SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------

The ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is
the leading international forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas,
innovations, trends, and experiences in the field of performance engineering.

Performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are becoming central to the
acceptance and sustainability of modern computing systems. Digitalization
brings computing technology closer to people and manages most aspects of
their life. In turn, human interaction increasingly shapes the behavior of
computing systems. As a result, our systems become more complex and, therefore,
more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to be able to manage this
complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustable, and performant.

ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report on open problems,
state-of-the-art solutions, and in-progress research in performance engineering
of software and systems - targeting performance and associated quality attributes
such as efficiency and reliability in all phases of the computing system
lifecycle, from specification and development to run time and maintenance.

ICPE deals with performance and associated quality attributes across all
application domains. We encourage contributions that help extend the
state-of-the-art in particular, but not exclusively, in the following areas:

• Measurement and Empirical Evaluation
• Modeling
• Design and Development Processes
• Managing Systems at Runtime
• Platform-Related Optimizations
• Benchmarking

ICPE caters to a wide range of submission types with five distinct submission
tracks:

• Research track for regular research papers on the conference topics
• Industry track for contributions connecting to the industry
• Artifact track for sharing software and data artifacts
• Emerging research track for discussing novel topics
• Poster and demo track for short interactive contributions

The conference proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library.
