In addition to invited talks from practitioners and researchers, we welcome contributions from academic, scientific, or industrial contexts in the field of software performance, including but not limited to approaches employing Descartes, Kieker, and/or Palladio.

We solicit the following types of contributions: technical papers (maximum 3 pages) and extended abstracts for industry or experience talks (maximum 700 words).

Registration is now open!

APM research project diagnoseIT launched

Posted on by

diagnoseIT logoQuality attributes of enterprise software applications such as performance, availability, and reliability have a significant impact on business critical metrics of enterprises such as revenue and total cost of ownership. Application Performance Management (APM) processes and tools are often facilitated and integrated into the application lifecycle to monitor performance-relevant metrics of the enterprise applications (e.g., response time, throughput, or resource utilization). APM is a necessity to detect and solve performance problems early.

Kieker’s Development in Five Minutes – 1.10

Posted on by

Using the tool Gource, we created a nice visualization showing the development of Kieker in only five minutes until the release of 1.10. The video contains parts of our Git history and shows not only how the project has grown since 2008, but also how many different developers already contributed to the project.

Monitoring of Remote Procedure Calls

Posted on by

In this blog post, the participants of the master’s project on “Distributed Monitoring”, which has been conducted at Kiel University in winter 2013/2014, report about their results:

Our task has been the development and implementation of concepts for monitoring remote procedure calls in distributed software systems, employing selected Java EE technologies. PubFlow, a distributed software system for scientific workflow automation, has served for the evaluation of the developed approach. We have used and extended a high-throughput tuned version of Kieker. ExplorViz has been used for live trace processing and visualization.
