The IFIP PERFORMANCE 2025 conference will be held at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam (NL) on November 11-14, 2025.

This conference aims to bring together researchers interested in understanding and improving the performance of communication systems through state-of-the-art quantitative models and solution techniques. The conference has a long tradition and has followed an 18-month cycle for many years, recently changing to a two-year cycle. 

We are welcoming the submission of research papers via an online hotCRP platform until June 1st, 2025; see the call for papers for more details or download the poster.
