Modern systems, such as big data and machine learning=20 environments, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks,=20 peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the=20 Internet of Things or more traditional ones such as web-based or real- time systems, rely increasingly on distributed and dynamic architectures=20 and pose a challenge to their end-to-end performance management. ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report=20 state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of=20 software and systems, including performance measurement, modeling,=20 benchmark design, and run-time performance management. The focus is both=20 on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource=20 utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as well as on the relationship of=20 such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to=20 scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, cost, sustainability,= =20 security and privacy. The systems of interest include any type of computing= =20 or software system, such as (but not limited to) desktop systems, cloud=20 systems, web-based systems, embedded systems, distributed systems and=20 cyber-physical systems. The handling of performance issues at all stages=20 of software and system life cycles is also of interest. This year, we particularly encourage researchers to submit their work on=20 the performance engineering of =E2=80=98modern=E2=80=99 application domains= as well, such=20 as deep learning, blockchain, microservices, Big Data, DevOps and/or=20 Autonomous Systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Performance modeling of software: * Languages and ontologies * Methods and tools * Relationship/integration/tradeoffs with other QoS attributes * Analytical, simulation and statistical modeling methodologies * Machine learning and neural networks * Model validation and calibration techniques * Automatic model extraction * Performance modeling and analysis tools =20 Performance and software development processes/paradigms: * Software performance testing * Software performance (anti-)patterns * Software/performance tool interoperability (models and data interchange f= ormats) * Performance-oriented design, implementation and configuration management * Software Performance Engineering and Model-Driven Development * Gathering, interpreting and exploiting software performance annotations a= nd data * System sizing and capacity planning techniques * (Model-driven) Performance requirements engineering * Relationship between performance and architecture * Performance and agile methods * Performance in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) * Software and system scalability and its impact on performance Performance measurement, monitoring and analysis: * Application tracing and profiling * Workload characterization techniques * Experimental design * Tools and techniques for performance testing, measurement, profiling and = tuning,=20 * and analysis of the resulting data Benchmarking * Performance metrics and benchmark suites * Benchmarking methodologies * Development of parameterizable, flexible benchmarks * Benchmark workloads and scenarios * Use of benchmarks in industry and academia Run-time performance management and adaptation * Machine learning and runtime performance decisions * Context modeling and analysis * Runtime model estimation * Use of models at run-time * Online performance prediction * Autonomic resource management * Utility-based optimization * Capacity management Power and performance, energy efficiency * Power consumption models and management techniques * Tradeoffs between performance and energy efficiency * Performance-driven resource and power management All other topics related to performance of software and systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in another 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 papers for ongoing innovative work. Different acceptance criteria apply based on the expected content of the individual contribution types. Authors will be requested to self-classify their papers according to the provided topic areas when submitting their papers. Submissions to all tracks need to be uploaded to ICPE's submission system and conform to the ACM submission format. 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 be published in the ICPE 2021 conference proceedings that will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted research papers are invited to submit an artifact to the ACM/SPEC ICPE 2021 Artifact Track. 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. 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.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PROGRAM COMMITTEE (RESEARCH PAPERS) Jose Nelson Amaral, University of Alberta, Canada Varsha Apte, IIT Bombay, India Alberto Avritzer, eSulabSolutions, USA Steffen Becker, University of Stuttgart, Germany Simona Bernardi, Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain Andre Bondi, Software Performance and Scalability Consulting LLC, USA Ivona Brandic, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Lubomir Bulej, Charles University, Czech Republic Radu Calinescu, University of York, England Valeria Cardellini, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy Tse-Hsun (Peter) Chen, Concordia University, Canada=20 Lucy Cherkasova, ARM Research, USA Vittoria De Nitto Person=C3=A8, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy Antinisca Di Marco, University of L'Aquila, Italy Wilhelm Hasselbring, Kiel University, Germany Nikolas Roman Herbst, University of W=C3=BCrzburg, Germany Alexandru Iosup, Vrije Universiteit, Netherlands Pooyan Jamshidi, University of South Carolina, USA Evangelia Kalyvianaki, University of Cambridge, England=09 Samuel Kounev, University of W=C3=BCrzburg, Germany Anne Koziolek, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Heiko Koziolek, ABB Corporate Research, Germany Diwakar Krishnamurthy, University of Calgary, Canada Philipp Leitner, Chalmers | University of Gothenburg, Sweden Marin Litoiu, York University, Canada Catalina M.
