#### CARLA 2023 General Submission Guidelines for Workshops

The organizers of the CARLA 2023 conference are pleased to invite
members of the HPC community to submit workshop proposals. The general
purpose of a CARLA workshop is to provide an opportunity to present

emerging topics of High Performance Computing (HPC) and related areas.

The focus of the proposed workshops must be aligned with the list of
topics established in the call for papers of the main conference.
Workshops will be held in conjunction with the main conference.We
encourage workshop organizers to make their workshops highly
