Call for Workshop Proposals

Workshops should provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics or research areas relevant to the community of Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing. This year's edition has a special interest in emerging topics such as the use of HPC for AI and AI in HPC; the use of HPC in domain-specific problems (e.g., healthcare, genomics, life sciences, etc.); scalable data management and storage; energy-efficient HPC systems; reliability and correctness of HPC applications; adaptive and autonomous HPC systems; flexible and malleable HPC solutions; and heterogeneous/collaborative computing.

Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination of the above. Workshops could be scheduled for half a day or a full day.

The peer-reviewed accepted papers of organized workshops will be published in the SBAC-PAD proceedings and will be available online in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Each paper must have at least three reviews to be eligible for publication.

Deadline for Workshop Proposals  May 3rd, 2024 May 17th, 2024

Notification of acceptance May 17th, 2024 May 31st, 2024

Workshop proposals must be submitted in PDF format and should include:

• Name, acronym, and length (half or full-day);

• A short description of the workshop (0.5 - 1 page);

• A list of topics of interest and their relation to the SBAC-PAD community, in particular, how the workshop fills a niche that is not already covered by the main conference;

• The names, affiliations, and a short bio (5 - 10 lines) of the workshop organizers and, ideally, a list with a significant portion of the program committee;

• A description of the expected structure of the workshop (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters, or any other kind of scientific/technical activity); 

• If the workshop is expected to have papers, include the expected paper length, submission count, and describe the review process;

• Invited speaker ideas (panelists, keynote, or invited talks). No one is expected to be confirmed before the acceptance; and

• Data about previous offerings of the workshop (if any), including attendance, the number of papers or presentations submitted and accepted, and the links to the corresponding websites.

The workshop co-chairs may ask for more info during the evaluation process.

You may submit your proposal by emailing the Workshop Chairs. Please include the text "[SBAC-PAD'24] Workshop Proposal" in the subject line.
