(We would like to apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message) ACM PPoPP 2016: 21st ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming 12-16 March 2016, Barcelona, Spain http://www.ppopp.org To be held in conjunction with HPCA 2016, CGO 2016, and LLVM 2016 - Call for Papers 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, multithreaded, 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. All submissions must be made electronically through the conference web site. Abstracts must include contact information, the full list of authors and their affiliations, and a description of the anticipated content of the paper (100-400 words). Full paper submissions must be in PDF formatted for US letter size paper. They must not exceed 10 pages (all inclusive) in standard SIGPLAN two-column conference format (preprint mode, with page numbers). Templates for the SIGPLAN format are available for Microsoft Word, and LaTeX at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ (use the 9 pt template, and do not adjust any margins, line spacing, etc.). Over-length submissions will not be accepted. Submissions will be judged on correctness, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. Paper submission is double-blind to reduce reviewer bias against or for authors or institutions. Thus, the submissions cannot include author names, institutions or hints based on references to prior work. If authors are extending their own work, they need to reference and discuss the past work in third person, as if they were extending someone else's research. We realize that for some papers it will still reveal authorship, but as long as an effort was made to follow these guidelines, the submission will not be penalized. Authors must identify any conflicts of interest with PC members and external review committee members, as defined here: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review/ (ACM SIGPLAN policy). 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 abstract submission. Two-page summaries of posters will be included in the conference proceedings. 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.) PPoPP 2016 will be in Barcelona, 12-18 March 2016. It will be co-located with HPCA 2016, CGO 2016, and LLVM 2016. Authors should carefully consider the difference in focus of the conferences when deciding where to submit a paper. Important dates: Abstract submission: September 4, 2015 Full paper submission: September 11, 2015 Author response period: October 27-29, 2015 Notification of acceptance: November 9, 2015 Camera-ready version of accepted papers: January 8, 2016 General Chair Rafael Asenjo University of Malaga Program Chair Tim Harris Oracle Labs Program Committee Kunal Agrawal Washington University in St. Louis Alexandro Baldassin Sao Paulo State University Grey Ballard Sandia National Laboratories Michael Bauer NVIDIA Research Sarah Bird Microsoft Research Michael Bond Ohio State University Uday Bondhugula Indian Institute of Science Greg Bronevetsky Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Dhruva Chakrabarti HP Labs Barbara Chapman University of Houston Haibo Chen Shanghai Jiao Tong University Christophe Dubach University of Edinburgh Faith Ellen University of Toronto Vincent Gramoli NICTA and University of Sydney Mary Hall University of Utah Tim Harris (chair) Oracle Labs William Jalby Universite de Versailles Brandon Lucia Carnegie Mellon University Josh Milthorpe IBM Research Adam Morrison Technion Rotem Oshman Tel Aviv University Cynthia Phillips Sandia National Laboratories Shaz Qadeer Microsoft Research John Reppy University of Chicago Chris Rossbach VMware Research Group Vijay Saraswat IBM T J Watson Martin Schulz Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Michael Scott University of Rochester Jean-Baptiste Tristan Oracle Labs -- Dr. Diego R.
