The Symposium on Software Performance (SSP) brings together researchers and practitioners interested in software performance, where "performance" is understood both in a classical sense as "the amount of useful work accomplished by a software system compared to the time and resources used", as well as in a broader sense as "the manner in which or the efficiency with which a software system reacts or fulfills its intended purpose". The scope of SSP spans measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time management. The focus is both on classical performance metrics such as response time, throughput, and resource utilization, as well as on the relationship of such metrics to other software quality attributes including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, (energy) efficiency, dependability (in terms of availability and reliability), resilience, security, and privacy. Topics of interest include the design of metrics, benchmarks, and tools for quantitative system evaluation and analysis, as well as the development of methodologies, techniques, and tools for modeling, measurement, load testing, monitoring, profiling, workload characterization, and run-time management of software systems with respect to the mentioned quality attributes.
The symposium originates from the three established research groups Descartes, Kieker, and Palladio; thus this symposium also serves as a joint community meeting. Descartes' focus is techniques and tools for engineering self-aware computing systems designed for maximum dependability and efficiency. Kieker is a well-established tool and approach for monitoring the software performance of complex, large, and distributed IT systems. Palladio is a likewise-established tool and approach for modeling architectures of IT systems and for simulating quality properties, such as performance, or reliability metrics.
The 15th Symposium on Software Performance 2024 proposes a two-day meeting at the Johannes Kepler University Linz in Austria. SSP 2024 is supported by the GI special interest group "Softwaretechnik" and sponsored by Dynatrace.
In addition to invited talks from practitioners and researchers, we welcome contributions from academic, scientific, or industrial contexts in the field of software performance, including but not limited to approaches employing Descartes, Kieker, and/or Palladio.
Scope
Submissions are thought for plans, ongoing work, or results on:
- Software quality analysis in regard to:
- Performance
- Scalability and elasticity
- Energy efficiency
- Dependability and resilience
- Security and privacy
- Application performance measurement and management
- Performance measurement and benchmarking
- Performance modeling (modeling concepts, simulation, extraction and calibration)
- Automated run-time management of software systems
- Automated approaches for performance problem detection, diagnosis, and resolution
- Performance-related challenges in industrial software systems
- Application of Descartes, Kieker, or Palladio in projects
Please note that we explicitly welcome contributions that have already been (partially) presented at other events or in publications.
Types of Contributions
We solicit the following types of contributions:
- Technical papers (maximum 3 pages incl. references)
- Extended abstracts for industry or experience talks (maximum 700 words)
Submission Guidelines
Technical papers should follow the Softwaretechnik-Trends format and must be submitted electronically via EasyChair. Extended abstracts must be submitted as “abstract only” submissions (both in text and PDF format) via EasyChair.
We strongly encourage you to use our LaTeX template for your technical paper to minimize the need for adjustment if your submission is accepted. Make sure that the document uses a Times/Computer Modern font in 10 pt and that the paper size is A4.
