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. Today’s systems are complex, rely increasingly on dynamic architectures, and raise continuously important challenges related to end-to-end performance management. This applies equally to emerging domains, such as cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of Things, big data and machine learning environments, cloud/edge/fog infrastructures, and social networks, and also to traditional domains, such as web-based, data centers, mobile and wireless systems, and real-time systems.
ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of software and systems, including but not limited to performance modeling, analysis, measurement, benchmark design, and run-time performance management. The focus is both on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, and on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, cost, sustainability, security, and privacy.
This year’s main theme is “Performance Engineering under Uncertainty”.
Modern systems are subject to multiple sources of uncertainty due to openness, heterogeneity, versatility, and variability. The complexity of managing performance-related concerns under uncertainty is starting to overwhelm even the capabilities of large engineering teams. We are looking for contributions that use techniques to enhance the performance modeling, estimation, and optimization of complex systems while considering their intrinsic uncertainties. At the same time, we are looking for all the contributions that improve the state-of-the-art while analyzing the performance uncertainty of software systems.

Venue
he 11th edition of ICPE will be held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at the Sutton Place Hotel.
City of Edmonton
Edmonton is a vibrant city, with a metropolitan population of over 1.3 million people. It is home to world-class festivals, fantastic shopping, delicious dining, top accommodations and our famous river valley – the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America!
Sutton Place
The Sutton Place Hotel Edmonton, situated in the heart of downtown and immediately adjacent to the brand new ICE District, combines the perfect location, convenience, and modern renovated guest rooms all into one. Connected by an indoor pedway to Edmonton City Centre Mall, major office towers, 400 stores, and the Light Rail Transit (LRT), the hotel is an easy 10-minute walk to Rogers Place, the new home of the Edmonton Oilers, Shaw Conference Centre, Sir Winston Churchill Square, Citadel Theatre, Edmonton Art Gallery of Alberta, and Winspear Centre for the Performing Arts.
