Scope
----------------------------------
Modern software engineering is becoming increasingly complex. Especially in high-performance computing (HPC), with cutting-edge infrastructure and novel problems of  unprecedented scale, monitoring and analyzing the performance of such applications and infrastructure has become essential for their improvement, design, and maintenance. In the current era, the development and maintenance of these applications are no longer  the sole responsibility of computer scientists. Instead, they involve a diverse group of experts, including mathematicians, scientists, and engineers from various disciplines. Many of these developers lack formal computer science training and increasingly  rely on tools created by computer scientists to analyze and optimize their code. This growing interdependence highlights the need for a collaborative forum where different stakeholders can work together effectively.

Topics of Interest
----------------------------------
PERMAVOST aims to bring together key stakeholders -- application developers, domain scientists, performance analysts, and tool developers --to collaborate and bridge  gaps in the following areas:  Key metrics, patterns, and performance pitfalls:  Identifying strategies to recognize and leverage performance insights to enhance application efficiency.

* Emerging challenges: Addressing issues arising  from new computing architectures, programming paradigms, novel scientific problems, and the processing of data at varying scales.
* Usability in performance tools: Exploring how  modern usability design principles can be integrated into performance analysis tools to better support their users.
* Broad-spectrum accessibility: Developing analysis  methods and methodologies that cater to users with varying levels of HPC expertise. 

Tracks
----------------------------------
We solicit papers which encompass the following topics of interest, but are not limited to:  Performance analysis and modeling of real-world applications

* Data visualization for performance analysis
* Usability studies and user-centric design of HPC tools
* Inefficiencies in programming patterns and computing architectures
* Patterns, anomaly detection, and performance characterization in HPC applications
* Performance engineering strategies, methodologies, and use cases
* Human-computer interfaces for performance data exploration
* Energy efficiency and management in performance analysis and engineering
* Performance analysis in emerging HPC domains, including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, Containers, and Cloud computing

Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceeding as part of the ACM Digital Library.

Format and Proceedings
----------------------------------
The length of the paper is 6-8 pages, including the bibliography. Each submission will undergo a minimum of three single-blind  peer reviews. Review criteria will include the originality, technical soundness, potential impact, significance, and quality of presentation. The papers must be submitted online through EasyChair in PDF using the ACM master template format. The accepted papers  will be published along with the HPDC proceedings.

Sincerely,
