SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------

The ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is
the leading international forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas, 
innovations, trends, and experiences in the field of performance engineering.

Performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are becoming central to the 
acceptance and sustainability of modern computing systems. Digitalization 
brings computing technology closer to people and manages most aspects of 
their life. In turn, human interaction increasingly shapes the behavior of 
computing systems. As a result, our systems become more complex and, therefore, 
more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to be able to manage this 
complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustable, and performant.

ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report on open problems, 
state-of-the-art solutions, and in-progress research in performance engineering 
of software and systems - targeting performance and associated quality attributes 
such as efficiency and reliability in all phases of the computing system 
lifecycle, from specification and development to run time and maintenance.

ICPE deals with performance and associated quality attributes across all 
application domains. We encourage contributions that help extend the 
state-of-the-art in particular, but not exclusively, in the following areas:

    - Measurement and Empirical Evaluation
    - Modeling
    - Design and Development Processes
    - Managing Systems at Runtime
    - Platform-Related Optimizations
    - Benchmarking

ICPE caters to a wide range of submission types with five distinct submission 
tracks:

    - Research track for regular research papers on the conference topics
    - Industry track for contributions connecting to the industry
    - Artifact track for sharing software and data artifacts
    - Emerging research track for discussing novel topics
    - Poster and demo track for short interactive contributions
    - Tutorials track for presentations by leading scientists and practitioners
    - Workshops track for specific aspects of performance engineering
    - Data challenge track for addressing the challenges presented by a 
      performance dataset

The conference proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library.

WORKSHOPS
---------

Title: The 1st Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Performance Modeling, 
       Prediction, and Control (AIPerf 2023)
Scope: AIPerf aims to bring together AI practitioners and performance engineers 
       and promote the dissemination of research works that use or study AI 
       techniques for quantitative analysis of modern ICT systems.
Link: https://aiperf.github.io/aiperf2023/

Title: The 1st Practically FAIR 2023 (FAIR 2023)
Scope: FAIR Data Principles seek to address Findability, Accessibility, 
       Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. The FAIR workshop 
       aims to offer insights into the practical coding/software engineering 
       aspects of adopting FAIR.

Title: The 1st FastContinuum Workshop (FastContinuum 2023)
Scope: The goal of the FastContinuum workshop is to foster discussion and 
       collaboration among researchers from cloud/edge/fog/computing continuum 
       and performance analysis communities, to share the relevant topics and 
       results of the current approaches.

Title: The 1st Workshop on Serverless, Extreme-Scale, and Sustainable Graph 
       Processing Systems (GraphSys 2023)
Scope: GraphSys is a cross-disciplinary meeting venue focusing on the 
       state-of-the-art and the emerging graph processing systems. Its goal 
       is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and expertise in the broad field 
       of high-performance large-scale graph processing.

Title: The 6th Workshop on Hot Topics in Cloud Computing Performance 
       (HotCloudPerf 2023)
Scope: The HotCloudPerf workshop proposes a meeting venue for academics and 
       practitioners, from experts to trainees, in the field of cloud computing 
       performance. It focuses on novel cloud properties such as elasticity, 
       performance isolation, dependability, and other non-functional system 
       properties, in addition to classical performance-related metrics such as 
       response time, throughput, scalability, and efficiency.

Title: The 11th International Workshop on Load Testing and Benchmarking of Software 
       Systems (LTB 2023)
Scope: The LTB series of workshops brings together software testing and software 
       performance researchers, practitioners, and tool developers to discuss the 
       challenges and opportunities of conducting research on load testing and 
       benchmarking software systems.

Title: The 2nd International Workshop on Performance-Data Analytics and 
       Data-Management (PANDA 2023)
Scope: The PANDA workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners 
       from the domains of performance engineering, data analytics, data management, 
       and system automation to foster the growth of an active community to advance 
       the methods for automated performance engineering.

Title: The 4th Workshop on Education and Practice of Performance Engineering    
       (WEPPE 2023)
Scope: The goal of the WEPPE workshop is to bring together University researchers 
       and Industry Performance Engineers to share education and practice experiences. 
       We are interested in creating opportunities to share experiences between 
       researchers that are actively teaching performance engineering and of 
       Performance Engineers that are applying Performance Engineering techniques in 
       industry.
