ACM/SPEC ICPE 2016

The International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) provides a forum for the integration of theory and practice in the field of performance engineering. ICPE is an annual joint meeting that has grown out of the ACM Workshop on Software Performance (WOSP) and the SPEC International Performance Engineering Workshop (SIPEW). It brings together researchers and industry practitioners to share ideas, discuss challenges, and present results of both work-in-progress and state-of-the-art research on performance engineering of software and systems.

Call For Contributions

The goal of the International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is to integrate theory and practice in the field of performance engineering by providing a forum for sharing ideas and experiences between industry and academia. ICPE is a joint meeting of the ACM Workshop on Software and Performance (WOSP) and the SPEC International Performance Evaluation Workshop (SIPEW). The conference brings together researchers and industry practitioners to share and present their experience, to discuss challenges, and to report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering.This year’s main theme is performance in the data center, in particular for hosting cloud applications and services.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

• Performance in the data center, cloud, and Internet of Things
• Performance methods in software development
• Model-driven performance engineering
• Performance modeling and prediction
• Performance measurement and experimental analysis
• Benchmarks (workloads, scenarios, and implementations)
• Run-time performance and capacity management
• Performance in cloud, virtualized, and multi-core systems
• Performance-driven resource and power management
• Performance of big data systems
• Performance modeling and evaluation in other domains
• Performance requirements specification
• Performance testing and validation
• Relationship between performance and architecture
• All other topics related to performance
