The International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) 2023 (https://icpe2023.spec.org) was organised in Coimbra, by SSE member Marco Vieira as General Chair. ICPE originated 14 years ago from the fusion of an ACM workshop on software and performance prediction and a SPEC workshop focused on benchmarking and performance evaluation.
ICPE continues true to its origins with focus both on software performance modeling, prediction, and measurement as well as on benchmark-based performance evaluation. The areas to which such principles are applied have evolved over the years with the technological evolution in academia and industry.
