Call for Workshops/Tutorials

We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials within the general scope of PACT. Members of the community are encouraged to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials that bring together researchers and practitioners to share their tools, technologies, latest results and to discuss work in progress and new directions. Topics on distributed system innovations leveraging new device and packaging innovations, trends in heterogeneous computing based on domain specific accelerators, compilation/system-management for such systems, and addressing emerging applications domains, are encouraged.

Those interested in organizing a workshop or tutorial are invited to contact the Workshops and Tutorials co-chairs Nikolaos Alachiotis (n.alachiotis@utwente.nl) and Ana-Lucia Varbanescu (a.l.varbanescu@utwente.nl). Should you need additional information before you write and/or submit your proposal, feel free to contact the co-chairs for further advice/clarifications. We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis and encourage potential organizers to contact us as early as possible.
