The goal of the SPEC International Performance Evaluation Workshop 2008
is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of system
performance evaluation by providing a forum for sharing ideas and
experiences between industry and academia. The workshop will bring
together researchers and industry practitioners to share and present
their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and
in-progress research in all aspects of performance evaluation. The
workshop is co-located with and will take place immediately after a SPEC
meeting which will be attended by numerous representatives from
across the hardware and software industry. This will provide a unique
opportunity for researchers to meet with industry practitioners.
