About

ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems (ToMPECS) is a new ACM journal that publishes refereed articles on all aspects of the modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation of computing and communication systems.

ACM ToMPECS solicits and will publish peer-reviewed articles that:

    Define, develop, and assess new performance evaluation methodologies;
    Provide new insights on the performance of computing and communication systems; or
    Introduce new settings in which performance modeling and evaluation can play an important role.

The target areas for the application of these performance evaluation methodologies are broad, and include traditional areas such as computer networks, computer systems, storage systems, telecommunication networks, and Web-based systems, as well as new areas such as data centers, green computing/communications, energy grid networks, and on-line social networks.

Issues of the journal will be published on a quarterly basis, appearing both in print form and in the ACM Digital Library. The first issue will likely be released in late 2015 or early 2016.

Aim and Scope

ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems (ToMPECS) is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that publishes refereed articles on all aspects of the modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation of computing and communication systems. It solicits and will publish articles that:

    Define, develop, and assess new performance evaluation methodologies, including analytical techniques, experimental design, formal methods, instrumentation techniques, mathematical modeling, optimization, queueing theory, reliability analysis, simulation, statistical analysis, stochastic modeling, verification and validation, and workload characterization;
    Provide new insights on the performance of computing and communication systems; or
    Introduce new settings within which performance modeling and evaluation can play an important role.

Target areas for these performance evaluation methodologies include traditional areas such as computer architecture, computer networks, database systems, distributed systems, enterprise systems, fault-tolerant systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems, multimedia systems, operating systems, peer-to-peer networks, real-time systems, sensor networks, software systems, storage systems, telecommunication networks, Web-based systems, and wireless networks, as well as up and coming areas such as data centers, green computing and communications, energy grid networks, on-line social networks, and networks at large.
