CALL FOR PAPERS

The 27th International Conference on Analytical & Stochastic Modelling Techniques & Applications (ASMTA 2023)

Florence - 20-23 June, 2023

ASMTA and EPEW are flagship conferences for academic and industrial researchers from diverse fields with common interest on the performance modelling, analysis and design of stochastic systems. This year, the two conference join again (and also join, again for ASMTA, with the International ECMS conference on Modelling and Simulation, ECMS 2023), and solicit papers on the development of broadly applicable analytic, simulation and measurement-based methods on all aspects of performance engineering.

ASMTA 2023 aims to bring together researchers interested in understanding and improving the performance of systems where the flow of information is random by means of proper modeling and solution methods. It seeks papers to promote research results in the development and analysis of stochastic models arising among others in communication systems, manufacturing, production, service operations, supply chain/inventory management, and biological systems.

Its scope includes both methodological and computational advances. In particular, it aims to bring together researchers working on the theoretical, algorithmic and computational aspects of the methods applied in stochastic models, and on the applications of such methods across a broad spectrum of research fields. The conference is particularly interested in contributions that present new performance evaluation methods/algorithms, or that creatively apply existing methods to predict and efficiently design stochastic systems.

Best Paper award

The ASMTA 2023 committee will select the best paper award of the conference for which a certificate will be presented at the end of the conference.

Special Issues

A selection of the best papers presented at EPEW 2023 and ASMTA 2023 will be considered for a submission of extended versions to the ACM Transactions of Modelling and Computer Simulation.
