CALL FOR PAPERS for Work In Progress & Vision Track

ICPE 2013
http://icpe2013.ipd.kit.edu
4th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering

Prague, Czech Republic, April 21-24, 2013

A Joint Meeting of WOSP/SIPEW sponsored by
ACM SIGMETRICS and ACM SIGSOFT in Cooperation with SPEC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission        23 January 2013

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE AND TOPICS

The goal of the work-in-progress and vision track is two-fold:

1. To provide the opportunity for attendees to present and discuss preliminary results from their latest work obtaining some early feedback from the community
To provide the opportunity to present position papers on emerging hot topics in the field of performance engineering motivating new research directions
Work-in-progress papers present promising preliminary results that may not have been fully validated yet. Although full validation is not required, the work presented should be advanced enough to allow attendees to appreciate its scope and significance.

2. Vision papers present emerging research challenges and long-term research directions on topics relevant to the performance-engineering community. Submissions should clearly present the research questions and their rationale sketching possible approaches to their resolution. The goal of such papers is to motivate new research and generate debate and discussions on the latest challenges in the field of performance engineering.

In brief, the topics of interest include:

- Performance and software development processes
- Performance modeling and prediction
- Performance measurement and experimental analysis
- Benchmarking, configuration, sizing, and capacity planning
- System management and performance optimization
- Performance in cloud, virtualized and multi-core systems
- Performance and power
- Domain-specific performance modeling and evaluation

The full list of topics is available at
http://icpe2013.ipd.kit.edu/call_for_papers.

All contributions must be original, not published, accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the ACM Digital Library.
