<div dir="ltr">2014 International Workshop on Software and System Performance Testing, Debugging, and Analytics (PERTEA '14)<br>co-located with ISSTA 2014<br>Bay Area, CA, USA<br>July 21, 2014<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, architecture, 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>Call for Short Papers<br><br>We plan to accommodate
presentations of two kinds: (1) invited presentations from world leaders
in the area of performance analysis and (2) presentations of papers
that have been submitted to the workshop and selected by the program
committee. We will invite submissions of informal short papers with page
limit of 4 pages. Authors of the short papers will have the option of
publishing their papers in the ACM Digital Library. If authors choose
otherwise, the presentations of their papers are not precluded for
future publication at other conference venues or journals.<br><br>Important Dates<br><br>Paper submission deadline: April 10, 2014 <br>Notification of acceptance: May 10, 2014<br>Camera-ready deadline: TBD<br>Workshop: July 21, 2014<br>
<br>Note: All submission deadlines are 11:59 PM (Pago Pago, American Samoa) on the dates indicated.<br><br>Submission Instructions<br><br>Submissions
must be in ACM proceedings format, 9-point type, and may not exceed 4
pages. Word and LaTeX templates for this format are available here.
Submissions must be in PDF, printable on US Letter.<br><br>Submissions should be made via the workshop EasyChair submission site.<br><br>Each
informal short paper submission is evaluated based on relevance and
interest to the workshop audience along with significance and clarity.<br><br>Workshop Co-Chairs<br><br>Shan Lu (University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA)<br>Tao Xie (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA)<br>Harry Xu (University of California, Irvine, USA)<br>
