Scope and Topics
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Performance Engineering Workshop is an annual event that
aims to gather academic and industrial researchers working on all
aspects of performance engineering. We invite original papers related
to the following areas:

- Theoretical advances in performance modeling and evaluation, e.g.:
• Probabilistic, stochastic, or performability models, such as
Queueing Networks, Petri Nets, and Process Calculi
• Specification of quantitative properties
• Analytical and numerical solution techniques and simulation techniques
• Quantitative model checking, equivalence checking, and static analysis
• Context-aware modelling and analysis techniques

- System, software, and network performance engineering, e.g.:
• Performance-oriented design, architecture, implementation,
deployment, monitoring, and maintenance
• Constraint-based and model-driven system design
• Performance analysis, simulation, and experimental design
• Benchmark design and benchmark-based evaluation and monitoring
• Automated interpretation of analysis results
• Quality of service, and trade-offs between security, performance,
dependability, energy consumption, usability, etc.
• Software performance modeling languages, model composition and tool
interoperability
• 5G and beyond

- Case studies, e.g.:
• Cloud systems, Hybrid Cloud, and Fog Computing
• Internet of Things
• Cyber-physical systems
• E-health systems
• Blockchain and Cryptocurrency applications
• Sharing services such as carshare and rideshare
