ABOUT Bench
-----------
Evolving from nine BPOE/SDBA workshops in conjunction with ASPLOS,
VLDB, and ICS, Bench is an international multidisciplinary conference
on benchmarks, standards, data sets, evaluation, and optimization.
Bench 2024 is the 16th edition. The Bench conference encompasses a
wide range of topics in benchmarks, datasets, metrics, indexes,
measurement, evaluation, optimization, supporting methods and tools,
and industry best practices in computer science, AI, medicine, finance,
education, management, etc. Bench’s multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers
from different areas and communities to discuss practical and
theoretical work.
Bench 2024 invites manuscripts describing original work in the above
areas and topics. All accepted papers will be presented at the Bench
2024 conference and published by Springer (LNCS, Indexed by EI). In
addition, at least one of the authors of the TBench articles published
during the last year is requested to present their work at the Bench
conference.

TOPICS
------
The Bench conference encompasses a wide range of topics in benchmarks,
datasets, metrics, indexes, measurement, evaluation, optimization,
supporting methods and tools, and other best practices in computer
science, medicine, finance, education, management, etc. Bench’s
multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary emphasis provides an ideal
environment for developers and researchers from different areas and
communities to discuss practical and theoretical work. The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Benchmark science and engineering across multi-disciplines:
* The formulation of problems or challenges in emerging and future computing
* The benchmarks, datasets, and indexes in multidisciplinary applications,
e.g., medical, finance, education, management, psychology, etc.
* Benchmark-based quantitative approaches to tackle multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary challenges, industry best practices
Benchmark and standard specifications, implementations, and validations
* Big Data, Artificial intelligence (AI), High performance computing (HPC)
* Machine learning, Big scientific data, Datacenter, Cloud, Warehouse-scale computing
* Mobile robotics, Edge and fog computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain
* Data management and storage, Financial, Education, Medical or other application domains
Datasets
* Detailed descriptions of research or industry datasets,
including the methods used to collect the data and technical analyses
supporting the quality of the measurements
* Analyses or meta-analyses of existing data and original articles on systems,
technologies, and techniques that advance data sharing and reuse
to support reproducible research
* Evaluating the rigor and quality of the experiments used to generate
the data and the completeness of the data description
* Tools that can generate large-scale data while preserving their
original characteristics
Workload characterization, quantitative measurement, design, and evaluation studies
* Computer and communication networks, protocols and algorithms
* Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc and sensor networks, IoT applications
* Computer architectures, hardware accelerators, multi-core processors, memory systems
and storage networks
* HPC systems; Operating systems, file systems and databases; Virtualization, data centers,
distributed and cloud computing, fog and edge computing
* Mobile and personal computing systems, energy-efficient computing systems; real-time and
fault-tolerant systems, security and privacy of computing and networked systems,
software systems and services, and enterprise applications, social networks,
multimedia systems, web services, cyber-physical systems, including the smart grid
Methodologies, metrics, abstractions, algorithms, and tools

evaluation community should pursue
PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------
Papers must be submitted in PDF. For full papers, the page limit is
15 pages in the LNCS format, excluding references. For short
papers, the page limit is 12 pages in the LNCS format, excluding
references. The review process follows a strict dual-anonymous policy
per the established Bench conference norms. The submissions will be
judged based on the merit of the ideas rather than the length. After
the conference, the proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS
(Indexed by EI). Please note that the LNCS format is the final one for
publishing.
At least one author must pre-register for the symposium, and at least
one author must attend the symposium to present the paper. Papers for
which no author is pre-registered will be removed from the proceedings.
Formatting Instructions
Please make sure your submission satisfies ALL of the following
requirements:
* The submission must describe novel, unpublished work that is not currently
under review of any other conference venue or journal.
* All authors and affiliation information must be anonymized.
* Paper must be submitted in printable PDF format (LNCS format).
* Please number the pages of your submission.
* The submission must be formatted for black-and-white printers.
