EPEW 2024

The concept of performance in EPEW 2024 is considered in its broadest sense including the notions of Quality of Service, scalability as well as reliability, availability and systems management, among the others. Therefore, of particular interest are the ideas introducing new methods for evaluating complex systems, as well as innovative applications of methodologies and known techniques to the latest generation of systems, networks and computer-based services.

EPEW 2024 seeks papers based on performance evaluation of systems from theoretical and practical viewpoint. Application of performance evaluation techniques to emerging technologies, like cyber-physical systems ranging from mobile devices and Internet-of-Things (IoT), fog and edge computing, applications to large-scale cloud computing systems, smart grids, security infrastructures, are among the topics of interest to EPEW 2024.

Post-Proceedings

The workshop is featuring post-proceedings this year, so we have a two-phase review process. We sollicit short papers of at most 7 pages for presentation at the conference, which will not be published. Authors of accepted short papers are then invited to submit a full paper with at most 15 pages for publication in the post-proceedings, which we plan to publish with Springer as LNCS volume.

Call for paper

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following topic areas:

Theoretical advances in performance modeling and evaluation:

• Probabilistic, stochastic, or performability models, such as Queueing Networks, Petri Nets, and Process Calculi;
• Specification of quantitative properties,
• Analytical and numerical solution techniques and simulation techniques,
• Quantitative model checking, equivalence checking, and static analysis
• Context-aware modelling and analysis techniques
• Machine learning and deep learning-based approaches for performance evaluation and analysis
• Multiformalism and Multiparadigm modelling approaches

System, software, and network performance engineering:

• Performance-oriented design, architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance
• Constraint-based and model-driven system design
• Performance analysis, simulation, and experimental design
• Benchmark design and benchmark-based evaluation and monitoring
• Automated interpretation of analysis results
• Quality of service, and trade-offs between security, performance, dependability, energy consumption, usability, etc.
• Software performance modeling languages, model composition and tool interoperability
• 6G and beyond

Case studies:

• Cloud systems, Hybrid Cloud, and Fog Computing Internet of Things
• Cyber-physical systems
• E-health systems
• Blockchain and Cryptocurrency applications
• Sharing services such as carshare and rideshare
• Electric vehicles and battery modelling
• Large-scale systems and scalability analysis of systems, robustness analysis of systems, resilience analysis of systems
• Industrial case studies, experience reports and tools, with a solid analysis and theoretical background

Submission

EPEW 2024 seeks workshop presentations, submitted in the form of 7 pages short research papers in LNCS format.

Authors of accepted short papers will be invited to submit an extend version of the short paper for publication in the post-proceedings.

The page limit of an article in the post-proceedings is 15 pages in LNCS format.

All page limits include tables, figures, and references.

All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity by the program committee. All papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through the EasyChair workshop website. Submissions must follow the LNCS proceedings format.
