Call for Workshop Proposals
VALUETOOLS 2009
Fourth International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and
Tools
October 20-22, 2009 - Pisa, Italy
VALUETOOLS 2009 is the Fourth International Conference on Performance
Evaluation Methodologies and Tools. This edition will build on the success of
the previous editions. The aim of the conference is to bring academic and
industry researchers together with practitioners from both the performance
evaluation community and from the numerous communities who develop interesting
performance evaluation problems. The conference will address current and future
trends in performance evaluation techniques, practices, tools and applications
and foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area.
We invite proposals for one-day workshops on new and emerging topics in
performance evaluation techniques, to be held in conjunction with the main
conference. The specific methods or targeted application domain might complement
the ones of the main conference. Workshop organizers can invite special talks,
while regular papers should undergo a peer-review process. Typically, each
workshop will be composed of around 10 papers. Workshop organizers manage the
paper submission and review process, and submit the camera-ready papers before
the due date. The workshop papers will be
published together with regular papers in the conference proceedings.
Proposal Preparation
A formal workshop proposal should be at most two pages and include the following information:
- Title of the proposed workshop (full name and short name)

- Tentative list of Program Committee members, clearly specifying who has/hasn�t agreed to serve
- Method to receive and evaluate the submissions
- Preliminary Call for Papers
