-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ICPE 2016: Joint Call for Workshop Papers Datum: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 05:58:48 +0100 (CET) Von: Alexander Wert <alexander.wert(a)novatec-gmbh.de> An: AISWORLD(a)lists.aisnet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JOINT CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS ICPE 2016 7th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering A Joint Meeting of WOSP/SIPEW sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS, SIGSOFT, and SPEC Delft, The Netherlands 12-18 March 2016 http://icpe2016.spec.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WORKSHOPS The following workshops are organized in conjunction with ICPE 2016: - 5th International Workshop on Large-Scale Testing (LT 2016) - 2nd International Workshop on Performance Analysis of Big data Systems (PABS 2016) - 2nd Workshop on Challenges in Performance Methods for Software Development (WOSP-C 2016) A brief overview of all workshops is given below. For more information, visit the conference website at https://icpe2016.spec.org/conference-workshops.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON LARGE-SCALE TESTING (LT 2016) ABSTRACT Many large-scale software systems (e.g., e-commerce websites, telecommunication infrastructures, enterprise systems, etc.) must service hundreds, thousands or even millions of concurrent requests. Many field problems of these systems originate in their inability to scale to field workloads, rather than feature bugs. In addition to conventional functional testing, these systems must be tested with large volumes of concurrent requests (called the load) to ensure the quality of these systems. Large-scale testing includes all different objectives and strategies of testing large-scale software systems using load. Examples of large-scale testing are live upgrade testing, load testing, high availability testing, operational profile testing, performance testing, reliability testing, stability testing and stress testing. Large-scale testing is a difficult task requiring a great understanding of the system under test. Practitioners face many challenges such as tooling (choosing and implementing the testing tools), environments (software and hardware setup) and time (limited time to design, test, and analyze). Yet, little research is done in the software engineering domain concerning this topic. Moreover, prior large-scale testing research is largely focused on telecommunication applications and web-based e-commerce systems. Industry is focused primarily on creating tools to automatically drive specified load into the system under test (e.g., LoadRunner or Apache JMeter). In this workshop, we intend to bring together industrial practitioners and researchers to establish and grow an academic research community around this important and practical research topic. Especially as large-scale testing is gaining more importance, due to an increasing number of systems (on-premise and/or cloud-based systems) that need to serve thousands or millions of users. WORKSHOP WEB SITE INCLUDING A DETAILED CALL FOR PAPERS http://lt2016.eecs.yorku.ca IMPORTANT DATES Intent to submit 16 November 2015 Submit by: 23 November 2015 Notification to authors: 4 December 2015 Camera-ready copy: 8 December 2015 Presentation track: 1 February 2016 Talk notifications: 8 February 2016 Workshop date: 12 March 2016 SUBMISSION We solicit the following two tracks of submissions: technical papers (maximum 4 pages) and presentation track for industry or experience talks (maximum 700 words extended abstract). Technical papers should follow the standard ACM SIG proceedings format and need to be submitted electronically via EasyChair. Short abstracts for the presentation track need to be submitted as "abstract only" submissions via EasyChair. ORGANIZERS Christian Vögele, fortiss GmbH, Germany Zhen Ming (Jack) Jiang, York University, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2ND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BIG DATA SYSTEMS (PABS 2016) ABSTRACT Today, big data systems deal with volume, velocity, variety and veracity of the application data which may be deployed on dedicated single high performance systems (such as Netezza), dedicated commodity based clusters or shared architectures such as clouds. We witness an explosive growth in the complexity, diversity, number of deployments and capabilities of big data processing systems such as Map-Reduce, Hbase, Hive, Cassandra, Big Table, Hyracks, Dryad, Pregel and Mongo DB. The big data system may use new operating system designs, advanced data processing algorithms, parallelization of application, high performance computing architectures such as GPUs etc. and clusters to improve the performance. Looking at the volume of data to mine, and complex architectures, one may need to monitor, analyze, identify or predict bottlenecks to optimize the system and improve its performance. The workshop on performance analysis of big data systems (PABS) aims at providing a platform for scientific researchers, academicians and practitioners to discuss techniques, models, benchmarks, tools and experiences while dealing with performance issues in big data systems. The primary objective is to discuss performance bottlenecks and improvements during big data analysis using different paradigms, architectures and technologies such as Map-Reduce, Hbase, MPP, Big Table, NOSQL, graph based models and any other new upcoming paradigms. We propose to use this platform as an opportunity to discuss systems, architectures, tools, and optimization algorithms that are parallel in nature and hence make use of advancements to improve the system performance. This workshop shall focus on the performance challenges imposed by big data systems and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. WORKSHOP WEB SITE INCLUDING A DETAILED CALL FOR PAPERS http://ripsac.web2labs.net/pabs IMPORTANT DATES Submit by: 25 November 2015 Notification to authors: 8 December 2015 Camera-ready copy: 10 December 2015 Workshop date: 12 March 2016 SUBMISSION Submissions describing original, unpublished recent results related to the workshop theme, up to 6 pages in standard ACM format can be submitted through the EasyChair conference system. ORGANIZERS Rekha Singhal, Performance Engineering Research Centre, TCS Innovations Lab, India Dheeraj Chahal, Performance Engineering Research Centre, TCS Innovations Lab, India ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2ND WORKSHOP ON CHALLENGES IN PERFORMANCE METHODS FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT (WOSP-C 2016) ABSTRACT There are new challenges to product performance due to changes in software and in the development process. Faster development means less time for performance planning. The need for scalability and adaptability increases the pressure while introducing new sources of delay in the use of middleware. Model-driven engineering, component engineering and software development tools offer opportunities, but their exploitation requires effort and carries risks. This second edition of WOSP-C will explore the challenges and seek to identify the most promising lines of attack on them, through a combination of research and experience papers, vision papers describing new initiatives and ideas, and discussion sessions. Papers describing new projects and approaches are particularly welcome. As implied by the title, the workshop focus is on methods usable anywhere across the life cycle, from requirements to design, testing and evolution of the product. The discussions will attempt to map the future of the field. This workshop repeats some aspects of WOSP98, the initial Workshop on Software and Performance, which successfully identified the issues of that time. The acronym WOSP-C reflects this. There will be sessions which combine papers on research/experience/vision papers with substantial discussion on issues raised by the papers or the attendees. About a third of the time will be devoted to discussion on identifying the key problems and the most fruitful lines of future research.

The main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 15th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016) will be held on June 5-7 2016, in Cyprus. CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS We invite submissions on new and innovative research results and industrial experience reports in the area of software reuse. The guiding theme of ICSR 2016 is: Software reuse: bridging with social-awareness Development online social networks are gaining ground lately with software engineers participating in different fora collaborating and exchanging ideas and expertise. Software reuse needs to utilize, but also strengthen, this new form of synergies that can be built among engineers. ICSR special theme aims to bring this aspect in software reuse by raising social-awareness, strengthening the existing platforms and tools, and utilizing the vast software information that exists in development social networks. Amongst the numerous important challenges we identified the following major topics for research focusing on reuse with social-awareness: Â· Social network interactions between developers to support software reuse Â· Utilization of online social development tools for software reuse Â· Software reuse to enhance social-awareness Â· Trust, security and semantic issues of social aspects of software reuse Beyond those novel challenges for software reuse, we solicit submissions dealing with all aspects of software reuse, including, but not limited to the following ones: Â· Domain analysis and modelling Â· Asset search and retrieval Â· Architecture-centric reuse approaches Â· Component-based reuse Â· Service-oriented architectures Â· COTS-based development and reuse of open source assets Â· Generative development Â· Domain-specific languages Â· Software composition and modularization Â· Model-driven development Â· Reengineering for reuse Â· Software product line techniques Â· Quality assurance for software reuse, such as testing and verification Â· Reuse of non-code artifacts (process, experience, etc.) Â· Economic models of reuse Â· Benefit and risk analysis, scoping Â· Legal and managerial aspects of reuse Â· Transition to software reuse Â· Industrial experience with reuse Â· Light-weight reuse approaches Â· Agile reuse Â· Software evolution and reuse Â· Reuse for mobile and ubiquitous applications Paper Submission Novel and well-founded work in the wider area of software reuse is highly welcome.

It is a major disruptive force which is transforming businesses, communication patterns between individuals, organizations and governments and changing everyday life of each and every individual irrespective of sex, race, nationality, religion and many other diversity factors. Social media is diffusing worldwide from remote villages in Vietnam to mountains of Siberia. It is changing how we read the news, teach, listen to music, watch TV and movies, conduct research, contact and communicate with peers, relatives and spouses, read books, get information and on and on. We are building like-minded communities of people we may never meet or even see but can communicate. Given this disruptive revolution it is necessary to study “Why’ and ‘How’ it is happening and ‘When’ and ‘What’ we can expect from this disruptive force. Social media generates ‘mega’ data which can be used to detect, extrapolate and brainstorm to find ”nuggets”. Many have referred to this as big data. To study the four factors (4F’s: why, how, when and what), we divide its users as individuals (I), businesses (B), communities (C) and countries (CT). Any time a new disruptive force emerges there is the “good”, “bad” and “ugly” impact of it. Good is which is both legal and ethical, and ugly on the other extreme is both illegal and unethical. This creates a 4 (factors)x4 (stakeholders)x3(outcome) cube framework which can be used to study social media. Many research questions arise when we are working with such a gigantic system. Questions like why do individuals behave as they do and what good or ugly output comes out of this? How are businesses using this massive data to be more “custom-oriented”? How are groups using social media to create innovative products or innovative theories or how are they using this media to spread hate, terror or lies? How are countries involved in cyber warfare, hacking systems or introducing destructive viruses? Terrorism is becoming a global threat and social media is used for recruiting innocent young adults. Even the governments are having trouble competing with terrorists. Why small groups are defeating large technically sophisticated governments? Is it the message or poverty or just ignorance that is luring young kids? Why are young kids being lured by others via social networks? These questions need to be addressed. Analytical techniques and emerging computing power is enabling researchers to address some of these questions. Social media, though popular, also faces many challenges of customs, socialization and politics. This is compounded due to its global nature. There is no consensus in what is good, bad or ugly on the internet. Researchers are constantly addressing these issues. As old issue are resolved, new challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such as information systems, social sciences, international management, leadership and political science. Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying theory and frameworks. This track will attempt to accomplish these objectives. Since social networking includes many different areas, we expect contributions from researchers beyond information system discipline.
