### Important dates

Paper/Abstract submission for all workshops:    Sun 7 Jul 2024


Following its long-standing tradition, SPLASH will host a variety of
workshops, allowing their participants to meet and discuss research
questions with peers,
to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and
start new collaborations. SPLASH workshops complement the main tracks
of the conference
and provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting.

## Call for Workshops

We encourage proposals for workshops on any topic relevant to SPLASH.
If there is a topic that you feel passionate about, and want to
connect with others who
have similar interests, submit a workshop proposal! We more than
welcome new, and unconventional ideas for workshop formats. The
following suggestions are
a starting point:

- Conference-style workshops allow participants to present their work
to other domain experts. The smaller and more focused setting of a
workshop allows for Q&A sessions and facilitates discussions.
Presentations of work-in-progress are welcome.
- Retreats act as a platform for experts to gather to tackle issues of
a predetermined research agenda. Retreats are highly interactive and
goal-oriented, allowing participants to address open challenges,
explore new and uncharted ideas.
- Agenda-setting workshops provide a forum for experts to determine a
research agenda for a sub-field.
- Other common activities at workshops include poster sessions,
hands-on practical work, and focus groups.

Workshops that include the presentation of research papers, and that
implement a SIGPLAN-approved selection process may archive proceedings
in the ACM Digital Library. To archive the proceedings in the ACM
Digital Library, the proceedings must be peer reviewed, the program
committee must adhere to the SIGPLAN Diversity Policy, and the program
committee must be approved by the SIGPLAN Executive Committee, as
described in the SIGPLAN Diversity Policy.

Workshop applications will be considered until **March 1, 2024**, or
until all slots are allocated.

### Publication

For workshops with proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library,
September 1 2024 is the camera-ready deadline. Therefore, you should
plan to notify authors several days before this date, so that they
have time for revisions.
