Session details: PABS'16

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 ACM Workshop on Performance Analysis of Big Data Systems -- PABS'16 in conjunction with ICPE2016. The main objective of the workshop is to discuss the performance challenges imposed by big data systems and the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. The workshop aims at providing a platform for scientific researchers, academicians and practitioners to discuss techniques, models, benchmarks, tools and experiences while dealing with performance issues in big data systems. The program committee reviewed 4 and accepted 2 full technical papers with acceptance rate as 50%. We welcome attendees to attend the keynote, invited talk, tutorial and paper presentations. These valuable and insightful talks can and will guide us to a better understanding of the future: Challenges in Truly Scaling Services, Manish Gupta (Director, Xerox Research Center, India) Performance Engineering for In-Memory Databases: Models, Experiments and Optimization, Giuliano Casale (Sr. Lecturer, Imperial College London.) Big Data Applications Performance Assurance, Boris Zibitsker ( CEO BEZNext, USA) Tutorial on Challenges for Big Data Application Performance Tuning and Prediction, Rekha Singhal (Sr. Scientist, TCS Innovation Labs).
