SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------
The Workshop on Challenges in Performance Methods for Software Development (WOSP-C) serves as a forum for discussions on novel and unresolved challenges in the field of software performance engineering. The workshop encompasses topics such as performance assurance processes, the interplay between performance and software architecture, performance testing and debugging, performance monitoring, and autoscaling of modern cloud applications. The primary areas of interest for the workshop remain consistent with previous editions, but this edition scope will also extend to include additional novel topics.


We encourage contributions that help to discuss challenges on topics that are relevant in the performance community. In this edition, in particular, we would like to focus on the following:


Model-based performance analysis
Empirical studies in performance engineering
Performance monitoring
AIOps for performance assurance
Performance testing and debugging
Performance engineering in Agile/DevOps software processes
Sustainable software engineering
Performance engineering for Machine Learning systems
Machine learning for performance engineering tasks
Industry reports on performance engineering challenges and experience
Performance modeling and optimization for microservice and serverless architecture
Autoscaling solutions for cloud-based systems

Submissions
-----------
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in any other venue. Papers should be in the ACM format. They should describe research results, experience, visions or new initiatives. This year, we accept submissions as full (8 pages), Vision or Work-in-progress (4 pages), and Industrial experiences (2 pages) papers. Page limits include references. Papers should be submitted via HotCRP at https://wosp-c2025.hotcrp.com


The workshop proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library as the ICPE2025 conference companion proceedings.
