MMB & DFT 2016

Date: Apr 04, 2016 1:00 am – Apr 06, 2016 10:00 am
Location: Münster, Germany

18th International GI/ITG Conference on “Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems” and “Dependability and Fault-Tolerance” (MMB & DFT 2016)

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 2016 both committees join forces in a common international conference MMB & DFT 2016. 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 2016 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
