The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is a non-profit organization established in August 1988. Over two decades, it has shaped the landscape of modern transaction processingand database benchmarks. Over the last couple of years many new areas of very large database applications has emerged stressing the ability of today's hardware and software infrastructurese.g. Disaggregated Data Center, Hyperscale Data Center, Internet of Things, Artifical Intelligence,Big Data, Social Media etc. Yet the industry is lacking standard ways to evaluate different infrastructures. As a result, the TPC is conducting its 15th conference in conjunction with VLDB23 to encourage researchers and industry experts to submit novel ideas and methodologies in performance evaluation, measurement, and characterization in the following areas:        

1. Artificial Intelligence
2. Disaggregated Data Center
3. Hyperscale Data Center
4. Sustainability
5. Big Data Analytics
6. Virtualization
7. Cloud Computing
8. In-memory databases
9. Social media infrastructure
10. Complex event processing
11. Internet of Things
12. Hybrid workloads
13. Database Optimizations
14. Blockchain
15. Robotic and Automation
16. Lessons learned in practice using TPC workloads
17. General Enhancements to TPC workloads

Accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science(LNCS) and listed on ACM DL and DBLP. Selected papers will be considered for future TPC benchmark developments.
