EPEW 2015

The European Performance Engineering Workshop is an annual event that aims to gather academic and industrial researchers working on all aspects of performance engineering.

EPEW 2015 is co-located with CONCUR 2015, FORMATS 2015, QEST 2015 and TGC 2015. For information on all the conferences, check the co-location event MADRID MEET 2015.
