Stochastic Modeling and Applied Research of TechnologY

The Stochastic Modeling and Applied Research of Technology (SMARTY 2018) international workshop will be held in Petrozavodsk, Karelia, one of the beautiful places in the North-West Russia, on September 21-25, 2018.

SMARTY workshop aims to bring together researchers working on the theoretical, algorithmic and methodological aspects of queueing theory, stochastic modeling and game theory, focusing on applications of such methods across a broad spectrum of technical systems with primary interest in High-Performance and Distributed Computing systems.

SMARTY 2018 sets up a working environment to share recent results on

• Stability and performance issues of stochastic models of high-performance and distributed computing systems, as well as other modern technologies;
• Game theoretic methods in queueing theory and analysis of high-performance and distributed computing systems.

Within this framework, we establish two tracks in the workshop:

1. Stochastic Modeling and Applications
2. Game Theory in Queueing

Invited speakers:

• Achyutha Krishnamoorthy (Kottayam, India)
• Garimella Rama Murthy (Hyderabad, India)
• Rein Nobel (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Students Day:

September 21th is dedicated to students and young researchers primary focusing on queueing theory, stochastic modeling and game theory in queueing. We expect several invited lectures and tutorials to inspire young researchers in those fields.

Proceedings

Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication (indexed in SCOPUS). Selected papers would be recommended, after appropriate modification, to be submitted to Special Issue of theMathematical Game Theory and its Applications (Matematicheskaya Teoriya Igr i Ee Prilozheniya) journal (indexed in Web of Science Core Collection as a subset of Automation and Remote Control journal), which will undergo an independent evaluation process according to the regular standards of the journal.

A preliminary schedule of the workshop and the publication process is as follows:

• Registration starts – July 29, 2018
• Workshop abstracts/papers submission deadline – September 3, 2018
• Notification of acceptance – September 10, 2018
• Camera ready workshop papers – September 20, 2018
• SMARTY workshop – September 21-25, 2018
• Special Issue submission deadline – December 15, 2019

For the proceedings we recommend to use LaTeX with Springer LNCS template. Please also refer to Springer authors information page which provides the LaTeX and Word templates together with guidelines and help in preparing the workshop paper.

The official language of SMARTY'18 is English. We expect that the accepted abstracts/papers will be presented at the workshop.

We plan to make SMARTY workshop biannual. With the first SMARTY workshop we would like to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Prof. Evsey Morozov, who contributed so much for establishing the queueing community in Karelia.
