Message from the general chair

Abstract

Welcome to the fifth annual IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization being held from October 4th to October 6th, 2009 at the AT&T Conference Center at the edge of the University of Texas at Austin campus. IISWC started in Austin as the Workshop on Workload Characterization and has not been held in Austin since the very first IISWC held in 2005. It's good to be back.
