CALL FOR PAPERS
==========================================================
2020 BenchCouncil International Symposium on Benchmarking,
Measuring and Optimizing
(Bench'20)
http://www.benchcouncil.org/bench20/index.html
Nov. 14th - Nov. 16th, 2020, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
==========================================================
Introduction
----------------
Benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing are fundamental human
activities. The organizing committee is pleased to invite you to
take part in Bench'20 to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This
symposium (Bench'20) is organized by the International Open
Benchmarking Council (BenchCouncil). Bench'20 overlaps with SC 20
(Same place and same time), but it is NOT affiliated with the SC
conference. The main themes of Bench'20 are benchmarking,
measuring, and optimizing Big Data, AI, Block Chain, HPC,
Datacenter, IoT, Edge and other things.
The Bench conference has three defining characteristics. First, it
provides a highquality, single-track forum for presenting results
and discussing ideas that further the knowledge and understanding
of the benchmark community as a whole. Second, it is a
multi-disciplinary conference. The past conferences attracted the
researchers and practitioners from the architecture, system,
algorithms and application communities. Third, it includes both
invited sessions and contributed sessions.
Regularly, Bench'20 will present the BenchCouncil Achievement
Award (3000$), the BenchCouncil Rising Star Award (1000$), and the
BenchCouncil Best Paper Award (1000$).
As its duty, BenchCouncil incubates, hosts benchmark projects, and
further encourages reliable and reproducible research using the
benchmarks from BenchCouncil or other organizations. To that end,
we present the BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproducible
Research to the papers using all publicly available benchmarks.
Each paper $100 prize, maximally up to 12 papers: 4 papers for
each category of poster, spotlight, and oral.
Call for papers
------------------------
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following.
**Synthetics or Real-world Data Sets of: **Benchmark, measurement,
and optimization of:
**Benchmark specifications and open-source implementation reports
of:
** Methodologies, abstractions, metrics, algorithms, and tools in
benchmark, measurement, and optimization for:
** Benchmark-driven domain-specific co-design of:
** Test methodologies and systems of:
** Workload characterization of:
-Big Data
-AI
-HPC
-Machine learning in HPC
-Big scientific data
-Datacenter
-Cloud
-Warehouse-scale computing
-Mobile robotics
-Edge and fog computing
-IoT

Paper Submission
------------------------
Papers must be submitted in PDF. For a full paper, the page limit
is 8 pages in standard two-column IEEE conference format or 12
pages in LNCS format, not including references. For a short paper,
the page limit is 4 pages in standard twocolumn IEEE conference
format or 6 pages in LNCS format, not including references. The
submissions will be judged based on the merit of the ideas rather
than the length. After the conference, the proceeding will be
published by Springer LNCS (Indexed by EI). Please note that LNCS
format is the final one for publishing.
After the acceptance decisions are made, the presentation mode of
each paper is determined based on the recommendations as poster,
spotlight, or oral. All accepted papers, regardless of
presentation mode, appear in the proceedings as full-length
papers.
At least one author must pre-register for the symposium, and at
least one author must attend the symposium to present the paper.
Papers for which no author is preregistered will be pulled from
the proceedings.

Awards
----------
At Bench'20, several important awards will be given, which
include:
* BenchCouncil Achievement Award ($3,000)
- This award recognizes a senior member who has made long-term
contributions to benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing. The
winner is eligible for BenchCouncil Fellow.
* BenchCouncil Rising Star Award ($1,000)
- This award recognizes a junior member who demonstrates
outstanding potential for research and practice in benchmarking,
measuring, and optimizing.
* BenchCouncil Best Paper Award ($1,000)
- This award recognizes a paper presented at the Bench
conferences, which demonstrates potential impact on research and
practice in benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing.
* BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproduceable Research
(Each paper $100 prize, maximally up to 12 papers: 4 papers for
each category of poster, spotlight, and oral)
- BenchCouncil incubates, hosts benchmark projects, and further
encourages reliable and reproducible research using the benchmarks
from BenchCouncil or other organizations. To that end, we present
the BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproducible Research to
the papers using all publicly available benchmarks.
