Performance Conferences
WOSP International Workshop on Software and Performance
June 23-28, 2008 in Princeton, NJ
The following is the stated goal of the workshop series:
The goal of software performance engineering (SPE) research is to build
predictable, adequate performance into systems by considering quantitative
behavior from a system's requirements stage through to its maintenance and
enhancement. Because of increasing system complexity, rapidly evolving software
technologies, short time to market, incomplete documentation, and inadequate
quantitative models and tools, performance engineering often represents the
most challenging aspect of system-building. Performance concerns transcend the
software engineering and performance evaluation communities. The goal of this
(and subsequent) workshops is to bring these communities together to begin to
jointly address these difficult problems. Practitioners and researchers are
invited to participate."
The proceedings are available through ACM www.acm.org
Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS, and in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT, IFIP WG 6.3 and 7.3.

Some conferences in the "TOOLS" series include:
- Fall 1995, Heidelberg, Germany
- Summer 1997, St. Malo, France
- Fall 1998, Palma de Mallorca, Spain — http://www.uib.es/tools98
- Spring 2000, Schaumburg, IL

QEST conferences include:
- 2004, Enschede, Netherlands
- 2005, Torino, Italy
- 2006, Riverside, CA
- 2007, Edinburgh, Scotland
- 2008, St. Malo, France
TOOLS proceedings are published by Springer in the LNCS series.
QEST proceedings are published and available online by IEEE Computer Science Press.
