It is our pleasure to invite you to the IFIP WG 7.3 Performance 2025 conference — the 43rd International Symposium on Computer Performance, Modeling, Measurements and Evaluation,  which will be held at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam (NL) on November 11-13, 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. 

News (updated on September 18)

• We are still welcoming poster contributions: the new extended submission deadline is September 24 (and we will notify you by September 26!); for instructions, see the call for posters.
  
  
• The full list of tutorials and keynotes is now available on the keynotes and tutorials page.
