ICPE 2017 8th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS, SIGSOFT, and SPEC RG L'Aquila, Italy April 22-26, 2017 https://icpe2017.spec.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES Posters and Demonstrations Submission: Dec 23, 2016 Posters and Demonstrations Notification: Jan 16, 2017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOPE AND TOPICS 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. Nowadays, complex systems of all types, like Web-based systems, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks, peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, real-time and embedded systems, have increasingly distributed and dynamic system architectures that provide high flexibility, however, also increase the complexity of managing end-to-end application performance. ICPE 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. The focus is both on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as well as on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, and security. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS Posters provide a forum for authors to present their work in an informal and interactive setting, allowing the authors and the interested participants to engage in discussions about the work presented. The contents of a poster should motivate the relevance of the presented work to the performance engineering community, briefly summarize the goals and status of the work, and provide pointers to further information and related work. Demonstrations provide an opportunity to showcase an existing tool or a research prototype, and would be also a welcome addition to an accepted research, work in progress, or industrial track paper. The authors are expected to prepare a 5-minute "teaser" presentation and subsequently perform a live demonstration on their own equipment during a dedicated demonstration session. Best Poster and a Best Demonstration prizes will be awarded in recognition of outstanding poster presentations or live demonstrations. More information can be found at https://icpe2017.spec.org/submissions/posters-and-demonstrations.html<https://icpe2017.spec.org/submissions/workshops.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION OPTIONS Both poster and demo submissions can be accompanied by a 2-page paper, clearly identifying the novelty of the ideas presented on a poster, or involved in building the showcased tool or a prototype. Demonstration papers may include uses cases or specific results presented during the live demonstration. Both poster and demonstration papers will be reviewed and will appear in the conference proceedings. The track is also open to submissions without an accompanying paper. In that case, a poster should be submitted as a 1-page document, while a demonstration should be submitted as a presentation slide-deck. Such submissions will be reviewed directly based on the submitted material. However, lacking a standard paper form, such submissions will not appear in the conference proceedings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers accompanying a poster or a demonstration must be in the standard ACM format for conference proceedings. The submissions should be clearly marked in the text as "Poster Paper" or "Demonstration Paper", and must not exceed 2 pages double column, including figures and tables. Poster-only submissions consist of a 1-page poster, in pdf file, with a format decided by the authors. Slides-only submissions consist of a presentation slide deck (e.g., ppt, odp, or pdf slides), with 5-10 slides. At least one author of each accepted demo or presentation is required to register at the full rate, attend the conference and present the paper. Presented papers will appear in the ICPE 2017 conference proceedings that will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism as well as to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions. Submit your contributions at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpe2017. Please select "ICPE 2017 Demo and Poster track” during the submission process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS CHAIR * Lubomir Bulej, Charles University, Czech Republic Please feel free to contact the posters and demonstration chair if you have any questions regarding this track. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ICPE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chairs * Walter Binder, Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland * Vittorio Cortellessa, Università dell'Aquila, Italy Research Program Chairs * Anne Koziolek, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany * Evgenia Smirni, College of William and Mary, USA Industry Program Chairs * Meikel Poess, Oracle, USA Tutorials Chair * Valeria Cardellini, Università di Roma Torvergata, Italy Workshops Chairs * Hanspeter Mössenböck, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Austria * Catia Trubiani, Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy Posters and Demos Chair * Lubomir Bulej, Charles University, Czech Republic Awards Chairs * Petr Tuma, Charles University, Czech Republic * Murray Woodside, Carleton University, Canada Local Organization Chair * Antinisca Di Marco, Università dell'Aquila, Italy Publicity Chairs * Andrea Rosà, Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland * Diego Perez, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Finance Chair * André van Hoorn, University of Stuttgart Publication and Registration Chair * Davide Arcelli, Università dell'Aquila, Italy Web Site Chair * Cathy Sandifer, SPEC, USA ------------ Andrea Rosà PhD student - Teaching assistant Faculty of Informatics - 2nd floor Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) Via G.
