Overview
The organizers of the 24th International ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC'15) call for proposals for workshops to be held with HPDC'15, co-located with the FCRC'15 Federated Computing Research Conference. The workshops will be held in June 2015 in Portland Oregon.
Workshops should provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics or emerging research areas relevant to the HPDC community. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. Workshops could be scheduled for half a day or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should design workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact and effective discussion.
Proposal Submission
Workshop proposals must be submitted in two stages:
- Stage 1: Fill the online form here
- Stage 2: Send a proposal in PDF format via email to the HPDC'15 Workshops Chairs at hpdc15-workshops@datasys.cs.iit.edu
Stage 2 proposal should include:
