Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation

SPEC Benchmark Workshop 2009

January 25, 2009
Austin, Texas

The goal of the SPEC 2009 Workshop is to provide a forum for academia and industry to discuss the practice of system performance evaluation by the sharing of ideas and experiences. The workshop will bring together developers and users of performance evaluation software and will be held on Sunday, January 25, 2009 in Austin, Texas, in conjunction with SPEC’s Annual meetings.

Presentations will center on novel performance evaluation strategies; new benchmark design; use of benchmarks in industry, academia and government; and workload characterization. While traditional areas of performance evaluation are solicited, papers addressing the emerging areas related to evaluating power, reliability, virtualization scalability and security are also of interest.

The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) invites the performance evaluation community to submit full papers and extended abstracts on a range of topics relevant to performance evaluation. All accepted papers will be published by Springer as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Submission guidelines:
Full (20 page) and short (8 page) papers are solicited. Submissions should be formatted according to the LNCS format (see author's instructions given on http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair.
