Scope and Topics

ValueTools 2023 solicits original papers that propose new methodologies and tools for the performance evaluation and optimization of complex systems. It brings together researchers from different communities including Computer Science, Networks and Telecommunications, Operations Research, Optimization, Control Theory and Manufacturing. ValueTools 2023 welcomes regular submission papers describing novel results, as well as short papers on vision work, work-in-progress, and tools.

Scientific areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following fields:

Methodological advances

– Stochastic processes and models

– Queueing models and networks

– Discrete event simulation

– Game theory

– Machine learning and data analytics

– Federated processing

– Optimization and control theory

– Process algebras

– Markov decision processes

– Model checking, process algebras

– Complex networks

– Stochastic geometry

Application areas

– Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems

– Data centers, distributed and cloud computing systems

– Edge and fog computing systems

– Telecommunication and computer networks

– Wireless networks

– Smart grids

– Social networks

– Manufacturing systems and supply chains

– Biological, economic, transportation, and healthcare systems
