Overview
The organizers of the 29th International ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC'20) call for proposals for Workshops to be held the day preceding the main conference (June 23).
The HPDC Workshops provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics and/or emerging research areas relevant to HPDC. 
Workshops typically include some combination of invited talks, peer-reviewed papers, panel discussions, and work-in-progress talks. Proposers should design workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, lasting either one full day or one-half day, depending on interest and space constraints. Proposals for workshops on new topics are welcome, as are proposals to continue previously successful workshops. HPDC workshops proceedings will be published by ACM in the HPDC proceedings companion book.
We also welcome proposals for agency PI meetings, of technical tutorials, or of user-group meetings that would engage HPDC attendees.
