Instructions for SI Submissions

SPECIAL ISSUES

Special issues of certain journals related to Performance Evaluation and Operations Research have been arranged. Eligible papers are:

• extensions of short-papers and
• long papers that opt-out of publication in Performance Evaluation (PEVA).

Authors need to make sure that their work falls within the scope of the respective journal. All the papers will be reviewed according to the standards of the journal.

Special Issues will appear in: 

1. ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems (TOMPECS).
   • SI Editors: Leana Golubchik and John C.S. Lui
   • The editors will invite the authors of a few papers (short or long) to submit a full-length manuscript.
   • Deadline: On or before January 2019
   • Prepare your manuscript using the same manuscript preparation guidelines as the ones for regular TOMPECS submissions.
2. Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA)
   • SI Editors: Michel Mandjes and Philippe Robert
   • All conference papers (short and long papers that opt out of PEVA) may submit to the SI.
   • The conference version of the paper published in PER should be no more than 6 pages.  Accepted full papers that opt out of PEVA will have to be shortened by the authors if they wish to have their paper submitted to Queueing Systems.
