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.

We cordially invite you to attend ACM/SPEC ICPE 2016 and the co-located
workshops and tutorials, as well as the co-located 27th annual and joint
meetings of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC).

Registration is now open. For further information please visit
