Scope
With the fast development
of Internet and
other new technologies, different types of networks, paradigms and
platforms of
distributed computation are emerging as new forms of the
computation in
the new millennium. Among these paradigms and technologies, Grid, P2P
and networks
ad-hoc systems are among most important. One of the main targets behind
these
technologies and paradigms is, from the scientific perspective, to
enable the
solution of very complex problems of the denominated family of
eScience problems that arise in different branches of science,
engineering
and the industry. An important line of research in this context is the
simulation and modeling. Simulation is an essential tool in these new
computational systems in order to implement and evaluate different
algorithms,
resolution techniques and applications before deployment in a real
system.
Simulation and modelling allow thus to conceive, develop and analyze in
a
controlled and economic way application prototypes that can be later
deployed
in real environments.
The aim of this workshop is to present
innovative
researches, methods and techniques related to Simulation, Modelling and
Performance Evaluation in Emergent Computational Systems.
