<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is the leading international forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas, innovations, trends and experiences in the field of performance engineering. Modern systems, such
as big data and machine learning environments, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks, peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things or more traditional ones such as web-based or real-time systems,
rely increasingly on distributed and dynamic architectures and pose a challenge to their end-to-end performance management.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to 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, cost, sustainability, security and privacy.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year's main theme is "performance engineering in the Artificial Intelligence era." We are looking for contributions that use AI techniques to enhance the performance modeling, estimation, and optimization of complex systems. At the
same time we are looking for contributions that analyze and improve AI systems.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in any other forum.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.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Authors will be requested to self-classify their papers according to the provided topic areas when submitting their papers.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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://icpe2019.spec.org/tracks-and-submissions.html<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 appear in the ICPE 2019 conference proceedings that will be published by ACM and included
in the ACM Digital Library.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Authors of accepted research papers are invited to submit an artifact to the ACM/SPEC ICPE 2019 Artifact Track. If an artifact is accepted, it will receive one of the following badges in the text of the paper and in the ACM Digital Library:
<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">i. Artifacts Evaluated - Functional: The artifacts are complete, well-documented and allow to obtain the same results as the paper.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ii. Artifacts Evaluated - Reusable: As above, but the artifacts are of such a high quality that they can be reused as is on other data sets, or for other purposes.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">iii. Artifacts Available: For artifacts made permanently available. This will only be awarded in conjunction with one of the Artifacts Evaluated badges.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.)<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
