WOSP is a forum for researchers interested in the intersection of Software
Engineering and Performance Evaluation. Software Performance
Engineering (SPE) research aims to build predictable performance
into software by specifying and analysing quantitative behaviour
from the early development phases of a system throughout its
entire life cycle. Analysis may be based on various kinds
of modelling, design and measurement tools. Modern software
systems are complex (distributed over a wide area, mobile,
running on heterogeneous platforms, belonging to different
administrative domains) and often have strict performance
and scalability requirements. This workshop brings together
software engineers, developers, performance analysts and modellers
who address the challenges of increasing system complexity,
rapidly evolving software technologies, short time to market,
incomplete documentation, and less than adequate quantitative
models and tools. We expect a strong mixture of academic and
industrial participation.
The previous WOSP events were held in Santa Fe, NM (1998),
Ottawa, Canada (2000), Rome, Italy (2002) and San Francisco,
CA (2004). Building on their success, this workshop provides
a forum for the growing community of SPE researchers and practitioners
interested in quantitative analysis of software systems, at
any stage of software development.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the areas
listed below. The emphasis is on software system performance,
especially from the middleware up to the application level:
• SPE Process and Practices:
• Defining and managing performance
goals and requirements
• Performance budgeting for
development groups
• System and software architecture
assessment
• Performance-oriented design/implementation
• Performance annotation of
software specifications
• Experience with SPE
• Modelling Tools and Techniques:
• Performance evaluation methods-tools-frameworks
• Gathering and exploiting data
• Automated model building from
software specifications
• Capturing user behaviour and
QoS requirements in software performance models
• Model and data interchange
formats
• SPE in the context of OMG's
Model Driven Architecture (MDA)
• Methods and tools to guarantee
Quality of Service of adaptive/intelligent software applications
• Performance Measurement, Modelling, and Management
for Software Systems:
• Performance testing methods
and tools
• Measurement and monitoring
techniques and services
• Analysis of measured data
• Quality of Service of applications
• Autonomic systems
• Performance modelling of software
applications
• Performance modelling of software
architectures
• Performance modelling of software
analysis and design models.
• Performance modelling and
evaluation of software components within Intelligent Systems:
performance ontologies, performance-oriented knowledge representation,
natural interaction software.
• Middleware performance
• Component-based system performance
Important Deadlines:
• December 3 – paper submission deadline.
• March 1 – author notification.
• April 15 – camera ready due.
Please submit:
• Full papers (up to 12 two-column proceedings pages,
prepared using standard ACM proceedings format at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html),
with research results and advances of the state of the art.
• Experience papers, up to 8 pages, on practical aspects.
• Working session proposals, up to 2 pages explaining
the issues to be discussed.
• Tutorial proposals, up to 2 pages outlining the coverage,
and including the intended duration (90 minutes, three hours,
or six hours).
Tutorial and working session proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Tutorial
and Programme Chairs, respectively. All other submissions should be made electronically
using the paper submission site. Simultaneous or similar
submissions to other conferences or journals are not allowed.
