Session details: WOSP'16

Abstract

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 Workshop on Challenges in Performance Methods for Software Development -- WOSP-C'16. This second edition of our workshop continues to explore the challenges and to identify the most promising lines of attack on them. As such, this workshop repeats some aspects of WOSP98, the initial Workshop on Software and Performance, which successfully identified the issues of that time. The acronym WOSP-C reflects this. A third of the time will be devoted to discussion on identifying the key problems and the most fruitful lines of future research. WOSP-C continues to give researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives on the future challenges of software performance engineering. We also encourage attendees to attend the invited talk by Murray Woodside. This talk, the paper presentations, and the discussions at the workshop will guide us to a better understanding of the future of software performance engineering.
