Research Questions

  • The systematic literature review in this work is conducted following the

guidelines provided by Kitchenham/Charters (2007) and is guided by the following research questions (RQ):

– RQ 1: Which topics have been addressed in the papers published at the ICPE (respectively at its predecessors) in the time period from 1998 to 2014? – RQ 2: Which research facets, contribution facets and evaluation methods have been used in papers published at the ICPE and its predecessors? – RQ 3: Who are the top ten countries and organizations in terms of the quantity of articles published at the ICPE and its predecessors?

  • Most articles are focused on the system development phase.
  • Since 2010, an increasing number of papers address the system operation

phase which results in a well-balanced conference profile.

  • Constant shift of the conference focus towards the latest technologies such

as cloud computing.

  • The community would greatly benefit from more research which provides

taxonomies for the generated knowledge and summarizes existing findings.

  • Positive influence of hosting a conference on the number of publications of

this country.

  • A general overview of prevailing topics and methods within the community

does not exist.

  • The principle conference that is focused on the performance of software

systems and related questions is the International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE).

  • Performance engineering research at the ICPE and its predecessors is

analyzed in a systematic literature review.

Motivation

N-Gram Analysis

  • The N-Gram analysis is employed to reveal trends within the conference

from 1998 to 2014 (Soper/Turel 2012, Demeyer et al. 2013):

– An N-Gram is a sequence of n words extracted from a body of text. – For example, the phrase “software performance management” can be divided into:

  • three 1-Grams (“software", "performance", "management"),
  • two 2-Grams (“software performance", "performance management"), and
  • ne 3-Gram (“software performance management").

– In order to prevent distortion of results we removed in several post-processing steps any unnecessary data such as author information, keyword lists, the bibliography, the appendix, page numbers and citation references.
