14th Int. Conf. on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques
                         and Applications

             Prague, Czech Republic, June 4-6, 2007


                            OVERVIEW

Methods of analytical, numerical and stochastic modelling are
widely used in engineering to assess and design technical and
information systems, like computer and communcation networks,
software systems, and other often distributed systems. The ASMTA
conference is a main forum for advancing analytical and stochastic
modelling and its applications. Modelling techniques increasingly
take into account the complexity of such systems making their
application more and more popular. The ASMTA aims to brings together
researchers of academia and industry to discuss latest developments
in analytical, numerical and simulation algorithms for stochastic
models, like (semi-)Markov processes, queueing networks, stochastic
Petri nets, process algebras, etc. The conference is co-sponsored by
the European Council for Modelling and Simulation (ECMS), IEEE UKRI
Computer Chapter and EC IST COST Action 290.

                        PAPER SUBMISSION

Full papers reporting original and unpublished research results on
ASMTA topics are solicited. 

FORMATTING:
Submissions should include, on the cover page, authors names,
affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses.
Please indicate clearly the corresponding author. Include up to
5 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than
300 words. Full manuscript must not exceed 10 double-spaced pages
including figures, tables, and references.

HOW TO SUBMIT:
The paper submission for ASMTA 2007 will only be accepted through
the EDAS Paper Submission System accessible from the link on the
website. Only papers in PDF will be accepted for reviewing.
Submissions as e-mail attachment will not be accepted.

REVIEWING:
Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will
receive rigorous peer reviewing. Papers will be selected based
on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and
clarity of presentation. Selection will be based on full papers.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors
to register and present the paper, if accepted. All accepted papers
in the conference are expected to be presented and will be included
in the conference proceedings (both print and CD), which will be
copyrighted and widely disseminated.  Selected best papers from
the conference will be considered for publication in a special
issue of an international journal.

CAMERA READY MANUSCRIPT:
Accepted paper will need to be formatted according to the
publication guidelines of the conference (max. 6 pages, see
website). Camera ready papers must be submitted using the EDAS
Conference Management System. Only PDF files will be accepted.

BEST PAPER AWARD:
The ASMTA 2007 Committee will select the best paper of the
conference for which a certificate will be presented at the end
of the conference.
