[PPoPP 2017] Research Papers Due in Two Weeks‏‏

 PPoPP 2017: 22nd ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming Austin, Texas, USA, February 4 - 8, 2017 (collocated with HPCA-2017 and CGO-2017) http://ppopp.org Full paper submission: August 1, 2016 Author response period I: September 22 -- 26, 2016 Author response period II: October 24--28, 2016 Author Notification: November 12, 2015 Artifact Evaluation by AE committee Nov 13 -- December 13, 2016. Final paper due December 15, 2016 PPoPP is a forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming, including theoretical foundations, techniques, languages, compilers, runtime systems, tools, and practical experience. In the context of the symposium, "parallel programming" encompasses work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore, multi-threaded, heterogeneous, clustered, and distributed systems; grids; clouds; and large scale machines). Given the rise of parallel architectures in the consumer market (desktops, laptops, and mobile devices), PPoPP is particularly interested in work that addresses new parallel workloads, techniques, and tools that attempt to improve the productivity of parallel programming, and work towards improved synergy with such emerging architectures. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to): + Compilers and runtime systems for parallel and heterogeneous systems + Concurrent data structures + Development, analysis, or management tools + Fault tolerance for parallel systems + Formal analysis and verification + High-performance / scientific computing + Middleware for parallel systems + Parallel algorithms + Parallel applications and frameworks + Parallel programming languages + Parallel programming theory and models + Parallelism in non-scientific workloads: web, search, analytics, cloud + Performance analysis, debugging and optimization + Programming tools for parallel and heterogeneous systems + Software engineering for parallel programs + Software for heterogeneous architectures + Software productivity for parallel programming + Synchronization and concurrency control + Task-parallel libraries Papers should report on original research relevant to parallel programming, and should contain enough background materials to make them accessible to the entire parallel programming research community. Papers describing experience should indicate how they illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming foundations should indicate how they relate to practice. Poster submissions should meet similar criteria for originality and relevance, but may present emerging ideas or results that are not yet sufficiently developed for a full paper. Paper Submission All submissions are due August 1, 2017 and must be made electronically through the conference web site and include an abstract (100--400 words), author contact information, the full list of authors and their affiliations. Full paper submissions must be in PDF formatted for US letter size paper. No extensions will be granted. Papers should contain a maximum of 11 pages of single-spaced, minimum 10pt font, two-column text, NOT INCLUDING references. There is no page limit for references and they must include the name of all authors (not {et. al.}). Submission is double blind and authors will need to identify any potential conflicts of interest with PC and Extended Review Committee members, as defined here: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review/ (ACM SIGPLAN policy). Detailed instructions for electronic submission and other important ACM SIGPLAN Policies will be posted on the PPoPP conference web site http://ppopp.org. For additional information regarding paper submissions, please contact the Program Chair, Lawrence Rauchwerger . Poster submissions must conform to the same format restrictions, but may not exceed 2 pages in length. Paper submissions that are not accepted for regular presentations will automatically be considered for posters; authors who do not want their paper considered for the poster session should indicate this in their paper submission. Two-page summaries of posters will be included in the conference proceedings. Artifact evaluation has been included in PPoPP 2015 and PPoPP 2016, and will be continued in PPoPP 2017. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. The Artifact Evaluation process is run by a separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the papers. This submission is voluntary and will not influence the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged (but not obliged) to make these materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by including them as source materials in the ACM Digital Library. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Tutorials / Workshops Proposals are solicited for tutorials and workshops to be held immediately before the conference. Interested individuals are invited to contact the Workshops Chair and the Tutorials Chair Rajkishore Barik WORKSHOPS \& TUTORIALS DEADLINES: Proposals: August 31, 2016. Notification: 2 weeks after submission (latest: September 14, 2016). Dates: February 4--5, 2017.
