CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
FOR MMB & DFT 2016
======================

18th International GI/ITG Conference on “Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems” and “Dependability and Fault-Tolerance”
April 4-6, 2016,
Münster (Germany)

http://www.mmb2016.de

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.

Registration is now open. For further information please visit http://mmb2016.de/page/registration .

**HIGHLIGHTS**
Keynotes
- Enrico Vicario (University of Florence, Italy):
"From transient analysis to Probabilistic Model Checking of Markov Regenerative Processes"
- Aiko Pras (University of Twente, the Netherlands)
"DDoS 3.0: How terrorists bring down the Internet”

Workshops
- Practical Applications of Stochastic Modelling (PASM 2016)
- Mobility Workshop (Emobility 2016)
