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Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not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.
