Companion of the 15th ACM/SPEC International Conference

It is our great pleasure to present the ICPE 2024 workshops program. ICPE workshops extend the main conference by providing a forum to foster discussion on hot and emerging topics from the broad field of performance engineering. They offer a highly dynamic venue to exchange ideas, establish new collaborations, and bootstrap debates on novel techniques, methodologies, and their associated early research results. Workshops feature various presentation formats, including research paper presentations, panel discussions, and keynote talks. Through these presentations and discussions with peer researchers, ICPE workshops help shape future research and identify promising research directions for performance engineering.
