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.

This year's main theme is “continuous performance assurance in agile
delivery”.
