The goal of the SPEC 2009 Workshop is to provide a forum for academia and
industry to discuss the practice of system performance evaluation by the
sharing of ideas and experiences. The workshop will bring together
developers and users of performance evaluation software and will be held
on Sunday, January 25, 2009 in Austin, Texas, in conjunction with SPEC's
Annual meeting.

Presentations will center on novel performance evaluation strategies; new
benchmark design; use of benchmarks in industry, academia and government;
and workload characterization.  While traditional areas of performance
evaluation are solicited, papers addressing the emerging areas related to
evaluating power, reliability, virtualization scalability and security are
also of interest.

Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, (SPEC) invites the
performance evaluation community to submit full papers and extended
abstracts on a range of topics relevant to performance evaluation. The
proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag (pending approval).

Submission guidelines:
Full (20 page) and short (8 page) papers are solicited.  Submissions
should be formatted according to the LNCS format (see author's
instructions given on http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously
or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this
workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format.
