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
experience, to discuss challenges, and to report state-of-the-art and
in-progress research on performance engineering.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* 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 and Power
* Performance modeling and evaluation in other domains
* All other topics related to performance

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not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, industrial
experience reports, and work-in-progress/vision papers.
