Paper registration:

Regular Papers are to be registered at the Performance 2014 submission site by 12pm CEST, 31 March 2014. The full paper must be submitted through the same webpage at any time up to 12pm CEST, 7 April 2014.

Short Papers are to be registered and submitted through the same webpage at any time up to 12pm CEST, 14 April 2014.

At the time of registration, the following information must be supplied for each paper through the web page:
      • Title;
      • Author List (name, email, affiliation);
      • Contact (name, email);
      • Abstract (200 words or less);
      • Topics (selected from list);
      • TPC Conflicts (selected from list).
Reasons for conflict include: past advisors and students, people with the same affiliation, and any recent (~2 years) coauthors and collaborators.

By using buttons on the paper submission page, the following two cases can be indicated as appropriate:
      • Short Paper: see formatting instructions below
      • Regular Paper: see formatting instructions below

Double-blind reviewing:

Submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.

Paper format:

All papers must be submitted as a single pdf file not to exceed 5MB in size. Letter or A4 page size is acceptable. Standard margins are required: for letter size papers use margins of at least 1 inch; for A4 size papers use margins of at least 22mm. Please note that we do not require authors to use a specific LaTeX template for their paper submissions.

Regular papers

Must not exceed 22 single-column double-spaced pages including figures, tables and references. The font size of the main body of the text must be at least 10pt. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix of up to 8 pages, which, however, will be read at the discretion of the TPC.

Short papers

Must not exceed 3 double-column single-spaced pages including figures, tables and references. Short paper submissions must be formatted according to the PER style (http://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls). Short papers must be indicated using the Short Paper button on the registration page.

Page numbers

Paper pages must be numbered.

Paper number

List the submission number (generated when the paper is registered) and the number of pages in your paper in the author block, e.g., "Paper #N, 22 pages", beneath your title. Remember to remove author names.

Papers that do not conform to the above requirements may not be reviewed
