ICPE 2020 - Postponed

Date: Apr 20, 2020 8:00 am – Apr 24, 2020 7:00 pm
Location: Edmonton, Canada

Update on ICPE 2020 in relation to Covid19 (Coronavirus)

Given the most recent developments on travel restrictions, the International Conference on Performance Engineering 2020 will not be held as planned in April 2020.

The ICPE sponsoring organizations are currently been consulted, and the ICPE Steering Committee will meet on March 19 2020.

After these consultations and meetings take place, an announcement about ICPE 2020 will be made in this website and via email communication to all registered participants and authors.

Thank you for your patience. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority.

11th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE 2020)

The International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) originated eleven years ago from the fusion of an ACM workshop on software and performance prediction and a SPEC workshop focused on benchmarking and performance evaluation.

ICPE continues true to its origins with focus both on software performance modeling, prediction, and measurement as well as on benchmark-based performance evaluation. The areas to which such principles are applied have evolved over the years with the technological evolution in academia and industry.

ICPE contributions appear at all levels of system and software design, performance modeling, and measurements of performance, from the cloud’s core to edge, from mobile devices to major data centers, from web applications to scientific applications.

The ICPE focus on engineering performance means that industrial practitioners and academics that participate in ICPE are interested in quantifying the performance impact of all aspects of complex systems design and implementation. Length of design cycles, life-time maintenance issues, quality of experience, costs to delivering a system or service are also the focus of the intellectual curiosity of ICPE participants.

In 2020 Edmonton is happy to host the ICPE community for their annual meeting.
