CALL FOR PAPERS New Deadlines Registration of abstract (non-mandatory): July 15, 2020 Paper Submission: August 15, 2020 Acceptance Notification: September 15, 2020 ========================================================== 2020 BenchCouncil International Symposium on Benchmarking, Measuring and Optimizing (Bench'20) http://www.benchcouncil.org/bench20/index.html Nov. 14th - Nov. 16th, 2020, Atlanta, Georgia, USA ========================================================== Introduction ---------------- Benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing are fundamental human activities. The organizing committee is pleased to invite you to take part in Bench'20 to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This symposium (Bench'20) is organized by the International Open Benchmarking Council (BenchCouncil). Bench'20 overlaps with SC 20 (same place and same time), but it is NOT affiliated with the SC conference. The main themes of Bench'20 are benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing systems and applications in the areas of big data, AI, block chain, HPC, datacenters, IoT, and edge computing. The Bench conference has three defining characteristics. First, it provides a highquality, single-track forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further the knowledge and understanding of the benchmark community as a whole. Second, it is a multi-disciplinary conference. The past conferences attracted the researchers and practitioners from the architecture, systems, algorithms, and applications communities. Third, it includes both invited sessions and contributed sessions. Regularly, Bench'20 will present the BenchCouncil Achievement Award ($3000), the BenchCouncil Rising Star Award ($1000), and the BenchCouncil Best Paper Award ($1000). As its duty, BenchCouncil incubates and hosts benchmark projects, and further encourages reliable and reproducible research using the benchmarks from BenchCouncil or other organizations. To this end, we present the BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproducible Research to the papers using all publicly available benchmarks. Each winning paper earns a $100 prize, maximally up to 12 papers: 4 papers for each category of poster, spotlight, and oral. Call for papers ------------------------ Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. **Synthetics or real-world data sets of: **Benchmark, measurement, and optimization of: **Benchmark specifications and open-source implementation reports of: ** Methodologies, abstractions, metrics, algorithms, and tools in benchmarking, measurement, and optimization for: ** Benchmark-driven domain-specific co-design of: ** Test methodologies and systems of: ** Workload characterization of: -Big data -AI -HPC -Machine learning -Big scientific data -Datacenters -Cloud -Warehouse-scale computing -Mobile robotics -Edge and fog computing -IoT -Block chain -Data management and storage -Medicine, finance and education Paper Submission ------------------------ Papers must be submitted in PDF. For a full paper, the page limit is 15 pages in the LNCS format, not including references. For a short paper, the page limit is 8 pages in LNCS format, not including references. The submissions will be judged based on the merit of the ideas rather than the length. After the conference, the proceeding will be published by Springer LNCS (Indexed by EI). Please note that the LNCS format is the final one for publishing. After the acceptance decisions are made, the presentation mode of each paper is determined based on the recommendations as poster, spotlight, or oral. All accepted papers, regardless of presentation mode, appear in the proceedings as full-length papers. At least one author must pre-register for the symposium, and at least one author must attend the symposium to present the paper. Papers for which no author is preregistered will be removed from the proceedings.

The winner is eligible for the status of a BenchCouncil Fellow. * BenchCouncil Rising Star Award ($1,000) - This award recognizes a junior member who demonstrates outstanding potential for research and practice in benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing. * BenchCouncil Best Paper Award ($1,000) - This award recognizes a paper presented at the Bench conferences, which demonstrates potential impact on research and practice in benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing. * BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproduceable Research (Each winning paper earns a $100 prize, maximally up to 12 papers: 4 papers for each category of poster, spotlight, and oral) - BenchCouncil incubates and hosts benchmark projects, and further encourages reliable and reproducible research using the benchmarks from BenchCouncil or other organizations. To this end, we present the BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproducible Research to the papers using all publicly available benchmarks.
