is still a topic that attains a lot of attention in both distributed and mobile
systems as well as Web-based services architectures. Due to the recent advances
in internet-based applications as well as distributed and mobile communication
systems, we are witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these
systems are becoming very large and complex at the same time. Several
challenges remain to be resolved before these systems become a commodity.
Guaranteeing QoS and provisioning of web-based systems as well as distributed
and mobile systems and evaluating their communication performance represent
among the challenging problem in the design of these systems. Quantitative
analysis can be very difficult and maybe intractable because of the state space
explosion. New methods and tools have recently emerged for these kinds of
complex systems, such as Stochastic Automata Networks, Stochastic bounds, PEPA,
etc.</span><span style="font-size:11pt"></span></p>

the performance evaluation of both distributed and mobile systems, as well as
Web-based services architectures using both analytical methods and simulation
studies. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research
related to QoS and communication performance evaluation of these systems.
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently, be under
review by another conference or journal.</span><span style="font-size:11pt"></span></p>
