Call For Papers | |||||||||||
The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in programming languages, systems, and hardware to support transactions, speculation, and related alternatives to classical lock-based concurrency. Recently, transactional memory has crossed two new thresholds. First, IBM and Intel are now shipping processors with hardware support for transactional memory. Second, the C++ Standard Committee has begun investigation into transactional memory as a new language feature. These developments highlight the demand for continued high quality TM research.
This workshop, the ninth in its series, will provide a forum for the presentation of research on all aspects of transactional computing. The scope of the workshop is intentionally broad, with the goal of encouraging interaction across the languages, architecture, systems, database, and theory communities. Papers may address implementation techniques, foundational results, applications and workloads, or experience with working systems. Environments of interest include the full range from multithreaded or multicore processors to high-end parallel computing. Topics The workshop seeks papers on topics related to all areas of software and hardware for transactional computing. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Run-time systems Hardware support Memory models Language mechanisms and semantics Formal verification Speculative concurrency Conflict detection and contention management Debugging and tools Static analysis and compiler optimizations Checkpointing and failure atomicity Persistence and I/O Nesting and exceptions Applications, workloads, and test suites Experience reports Papers should present original research. As transactional memory spans many disciplines, papers should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Papers focused on foundations should indicate how the work can be used to advance practice; papers on experiences and applications should indicate how the experiments reinforce or reflect principles. Submissions Papers must be submitted in PDF, and be no more than 8 pages in standard two-column SIGPLAN conference format including figures and tables but not including references. Shorter submissions are welcome. The submissions will be judged based on the merit of the ideas rather than the length. Submissions must be made through the on-line submission site. Final papers will be available to participants electronically at the meeting, but to facilitate resubmission to more formal venues, no archival proceedings will be published, and papers will not be sent to the ACM Digital Library. Authors will have the option of having their final paper accessible from the workshop website. Authors must be familiar with and abide by SIGPLAN's republication policy, which forbids simultaneous submission to multiple venues and requires disclosing prior publication of closely related work. At the discretion of the program committee and with the consent of the authors, particularly worthy papers may be recommended for a special journal issue. Registration and Workshop Information Please see the ASPLOS homepage for information about registration, hotels, local attractions, etc. Important Dates Submission Deadline: Sunday, December 1, 2013 (11:59pm PST) Author Notification: Monday, January 27, 2014 Final Copy Due: Monday, February 10, 2014 Workshop: Saturday or Sunday, March 1 or March 2, 2014 General Chair Tatiana Shpeisman, Intel Labs Program Chair Justin Gottschlich, Intel Labs Web Chair Michael Spear, Lehigh University Program Committee Aleksandar Dragojevic, Microsoft Research Panagiota Fatourou, University of Crete Justin Gottschlich, Intel Labs Maurice Herlihy, Brown University Angelina Lee, MIT Victor Luchangco, Oracle Labs Torvald Riegel, Red Hat Tatiana Shpeisman, Intel Labs Arrvindh Shriraman, Simon Fraser University Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland Mike Spear, Lehigh University Peng Wu, IBM Research Steering Committee Babak Falsafi, CMU & EPFL Pascal Felber, Univ. of Neuchatel Dan Grossman, Univ. of Washington Rachid Guerraoui, EPFL Tim Harris, Oracle Labs Maurice Herlihy, Brown Univ.
