About the journal
Performance Evaluation
|
The major aims of Performance Evaluation are to:
(1) collect and disseminate information relative to performance aspects, and in particular to the topics described below;
(2) promote interdisciplinary flow of technical information among researchers and professionals; and
(3) serve as a publication medium for various special interest groups in the performance community at large. |
 |
Topics are drawn from, but are not restricted to, the following areas:
Performance studies of computers, computer communications, telecommunications and distributed systems
Resource allocation and control methods and algorithms (e.g. routing and flow control in networks, bandwidth allocation, processor scheduling, memory management)
System reliability
Modeling and analysis methods (e.g. queueing and scheduling theory, simulation methods, data analysis)
Measurement techniques (e.g. software and hardware monitors) and workload characterization
System architecture, design and implementation discussed from a performance viewpoint
Performance evaluation applications (e.g. system tuning, procurement, capacity planning)
Case studies and model validations.
Types of articles include: original work, tutorials and surveys, news items, articles and book abstracts and reviews, and short communications.
Instructions to Authors
Please submit your manuscript preferably in ps or pdf format to the Editor-in-Chief: perfeval@zurich.ibm.com Submission of your manuscript is welcome provided that it, or any translation of it
has not been copyrighted or published
is not being submitted for publication elsewhere.
If a paper contains material previously presented at a conference, authors are requested to indicate this together with title, date and plan of conference presentation.
Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Manuscripts should be prepared for publication in accordance with instructions given in the "Guide for Authors" (available from the Publisher) details of which are given below.
Type of contributions
The journal welcomes the following types of contributions:
Original research articles
Survey articles, providing a comprehensive review on a scientific topic short communications: Short,self-contained articles on ongoing research, or reporting interesting, possibly tentative, ideas, or comments on previously published research
To whom can I submit my manuscript?
Submission of articles:
Articles of interest to a significant number of readers are considered for publication. Criteria for selection are originality, quality, conciseness and relevance to the published aims.
Both invited and submitted articles may be published. As electronic submission speeds up the refereeing process, we encourage authors to submit articles electronically in ps or pdf format to the Editor-in-Chief:

General Author Instructions
Each paper should be introduced by three to five keywords as well as by a selfcontained abstract of no more than 100 words not counting the formulas.
Please make sure that the paper is submitted in its final form. Corrections in the proof stage other than printer's errors should be avoided: costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors.
Footnotes should be avoided if possible and be brief. They should be numbered consecutively.
References should be listed alphabetically, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2], papers in a contributed volume [3,4], unpublished papers [5].

Figures should be provided in a form suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. Lettering should be uniform of size corresponding to the anticipated reduction.
Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Figures should be identified by arabic numerals and the captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet rather than lettered on the figures themselves. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality. Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author. A final accepted manuscript can be submitted in paper only (typed on one side in double spacing with wide margins). An accepted article can also be submitted in electronic form (a LaTeX file, or as a file from other word processers).
Electronic Submissions: LaTeX
Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with a paper-printed version which is identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used.
LateX files of papers that have been accepted for publication may be sent to the Publisher by e-mail or on a diskette (3.5" or 5.25" MS-DOS). If the file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should be encoded in ESP-LaTeX, standard LaTeX, or AMS-LaTeX (in document style "article").The Elsevier-LaTex package, together with instructions on how to prepare a file, is available from the Publisher. This package can also be obtained through ftp://ftp.elsevier.nl/pub/styles Elsevier Science FTP-server, or using anonymous FTP from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN)
The host names are: ftp.dante.de, ftp.tex.ac.uk; the directory is: /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/elsevier.
Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately.
No changes from the accepted version are permissible, without the explicit approval by the Editors. The Publisher reserves the right to decide whether to use the author's file or not. If the file is sent by e-mail, the full name of the journal should be mentioned in the subject field of the message to identify the paper. Authors should include an ASCII table (available from the Publisher) in their files to enable the detection of transmission errors. The files should be mailed to Log-in Department, Elsevier Science B.V.,
P.O. Box 2759, 1000 CT Amsterdam, Netherlands. Fax: +31 20 4853239 For the purpose of further correspondence the manuscript should end with a complete mailing address, preferably including email address, of at least one of the authors.
Keyword Instructions
Important Notice: please add one to five keywords to your article. Keywords are essential for the accessibility and retrievability of your article. Keywords assigned to articles will be assembled in a keyword index which will be printed in the last issue of each volume, and in cumulative indexes. In addition, it is planned to make keywords available on Internet.
To maximize the consistency with which such keywords are assigned by different authors, the following guidelines have been drawn up.
Each keyword (which can be a phrase of more than one word) should describe one single concept. Often words like "and" or "of" should be avoided. Avoid very general keywords which become meaningless once in a keyword list. Examples to avoid are "action", "computer", "mathematics". Check whether the keywords as a whole describe the outlines of the article.
Use natural language: for instance "automatic error recovery" rather than "error recovery, automatic".
Try to use nouns and adjectives as much as possible (i.e. use "automatic error recovery" rather than "recovering errors automatically"). Do not use nouns in the plural form.
Use English rather than American spelling (regardless of the spelling used for the article itself).
Avoid the use of abbreviationsas much as possible, unless an abbreviation is so well-established that the full term is rarely used (e.g. use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", but use "computer aided design" instead of "CAD").
Although these guidelines are not mandatory, they should be adhered to where possible.
