BenchCouncil Transactions on Benchmarks, Standards and Evaluations (TBench) publishes position articles that open new research areas; research articles that address new problems; methodologies; tools; survey articles that build up comprehensive knowledge; and comment articles that argue published articles. Submissions should deal with benchmarks, standards and evaluation research areas. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Generalized benchmark science and engineering, for example:
- Measurement standards
- standardized data sets with defined properties
- Representative workloads
- Representative data sets
- Best practices
- Benchmarks and standard specifications, implementations and validations of:
- Big data
- AI
- HPC
- Machine learning
- Big scientific data
- Data centers
- Cloud
- Warehouse-scale computing
- Mobile robotics
- Edge and fog computing
- IoT
- Blockchain
- Data management and storage
- Financial domains
- Education domains
- Medical domains
- Other application domains
- Data sets
- Detailed descriptions of research or industry datasets, including the methods used to collect the data and technical analyses supporting the quality of the measurements.
- Analyses or meta-analyses of existing data and original articles on systems, technologies and techniques that advance data sharing and reuse to support reproducible research.
- Articles evaluating the rigor and quality of the experiments used to generate the data and the completeness of the data description.
- Tools that generate large-scale data while preserving their original characteristics.
- Workload characterization, quantitative measurement, design and evaluation studies of:
- Computer and communication networks, protocols and algorithms

Society affiliation
International Open Benchmark Council (BenchCouncil) is a non-profit organization that aims to benchmark, standardize, evaluate and incubate emerging technologies. Since its founding, BenchCouncil bears four fundamental responsibilities: establish unified benchmark science and engineering across multi-disciplines; define the problems or challenges ...
