<div>_________________________________________________________________________</div><div><br></div><div>The goal of the International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is</div><div>to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of performance</div>
<div>engineering by providing a forum for sharing ideas and experiences between</div><div>industry and academia. ICPE is established as a joint meeting of the</div><div>ACM Workshop on Software and Performance (WOSP) and the SPEC International</div>
<div>Performance Evaluation Workshop (SIPEW). The conference will bring together</div><div>researchers and industry practitioners to share and present their experiences,</div><div>discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on</div>
<div>performance engineering of software and systems, including performance</div><div>measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time performance management.</div><div><br></div><div>PROGRAM OUTLINE </div><div>___________________</div>
