1) CALL FOR PAPERS ASSMA
The 1st Workshop on Architecture and Systems Support for Mobile
Applications
(http://sites.google.com/site/assmaworkshop)
Newport Beach, California, March 5, 2011
In conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Architectural
Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS XVI)
The Workshop on Architecture and Systems Support for Mobile Applications
(ASSMA) is a multidisciplinary forum for new ideas and experimental
results in architecture and systems research targeting mobile
applications. As the market for mobile computing devices (e.g.,
smartphones, PDAs, media players) continues its tremendous growth, it is
becoming increasingly important to
optimize the execution of applications on these devices. This workshop
aims to identify emerging applications, understand their execution, and
optimize their
execution through innovations in hardware and software. The goal of the
workshop is to promote discussion between academia and industry on
challenges in this area that span the hardware-software computing stack,
including architecture, compilers, programming languages, systems,
applications, and the end user. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
. Characterization of mobile applications and usage behavior
. Application-specific, reconfigurable, and accelerator-based processing
for mobile applications
. Programming language techniques and extensions for mobile applications
. Energy-efficient mobile architecture and systems design
. Multicore design challenges with mobile applications
. Mobile web browser design, implementation, and optimization
. Support for integration, collection, and analysis of sensor data in
mobile applications
. Profiling, debugging, and software development tools for mobile devices
. Experiences with real mobile computing platforms
Papers should report on original research, and include adequate
background material to make them accessible to the architecture and
systems community.
Submissions will be judged based upon their correctness, relevance,
originality, significance, and clarity. Submission Guidelines
All submissions are to be made electronically through the submission web
site. Submissions should be between 6 and 8 pages in length, include the
full list of
authors and affiliations, be in standard double column ACM conference
format, and submitted in PDF format. Templates for ACM format are
available for
Microsoft Word and LaTeX at
http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm(use the 9 pt. template).

2) CALL FOR PAPERS GPGPU
Workshop on General Purpose Processing Using GPUs
( http://www.ece.neu.edu/GPGPU/)
Newport Beach, California, March 5, 2011
In conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Architectural
Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS XVI)
Overview: The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new
and emerging general-purpose purpose programming environments and
platforms, as well as evaluate applications that have been able to
harness the horsepower provided by these platforms. This year's work is
particularly interested on new heterogeneous GPU platforms. Papers are
being sought on many aspects of GPUs, including (but not limited to):
+ GPU applications + GPU compilation
+ GPU programming environments + GPU power/efficiency
+ GPU architectures + GPU benchmarking/measurements
+ Multi-GPU systems + Heterogeneous GPU platforms
Paper Submission: Authors should submit a 8 page paper in ACM
double-column style using the directions on the conference website at
www.ece.neu.edu/GPGPU/
Important Dates:
----------------
Paper submission: December 10, 2010 (no extensions will be given)
Author notification: January 15, 2011
Final paper: January 30, 2011

3) CALL FOR PAPERS WoDET
2nd Workshop on Determinism and Correctness in Parallel Programming
http://sites.google.com/site/2ndwodet/
Newport Beach, California, March 6, 2011
In conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Architectural
Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS XVI)
Unintentional non-determinism is the bane of multithreaded software
development. Defective software might execute correctly hundreds of
times before a subtle synchronization bug appears, and when it does,
developers often cannot readily reproduce it while debugging.
Nondeterminism also complicates testing as good coverage requires both a
wide range of program inputs and a large number of possible
interleavings for each input. These problems have taken on renewed
urgency as multicore systems have driven parallel programming to become
mainstream. Determinism is emerging as an important research area,
ranging from techniques for existing code (including deterministic
execution models, parallelizing compilers, and
deterministic replay for debugging) to new programming models (including
deterministic general purpose languages and run-time systems).
Deterministic multiprocessing yields deep open questions in programming
languages, compilers, operating systems, runtime systems and
architecture. While there is a growing consensus that determinism would
greatly help with the programmability challenges of multicore systems,
there is still little consensus on many important questions. What are
the performance and programmability trade-offs for enforcing
deterministic semantics with different approaches? Should deterministic
semantics be strictly enforced or guaranteed only for programs that are
"well-behaved" in certain ways? How can we support truly
non-deterministic algorithms, where non-determinism is intentionally
used for improved parallel performance? How can each layer of the system
stack contribute to these goals? What are other safety guarantees useful
in making parallel programming easier and less error prone (e.g.,
race-freedom, atomicity, etc..)?
The Second Workshop on Determinism and Correctness in Parallel
Programming is an across-the-stack forum to discuss the role of a wide
range of correctness properties in parallel and concurrent programming.
While determinism is an important theme, the scope of the workshop
includes other correctness properties for parallel programs and systems.
The workshop will be a full day event with a few invited talks, a
moderated debate, and technical sessions for short peer-reviewed papers
discussing ideas, positions, or preliminary research results.
In addition to answers to the questions above, topics of interest include:
* Language extensions for disciplined parallel programming models
(deterministic, data race-free, etc.)
* Architecture, operating system, runtime system and compiler support
for parallel program correctness
* Concurrency debugging techniques
* New properties of parallel programs
* Limit studies and empirical studies of the cost of safety properties
* Studies of the applicability of correctness properties in parallel
programs and algorithms
* Concurrency bug avoidance techniques
* Real-world experience with safe parallel programming models, systems,
or tools
We are seeking submissions of short position papers to be presented at
the workshop. Position papers may introduce new ideas relevant to the
workshop, propose interesting research directions, and/or describe
preliminary research results. Workshop submissions will be judged on
novelty, technical merit, and potential for creating thought-provoking
discussion at the workshop. There will NOT be a formal proceedings so
work presented at this workshop is eligible for republication in future
ACM conferences or journals (and other formal venues that have similar
republication policies).
Submissions must be in PDF format, in two columns, 10-point font, 1-inch
margins, and no longer than 6 pages in total. Please contact the
organizers if any of these present a hardship. Please check back for the
submissions link here: http://sites.google.com/site/2ndwodet/
