SCOPE AND TOPICS
________________
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.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Performance Modeling and Analysis
* Modeling formalisms
* Analytical, simulation and statistical modeling methodologies
* Model validation and calibration techniques
* Use of models for online performance prediction
* Modeling and analysis tools
Performance-Oriented Design and Development
* Software performance engineering
* Performance patterns and anti-patterns
* Early cycle performance prediction
* Quantitative extensions of design-oriented models
* Component-based software performance engineering
* System sizing and capacity planning techniques
Benchmarking
* Performance metrics and benchmark suites
* Benchmarking methodologies
* Development of parameterizable, flexible benchmarks
* Evaluating energy efficiency
* Use of benchmarks in industry and academia
Workload Characterization and Experimental Performance Evaluation
* Performance measurement and monitoring techniques
* Workload characterization techniques
* Application tracing and profiling
* Performance tuning and optimization techniques
* Experimental design
* Tools for performance testing, measurement, profiling and tuning
Performance Case Studies in the Areas of
* Parallel and distributed systems
* Service-oriented architectures (SOA)
* Web services
* Enterprise middleware (Java EE, .NET)
* Message-oriented middleware
* Event-based systems
* Web-based systems, e-business
* Cluster and grid computing environments
* High-performance computing
* Virtualization platforms
* Communication networks
* Peer-to-peer systems
* Mobile and wireless systems
* (Wireless) sensor networks
* Real-time and multimedia systems
* Embedded systems
PAPER SUBMISSION
________________
All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three
independent referees. Papers will be evaluated according to their
significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and
relevance to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper
is expected to attend the workshop.
Two types of paper submissions will be accepted: full research papers
of up to 20 pages and short research/industry papers of up to 10 pages
formatted according to the LNCS format (see author's instructions
given on http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions
must be original and should not have been published previously or be
under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this
workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format
through EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sipew2008).
The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer as a
volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
