ABOUT WOSP 2007
----------------
The complexity of modern software systems (autonomous, mobile, distributed)
often induces stringent quantitative behaviour requirements. Support is needed
at every stage of development and operation in order to ensure that such
requirements (e.g. efficiency and scalability) are met.
WOSP brings together software engineers, developers, performance analysts and
software/performance modellers who are addressing the challenges of: increasing
system complexity, rapidly evolving software technologies, short time to market,
incomplete documentation, and less-than-adequate methods, models and tools. The
focus of WOSP is therefore in the intersection of software and performance, and
not in any of these two disciplines in isolation.
 
 
 
TOPICS
-------
 
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following areas:
 
Performance modeling of software
 languages and ontologies
 methods and tools
 composing models
 capturing user behavior
Performance measurement and analysis
 software performance testing
 application performance measurement and monitoring
 analysis of measured application performance data
Performance and other quality attributes
 relationship/integration/tradeoffs with other QoS attributes
 relationship/integration/tradeoffs with cost and schedule
Performance and development processes
 software performance patterns and antipatterns
 software/performance tool interoperability (models and data interchange formats)
 performance oriented design, implementation and configuration management
 Software Performance Engineering and Model-Driven Development
 gathering, interpreting and exploiting software performance annotations and data
Performance evaluation in application domains (e.g. Web Services, Middleware,
Component-Based/Autonomous/Mobile/Intelligent/Adaptive/Embedded Systems)
 
 
 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------
 
WOSP 2007 encourages contributions describing basic research, novel applications and
experience reports. Experience papers are particularly fostered, as they contribute
to fill the gap between theory and practice in the WOSP domain.
In all cases, papers should carefully articulate the relevance of their contributions
to software performance engineering.
 

- Full papers with research results and advances to the state of the art (up to 12
two-column proceedings pages, prepared using standard ACM format at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html)
- Experience papers on practical aspects (from 5 to 10 pages).
- Working session proposals, up to 2 pages explaining the issues to be discussed.
- Tutorial proposals, up to 2 pages outlining the coverage, syllabus of topics, names
and background of presenters, and including the intended duration (90 minutes, three
hours, or six hours).
 

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
---------------------
 
The Journal of Systems and Software (Elsevier) has agreed to publish a special issue
with a selection of the WOSP 2007 best papers.
