Today, Web servers are not simple HTTP servers. A typical Internet site
employs a web server complex, which may include HTTP servers, database
servers, transaction servers, multimedia servers, advertisement servers
and proxy servers. The performance of the server system as a whole depends
not only on individual server performance, but also the protocols and
interactions between servers. This workshop seeks to bring together
researchers and developers from systems, databases, networking, multimedia
and other disciplines to discuss the wide range of issues that impact server
performance on the Internet.
The workshop program will include invited presentations and selected position
papers solicited through this call for papers. Submissions will be organized
in on-line proceedings. In addition, selected papers will be published in
Performance Evaluation Review. Final versions of the paper will also be
distributed to workshop participants in a proceedings volume.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
* Web enabled high-performance database access
* Multimedia streaming over the web
* High-performance electroniccommerce applications
* High-performance computing over the web
* Proxy server performance
* Capacity planning, load balancing, fault tolerance and Quality of Service
* Performance measurement and monitoring tools and technologies
Position papers not exceeding 3000 words (excluding figures and references)
are solicited. We encourage submissions from both practitioners and
researchers. Papers describing work-in-progress and research in early stages
are welcome. To submit, please send papers, preferably by email (in HTML, PDF,
or postscript format) to one of the workshop co-chairs by March 1st, 1998.
Hardcopy submissions must include four copies.
