[hpc-announce] PPoPP 2023: Call for Workshops and Tutorials

[shigangli.cs at gmail.com]

PPoPP 2023 will host a variety of high-quality workshops and tutorials, allowing their participants to learn about popular and new tools and technologies, to meet and discuss research questions with their peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and start new collaborations. PPoPP workshops and tutorials complement the main tracks of the conference. Workshops provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting, and cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future, optionally recorded in formal proceedings.

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 tools, technologies, 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 25-26, 2023 and may be half a day or a full day in length. Please note that attendees of CC-2023, CGO 2023 and HPCA 2023 will also be able to register for these workshops and tutorials.
