HPDC 2024: Call for Workshops and Tutorials
Date: 3-7 June 2024
Location: Pisa, Italy
*******************************************

* Overview

HPDC warmly invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. Workshops 
offer a platform for valuable discussions among researchers and 
practitioners, focusing on key topics and emerging research areas in the 
field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and distributed computing. 
Workshops typically feature a blend of invited talks, peer-reviewed 
papers, panel discussions, and work-in-progress presentations. Workshop 
organizers are encouraged to structure their sessions for an audience of 
approximately 20-40 participants, with flexibility for either a full day 
or half day format depending on interest and space availability.

We welcome proposals for workshops on new, innovative topics as well as 
submissions to continue successful workshops from previous years. Note 
that proceedings of HPDC workshops will be published in by the ACM in 
dedicated proceedings. The selected workshops and tutorials will be held 
on the first two days of the conference (June 3rd and 4th).
