<p class=MsoNormal>SCOPE AND TOPICS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. ICPE is established as a joint meeting of the
ACM Workshop on Software and Performance (WOSP) and the SPEC International
Performance Evaluation Workshop (SIPEW). The conference 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. <o:p></o:p></p>
