Evolving from nine BPOE/SDBA workshops in conjunction with ASPLOS, VLDB, and ICS, Bench is an international multidisciplinary conference on benchmarks, standards, data sets, evaluation, and optimization. Bench 2024 is the 16th edition. The Bench conference encompasses a wide range of topics in benchmarks, datasets, metrics, indexes, measurement, evaluation, optimization, supporting methods and tools, and industry best practices in computer science, AI, medicine, finance, education, management, etc. Bench's multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers from different areas and communities to discuss practical and theoretical work.

Bench 2024 invites manuscripts describing original work in the above areas and topics. All accepted papers will be presented at the Bench 2024 conference and published by Springer LNCS (Pending, Indexed by EI). In addition, at least one of the authors of the TBench articles published during the last year is requested to present their work at the Bench conference.
