Overview:

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 meetings.

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.

The 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.
