This regular publication will provide you with information on latest developments, news and announcements relevant to the benchmarking and quantitative system evaluation communities.

We are delighted to present to you the 4th issue of the SPEC Research Group Newsletter. This regular publication provides information on latest developments, news and announcements relevant to the benchmarking and quantitative system evaluation communities. Our newsletter is part of our mission to foster the exchange of knowledge and experiences between industry and academia in the field of quantitative system evaluation and analysis.

The past ten months have been very intense and exciting for the SPEC RG. To the major activities and milestones reached, we include: launching two new working groups: Big Data and DevOps Performance, intensive collaboration between academia and industry within the Cloud and IDS Benchmarking working groups, successfull organization of ICPE 2014 in Dublin and preparation of the ICPE 2015 in Austin, TX, and awarding Nadav Amit with the Distinguished Dissertation Award.

We have been actively working on preparation, planning and organization of the ICPE 2015 conference. We hope that the vivid exchange of ideas during the upcoming ICPE 2015 will be a great motivation for the next year of scientific and engineering work.

This issue of the Newsletter is the last issue of the first volume. We hope that you will enjoy reading it. We welcome and encourage your contributions for articles and suggestions for future coverage.
