==========================================================================
                            CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS/TUTORIALS

4th International Workshop on Reproducibility in Parallel Computing
                           (REPPAR) [http://reppar.org]

in conjunction with IPDPS 2017 (June 2, 2017), Orlando, FL
==========================================================================


1 Scope
═══════

   The workshop is focused on the design, implementation, execution, and
   analysis of experiments in parallel and distributed computing
   (including HPC, Clouds, Networking, Big Data) to improve the
   reproducibility of results.


2 Keywords
══════════

   Reproducibility, Parallel Computing/HPC, Open Science, Data
   Provenance, Scientific Workflows


3 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 other articles)
   • Supporting reproducibility in experimental testbeds for parallel
     computing
   • Tools for reproducible research (e.g., control of experiments,
     versioning, archiving)
   • Analysis of experimental data (e.g., visualization, statistical
     analysis, provenance)
   • Automated uncertainty quantification for experimental workflows (or
     data-focused workflows)
   • Systems to incorporate (potentially very large) data into automated
     testing frameworks
   • Sustainable models for public data sharing
   • Ideas on artifact evaluation in Distributed Computing and HPC
   • Improving the review process in Parallel Computing
   • Open Science and Parallel Computing
   • Performance non-regression testing


4 Paper Types
═════════════

   • full workshop paper (8-10 pages)
   • short paper (4-7 pages)


5 Demos and Tutorials
═════════════════════

   We welcome demos and tutorials addressing (potential) solutions to the
   reproducibility/replicability problem.  Please contact us directly if
   you want to give a tutorial (demo).
