Call For Contributions

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.

After the conference there will be a call for a special issue of a journal.

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

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Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in another forum.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,industrial experience reports, and work-in-progress/vision papers. Different acceptance criteria apply for each category:

• Research Papers Track
• Industry and Experience Track
• Posters and Demonstrations Track
• Workshops
• Tutorials Track
• Work in Progress and Vision Track
• PhD Workshop

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 2015 conference proceedings that will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism as well as to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
