=============================================================================================

The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is a non-profit organization established
in August 1988. Over two decades, it has shaped the landscape of modern transaction processing
and database benchmarks. Over the last couple of years many new areas of very large database
applications has emerged stressing the ability of today's hardware and software infrastructures
e.g. Disaggregated Data Center, Hyperscale Data Center, Internet of Things, Artifical Intelligence,
Big Data, Social Media etc. Yet the industry is lacking standard ways to evaluate different
infrastructures. As a result, the TPC is conducting its 15th conference in conjunction with VLDB23
to encourage researchers and industry experts to submit novel ideas and methodologies in
performance evaluation, measurement, and characterization in the following areas:

* Artificial Intelligence * Disaggregated Data Center
* Hyperscale Data Center * Sustainability
* Big Data Analytics * Virtualization
* Cloud Computing * In-memory databases
* Social media infrastructure * Complex event processing
* Internet of Things * Hybrid workloads
* Database Optimizations * Blockchain
* Robotic and Automation

* Lessons learned in practice using TPC workloads
* General Enhancements to TPC workloads

Accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) and listed on ACM DL and DBLP. Selected papers will be considered for future
TPC benchmark developments.
