SCOPE AND TOPICS
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. Nowadays, complex systems of all types,
like Web-based systems, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social
networks, peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical
systems, the Internet of Things, real-time and embedded systems, have
increasingly distributed and dynamic system architectures that provide
high flexibility, however, also increase the complexity of managing
end-to-end application performance.
ICPE 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. The focus is both
on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource
utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as well as on the relationship of
such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to
scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, and security.
This year's main theme is “continuous performance assurance in agile
delivery”.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Performance modeling of software
* Languages and ontologies
* Methods and tools
* Relationship/integration/tradeoffs with other QoS attributes
* Analytical, simulation and statistical modeling methodologies
* Model validation and calibration techniques
* Automatic model extraction
* Performance modeling and analysis tools
Performance and software development processes/paradigms
* Software performance patterns and anti-patterns
* Software/performance tool interoperability (models and data
interchange formats)
* Performance-oriented design, implementation and configuration
management
* Software Performance Engineering and Model-Driven Development
* Gathering, interpreting and exploiting software performance
annotations and data
* System sizing and capacity planning techniques
* (Model-driven) Performance requirements engineering
* Relationship between performance and architecture
* Collaboration of development and operation (DevOps) for performance
* Performance and agile methods
* Performance in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA)
* Performance of microservice architectures and containers

* Performance-driven resource and power management
Performance modeling and evaluation in different environments and
application domains
* Web-based systems, e-business, Web services
* Big data systems, deep-learning systems, and other data analytics
systems
* Internet of Things
* Social networks
* Cyber-physical systems
* Industrial Internet (Industry 4.0)
* Virtualization and cloud computing
* Autonomous/adaptive systems
* Transaction-oriented systems
* Communication networks
* Parallel and distributed systems

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not
being considered in another forum. A variety of contribution styles for
papers is solicited including: basic and applied research papers for
novel scientific insights, industrial and experience papers reporting on
applying performance engineering or benchmarks in practice, and
work-in-progress/vision papers for ongoing innovative work. Different
acceptance criteria apply based on the expected content of the
individual contribution types.
Authors will be requested to self-classify their papers according to
the provided topic areas when submitting their papers.
Submissions to all tracks need to be uploaded to ICPE's submission
system and conform to the ACM submission format. For detailed submission
instructions, please visit: https://icpe2018.spec.org/submissions.html.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register at
the full rate, attend the conference and present the paper. Presented
papers will be published in the ICPE 2018 conference proceedings that
will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library.
Authors of accepted research papers are invited to submit an artifact to
the ACM/SPEC ICPE 2018 Artifact Track.
The highest quality papers, judged by multiple relevant factors, will be
recognized with an award. Authors of selected papers will be invited to
submit an extended version of their work to a journal.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may
be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The
official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings
related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings
are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over,
the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.)

=======================================================================
Vacancies for doctoral researchers in the postgraduate program
“Uncertainty and Randomness in
Algorithms, Verification and Logic”
at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany
=======================================================================
Context.
The RWTH Aachen University is looking for enthusiastic and highly
qualified doctoral researchers. Several positions are available within
the interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) UnRAVeL founded by
the German Research Foundation DFG. The key emphasis of an RTG is on
the qualification of doctoral researchers with a focused research
program and a structured training strategy.
The RTG UnRAVeL aims to significantly advance probabilistic modelling
and analysis for uncertainty by developing new theories, algorithms, and
tool-supported verification techniques, and to apply them to core
problems from security (e.g., probabilistic protocols), planning
(robotics and railway engineering), and safety and performance analysis
(railway systems). To tackle these research challenges, theoretical
computer scientists from computer-aided verification, logic and games,
algorithms and complexity, together with experts from management science
(robust optimization), applied computer science (robotics and security),
and railway engineering intensively cooperate within our RTG.
Required profile.
Candidates must have (or soon obtain) a master degree in Computer
Science, Mathematics or related area and have completed their studies
with excellent grades. You should have interest in performing original,
highly competitive scientific research, publishing your results in top
conferences and scientific journals. Self-motivation and the ability to
work both independently and as a team player in local and international
research groups are expected. Fluency in English is required;
proficiency in German is helpful but not compulsory.
How to apply?
Your written application should contain:
- a curriculum vitae
- a transcript of records (list of courses and grades)
- a cover letter including a statement of interest in (some of) the
RTG topics that can be found on our web-site (see below).
All documents should be formatted as a single pdf-file.
You should send your application ultimately by ** November 1, 2017 (AoE)
** to the e-mail address: unravel-appl(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de
Any recommendation letters can be send separately to the e-mail address
above with the name of the applicant in the e-mail subject.
What do we offer?
We offer a stimulating international research environment, the
