CALL FOR PAPERS<br><br><span>SSPA</span> 2012 - International Workshop on Software and System Performance Analytics<br>
<br>June 15, 2012, Beijing, China (co-located with PLDI 2012)<br><br><a href="http://research.csc.ncsu.edu/ase/sspa/" target="_blank">http://research.csc.ncsu.edu/ase/<span>sspa</span>/</a><br><br>OVERVIEW<br>
<br>Performance
is one of the key properties of software and systems. For example,
responsiveness, throughput, and resource utilization are the three key
aspects of software and system performance. Modern software systems are
increasingly complex, being implemented upon layers of complicated
frameworks or technologies often with insufficient documentation, and
being distributed over wide-range regions, on heterogeneous platforms,
and within different administrative domains, posing challenges for
offering satisfactory performance.<br>
<br>This workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioners
interested in the intersection of compilers, programming languages,
software engineering, systems, high-performance computing, performance
engineering, machine learning, and data mining for addressing software
and system performance. The workshop focuses on developing and studying
analytic technologies (e.g., program analysis, statistical analysis,
machine learning, data mining, visualization) applied on various
software or system artifacts (e.g., requirements, designs,
implementations, tests, program traces, system logs) to address issues
in software and system performance (e.g., responsiveness, throughput,
and resource utilization). <br>
<br><span><span>We invite paper submissions (falling into the
above-mentioned workshop scope) of two kinds: (1) regular
papers with page limit of 8 pages, and (2) short papers with
page limit of 4 pages. We solicit short papers falling into
two categories: formal short papers to appear in the
proceedings, and informal short papers that will not; authors
choose the category at the time of submission. Presentations
of informal short papers are not precluded for future
publication at other conference venues or journals. </span></span><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br><br>Paper submission deadline (regular papers and formal short papers): March 28th, 2012<br>Paper submission deadline (informal short papers): April 4th, 2012<br>
Notification of acceptance: April 28th, 2012<br>Camera-ready deadline: May 12th, 2012<br>Workshop: June 15, 2012<br><br>Note: All submission deadlines are 11:59 PM (Pago Pago, American Samoa) on the dates indicated.<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION<br><br>Submissions must be in ACM proceedings format, 9-point
type, and may not exceed 8 pages (all inclusive) for regular papers and
not exceed 4 pages for short papers. Word and LaTeX templates for this
format are available here (<a href="http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm" target="_blank">http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm</a>). Submissions must be in PDF, printable on US Letter and A4 sized paper.<br>
<br>Regular papers or formal short papers must describe unpublished work
that is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere as discussed
here (<a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm" target="_blank">http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm</a>).<br>
<br>Submissions should be made via the workshop EasyChair submission site (<a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sspa2012" target="_blank">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sspa2012</a>).<br><br>
Each
regular paper or formal short paper submission is evaluated based on
significance, originality, and clarity. Each informal short paper
submission is evaluated based on relevance and interest to the workshop
audience along with significance and clarity.<br>
<br>Accepted regular papers and formal short papers will have their
accepted paper published in the ACM proceedings and included in the ACM
Digital Library. These authors of accepted papers are required to sign
an ACM copyright release. <br>
