          Organized by: University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
                 In cooperation with: College of William and Mary


GENERAL

PNPM '03 will be hosted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 
Illinois, USA. The conference will take place under the umbrella of the 2003 
Illinois Multiconference on Measurement, Modelling, and Evaluation of 
Computer-Communication Systems.  In addition to PNPM '03, the multiconference 
will comprise the International Conference on the Numerical Solution of Markov 
Chains (NSMC'03), the 6th International Workshop on Performability Modeling of 
Computer and Communications Systems (PMCCS-6), and Performance TOOLS 2003 
(13th International Conference on Modelling Techniques and Tools for Computer 
Performance Evaluation).  TOOLS, PNPM, and NSMC will take place on the campus 
of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; PMCCS will be hosted at the 
Allerton Park and Conference Center, a secluded park near the university.  The 
proceedings of PNPM '03 will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.


SCOPE

The workshop covers the theory and use of timed and stochastic Petri nets
(T/SPNs) and related models for the temporal and probabilistic analysis of 
systems.  Main topics include, but are not limited to:

  - Steady-state and transient analysis of T/SPNs
  - Computer-based tools for T/SPNs
  - New analysis techniques for T/SPNs
  - Product-form solutions for T/SPNs
  - Efficient simulation of T/SPNs
  - Approximate analysis of T/SPNs
  - Performance and reliability using T/SPNs
  - Probabilistic model-checking with T/SPNs
  - Non-Markovian T/SPNs
  - Colored T/SPNs
  - Process algebras and their relation to T/SPNs
  - Hybrid T/SPN and queueing network models
  - Hierarchical T/SPN models
  - Experiences in using T/SPNs on real-life applications


PNPM '03 PAPER SUBMISSION

Paper submissions should not have been published previously, or concurrently 
submitted for publication elsewhere, and should not exceed 20 double-spaced 
pages.  Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings published by the 
IEEE Computer Society.  From the accepted papers, the program committee will 
select a small number of papers for possible publication in IEEE Transactions 
on Software Engineering in extended form, subject to further review (subject 
to approval of the special issue by IEEE TSE).

Authors are required to submit their papers as postscript or PDF files via the 
web: http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/Multi/pnpm.html


TOOL DESCRIPTION AND DEMONSTRATION SUBMISSION

Proposals to present and demonstrate tools for performance evaluation of 
computer and communication systems are also solicited.  Each accepted tool can 
be presented in a short (10-minute) presentation and will be allowed a 
four-page summary in a tools description booklet that will be distributed at 
the multiconference.  Please submit tool description and demonstration 
summaries (subject to the page limitations) to the Tools Chair, Falko Bause 
(falko.bause@udo.edu) by the date listed below.


PNPM '03 TUTORIAL SUBMISSION

Tutorial proposals are solicited on various topics concerning theory, 
practice, and application of Petri nets and other performance models. Please 
contact the Tutorials Chair, Aad van Moorsel (aad@hpl.hp.com), to submit a 
tutorial proposal or for more information.
