Third ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering
(ICPE 2012)
http://icpe2012.ipd.kit.edu
April 22-25, 2012, Boston, USA
Call for papers
The goal of the International Conference on Performance Engineering
(ICPE) is to
integrate theory and practice in the field of performance engineering by
providing a forum for sharing ideas and experiences between industry and
academia. ICPE is established as a joint meeting of the Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Standard Performance Evaluation
Corporation
(SPEC). The conference brings together researchers and industry
practitioners to
share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and report
state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of
software
and systems, including performance measurement, modeling, benchmark
design, and
run-time performance management. Topics of interest include:
Performance and software development processes
* Performance engineering for systems including but not limited to:
smart grids,
cloud platforms, sensor nets, manufacturing and handling, embedded
systems,
transportation control systems, multi-tier systems, event-driven systems
* Techniques to elicit and incorporate performance, availability, power and
other extra-functional requirements in the early stages of software
design
* Performance engineering as risk mitigation for software projects
* Agile, performance test driven, and/or model-driven performance
engineering
* Performance engineering in Commercial-of-the-Shelf (COTS) system
development
* Software performance patterns and anti-patterns
Performance modeling of software and systems
* Languages and ontologies for software performance engineering
* Specifying, interpreting and exploiting software performance
annotations and data
* Automatic model discovery during early stages of development
* Methods, tools, and tool interoperability
Performance measurement, and experimental analysis
* Performance measurement, monitoring, and workload characterization
techniques
* Test planning, tools for performance load testing, measurement,
profiling and tuning
* Automated model extraction for functional or partially functional systems
Performance prediction techniques for software and systems
* Analytic, simulation, statistical, AI-based, and hybrid modeling
methods for
performance prediction
* Performance prediction for multi-socket, multi-core platforms and
virtualized systems
* Model validation and calibration techniques
* Relationship/integration/tradeoffs among QoS attributes
Benchmarking, configuration, sizing, and capacity planning
* Benchmark design and benchmarking methods, metrics, and suites
* Development of new, configurable, and/or scalable benchmarks
* Use of benchmarks in industry and academia
* System configuration, sizing and capacity planning techniques
Run-time performance/power management/optimization
* Use of models for run-time configuration and/or management
* Online performance prediction and model parameter estimation
* Autonomic /self-adaptive resource management
* Power consumption models and management techniques
* Tradeoffs between performance and energy efficiency
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not
being
considered in another forum. A variety of contribution styles for papers
are
solicited including: basic and applied research, industrial experience
reports,
and work-in-progress/vision papers. Different acceptance criteria apply
for each
category. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM and
included in
the ACM Digital Library.
