Queues in healthcare systems
Markov decision processes in queueing systems
Analysis of multi-class queueing networks
Game theory in queueing systems
Markov analysis of queueing systems
Matrix analytic methods
Fluid and diffusion approximation in queueing networks
Performance analysis and evaluation of networks
Design and capacity planning of networking models
Stochastic models for Internet of Things (IoT)
Traffic management and routing
Traffic measurement and data analysis
Design and management of networks
Source modeling for multi-media traffic and web-based applications
Performance evaluation and simulation tools
Simulation and experimental validation of networks

PAPER SUBMISSION
================
Full LNCS papers (8-20 pages in Springer LNCS format) and short papers (3-6 pages including abstract, results and references in Conference format) on QTNA topics are welcome. Submissions should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere while being evaluated for this conference.
All papers for QTNA 2019 must be submitted through the Easychair paper submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qtna2019 ). Only papers in PDF format will be accepted for reviewing. Submissions as e-mail attachment will not be accepted.
You can choose the paper type when you submit. Please refer to the QTNA 2019 website for more detailed submission instructions.
Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive rigorous peer reviewing by at least three referees. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, quality, soundness, significance, and clarity of presentation. Priority is given to full LNCS papers of significant scientific content. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted.
All accepted LNCS papers will be included in the Springer LNCS proceedings. Accepted short papers and abstracts of accepted LNCS papers will be included in an electronic version of the conference brochure with program, provided to all conference participants.
