International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers
                           ***  ROSS 2022  ***

Held in conjunction with SC22: The International Conference for High
Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis,
Dallas, Texas, USA, November 13, 2022

The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases as we
cross milestones on the way towards Exascale and beyond. Increasing levels
of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and emerging heterogeneity of
computational resources coupled with energy and memory constraints force a
reevaluation of our approaches towards operating systems and runtime
environments.

The ROSS workshop, to be held as a half-day event in conjunction with the
SC22 conference, focuses on principles and techniques to design,
implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for
massively parallel supercomputers and cloud environments for
high-performance computing.

In addition to typical workshop publications, we encourage novel and
possibly immature ideas, provided that they are interesting and on-topic.
Well argued position papers are also welcome.
