     in conjunction with Euro-Par 2014 (August 25-29), Porto, Portugal

============================================================================

Scope
-----
The workshop is focused on the design, implementation,
execution, and analysis of experiments in parallel computing
in order to improve the reproducibility of results.

Topics addressed in the workshop include:
* Experimental design of parallel computing experiments
* Experiences and best practices for conducting experiments (including
  papers that address the reproduction of scientific studies of others)
* Supporting reproducibility in experimental testbeds for parallel computing
* Tools for reproducible research (e.g., versioning, archiving,
  workflow engines)
* Analysis of experimental data (e.g., visualization, statistical analysis,
  provenance)

Paper Types
-----------
* full paper: a regular article with up to 12 pages
* short paper: 6 pages presenting first results
* position paper: a 3-4 pages addressing viewpoints on the reproducibility
  problem

Authors have the opportunity to publish an extended version (6 - 12 pages) of
their accepted (short or position) papers in the proceedings of the Euro-Par
workshops. Extended papers must contain a minimum of 6 pages and will be
reviewed again. All accepted papers need to be revised before submitting a
camera-ready version.

Important Dates
---------------
* Workshop papers due: June 9, 2014 (extended)
* Workshop author notification: July 4, 2014
* Workshop early registration: July 25, 2014
* Workshop camera-ready papers due: October 3, 2014
