                       Tucson, Arizona

You are invited to join us at the 2001 IEEE International
Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software. This
annual international conference provides a forum for sharing
advanced and well-established academic and industrial R&D work
focused on performance analysis in the design of systems and
software. It is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's Technical
Committee on Internet, Technical Committee on Computer
Architecture, and Technical Committee on Microprogramming and
Microarchitecture. The conference will feature a top quality
technical program and will take place at the Westward Look Resort
Hotel in Tucson, AZ.
