The MASCOTS conference is a well-established forum for state-of-the-art research on the measurement, modeling, and performance analysis of computer systems and networks.

The MASCOTS 2024 conference encourages original submissions describing state-of-the-art research in the areas of the performance evaluation of computer systems and networks as well as in related areas.

Papers describing results of theoretical and/or practical significance are solicited. Experimental, modelling and simulation studies are all in the scope of the conference.

Works focusing on novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime management tradeoffs are particularly encouraged.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to any journal or conference.

Submissions must be formatted using two-columns and may be up to 8 pages in length, including tables, figures, appendices, and references.

Papers that are not accepted for the conference program will be considered for the MASCOTS’24 Workshop and, if accepted, may then be published in another Open Access venue.

Guidelines regarding paper formatting are available at the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

Accepted papers will only be included in the program if there is one distinct registered author per paper.

Proceedings will be published in IEEExplore (approval pending).
