SCOPE AND TOPICS

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
experiences, 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

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not
being considered in another forum. A variety of contribution styles for
papers are solicited including: basic and applied research papers for
novel scientific insights, industrial and experience papers reporting on
applying performance engineering or benchmarks in practice, and
work-in-progress/vision papers for ongoing but yet interesting work.
Different acceptance criteria apply based on the expected content of the
individual contribution types.

Authors will be requested to self-classify their papers according to
topic and contribution style when submitting their papers.

For detailed submission instructions, please visit:
https://icpe2016.spec.org/submissions.html. Submissions to all tracks
need to be uploaded to ICPE's easychair installation at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpe2016.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register at
the full rate, attend the conference and present the paper. Presented
papers will be published in the ICPE 2016 conference proceedings that
will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library. After
the conference there will be a call for a special issue of a journal.
