Call for Workshops/Tutorials

We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials within the general scope of PACT. Members of the community are encouraged to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials that bring together researchers and practitioners to share their tools, technologies, latest results and to discuss work in progress and new directions. Topics on distributed system innovations leveraging new device and packaging innovations, trends in heterogeneous computing based on domain specific accelerators, compilation/system-management for such systems, and addressing emerging applications domains, are encouraged.

Those interested in organizing a workshop or tutorial are invited to contact the Workshops and Tutorials Chair Sanjukta Bhowmick, University of North Texas, Sanjukta.Bhowmick@unt.edu. We will be doing rolling acceptances and encourage potential organizers to contact us as soon as possible.
