ASPLOS is the premier forum for interdisciplinary systems research,
intersecting computer architecture, hardware and emerging technologies,
programming languages and compilers, operating systems, and networking. The
25th ASPLOS will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, a beautiful town on the
shores of Lake Geneva, conveniently located in the center of Europe, and at
EPFL.

Like its predecessors, ASPLOS 2020 invites papers on ground-breaking
research at the intersection of the ASPLOS disciplines: architecture,
programming languages, operating systems, and related areas.
Non-traditional topics are especially encouraged. The importance of
cross-cutting research continues to increase as we grapple with the end of
Dennard scaling, the explosion of big data, the scale of computing from
ultra-low power wearables to exascale systems, the need for sustainability,
and the growth of human-centered applications.  ASPLOS embraces systems
research that addresses new problems in innovative ways.  Research may
target diverse goals such as performance, energy and thermal efficiency,
resiliency, security, privacy, sustainability, applicability to future
technologies, applications, and environments. The review process will be
sensitive to the challenges of multidisciplinary work and emerging areas.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Existing and emerging platforms at all scales, from embedded to cloud
* Traditional and extreme environments, from implantable to space
* Internet services, cloud computing, and datacenters
* Multicore architectures and systems
* Heterogeneous architectures and accelerators
* Systems for enabling parallelism at an extreme scale
* Programming models, languages, and compilation for all platforms
* Managing, storing, and computing big data
* Virtualization and virtualized systems
* Memory/storage technologies and architectures
* Power, energy, and thermal management
* Security, reliability, availability, and sustainability
* Verification and testing, and their impact on design and security
* Systems and hardware support for machine learning
* Non-traditional computing systems, including emerging devices



ASPLOS 2020 Call for Research Artifacts

Submissions to ASPLOS often comprise far more than the paper– they include
supporting materials  such as code, data, models, experimental workflows or
results that are crucial to evaluating the conclusions drawn in the paper.
To promote the reproducibility of experimental results and to encourage
authors to provide useful artifacts that help the community quickly
validate and compare alternative approaches,  ASPLOS 2020 includes an
artifact evaluation process. We invite authors of accepted ASPLOS 2020
papers to submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation
process based on the ACM Artifact Review and Badging policy, a standard for
systems conferences including CGO, PLDI, PPoPP and SuperComputing.

The Artifact Evaluation process is run by a separate committee whose task
is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the papers.
This submission is voluntary and will not influence the final decision
regarding the papers. Please note that the artifact submission deadline is
shortly after notification of the paper’s acceptance– authors should
prepare in advance to ensure time for artifact assembly and documentation.
Camera-ready papers that successfully go through the Artifact Evaluation
process will include an Artifact Appendix and will receive a set of ACM
badges printed on the camera-ready papers. Additional information is
available on the ASPLOS 2020 AE web page.

Important Dates:
Artifact submission: December 4, 2019
Artifact decision: January 15, 2020
Reproducibility discussion: TBA
