PPoPP 2018 Call for Workshops and Tutorials

We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials within the general 
scope of PPoPP. We encourage members of the community to submit proposals 
for workshops/tutorials that bring together researchers and practitioners 
to share their latest results and to discuss work in progress and new 
directions.

Workshops and tutorials will be held prior to the main conference on 
Saturday–Sunday, February 24-25, 2018 and may be half a day or a full day 
in length. Please note that attendees of CGO 2018 and HPCA 2018 will also 
be able to register for these workshops and tutorials.
