<p>The Symposium on Software Performance (SSP) brings together
researchers and practitioners interested in software
performance, where "performance" is understood both in a
classical sense as "the amount of useful work accomplished by a
software system compared to the time and resources used", as
well as in a broader sense as "the manner in which or the
efficiency with which a software system reacts or fulfills its
intended purpose". The scope of SSP spans measurement, modeling,
benchmark design, and run-time management. The focus is both on
classical performance metrics such as response time, throughput,
and resource utilization, as well as on the relationship of such
metrics to other software quality attributes including but not
limited to scalability, elasticity, (energy) efficiency,
dependability (in terms of availability and reliability),
resilience, security, and privacy. Topics of interest include
the design of metrics, benchmarks, and tools for quantitative
system evaluation and analysis, as well as the development of
methodologies, techniques and tools for modeling, measurement,
load testing, monitoring, profiling, workload characterization,
and run-time management of software systems with respect to the
mentioned quality attributes.<br>
<br>
The symposium is organized by the three established research
groups Descartes, Kieker, and Palladio; thus this symposium also
serves as a joint community meeting. Descartes' focus are
techniques and tools for engineering self-aware computing
systems designed for maximum dependability and efficiency.
Kieker is a well-established tool and approach for monitoring
software performance of complex, large, and distributed IT
systems. Palladio is a likewise-established tool and approach
for modeling architectures of IT systems and for simulating
quality properties, such as for example performance or
reliability metrics.<br>
<br>
SSP 2021 is supported by the GI special interest group
"Softwaretechnik".<br>
