ICPE 2026 (International Conference on Performance Engineering) is a ICORE B conference held in Florence, Italy on 2026-05-04. The paper submission deadline is 2025-11-10 (extended). Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-01-19.
Scope and Topics
The ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is the leading international forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas, innovations, trends, and experiences in the field of performance engineering.
Performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are becoming central to the acceptance and sustainability of modern computing systems. Digitalization brings computing technology closer to people and manages most aspects of their life. In turn, human interaction increasingly shapes the behavior of computing systems. As a result, our systems become more complex and, therefore, more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to be able to manage this complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustable, and performant.
ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report on open problems, state-of-the-art solutions, and in-progress research in performance engineering of software and systems - targeting performance and associated quality attributes such as efficiency and reliability in all phases of the computing system lifecycle, from specification and development to run time and maintenance.
ICPE deals with performance and associated quality attributes across any and all application domains. Here is a list of examples:
cyber-physical domain, IoT, industrial internet
communication networks, wireless and mobile
peer-to-peer environments, ad-hoc networks
SOA, microservices, web-based environments
big data systems, stream and graph processing
data-intensive systems, data analytics and data science
machine learning and artificial intelligence
HPC systems, cloud, edge, grid and fog
multimedia systems and applications
autonomous, resilient, adaptive and agentic systems and applications
