Benchmarking proposals are solicited for BenchCouncil open meeting, which will take place in Seattle, WA, on Dec 10-13. Benchmark proposals are solicited on any topic that is relevant to Bench 2018 audience, including (but not limited to):

• Artificial Intelligence
• NewSQL and distributed database systems
• Blockchain
• Datacenter, cloud and warehouse-scale computing
• High performance computing
• Mobile Robotics
• Egde and fog computing

Once a proposal is accepted, at least one of the authors should present their proposal. Meanwhile, a breakout session will be organized to discuss the benchmarking targets, major challenges, and plans. Finally, for each invited talk, a breakout report will be presented by the same speaker.

After the conference, the authors should form a position paper that will be published in the proceeding of Bench 2018. Finally, for each benchmarking plan, a working group will be established, and each published position paper will act as a starting point for a formal benchmark specification, that will be released by BenchCouncil in future.

Proposals should provide the following information:

• Title.
• Authors and contact info.
• 1 paragraph abstract suitable for benchmark publicity.
• biography per author suitable for publicity.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format via e-mail to Dr. Chen Zheng (zhengchen@ict.ac.cn) and Dr. Zhen Jia (zhenj@cs.princeton.edu) with the subject "BenchCouncil Proposal". Submissions will be acknowledged via e-mail.
