* PLDI 2008 Call for Papers: ACM SIGPLAN 2008 Conference on Programming Language Design
and Implementation (PLDI)
ACM SIGPLAN 2008 Conference on Programming Language Design and
Implementation (PLDI)
Tucson, Arizona, June 7 - 13, 2008
http://pldi2008.cs.ucr.edu/
Scope of the Conference: PLDI is a forum where researchers, developers,
educators, and practitioners can exchange information on the latest
practical and experimental work in the design and implementation of
programming languages. The PLDI conference seeks original research papers
that focus on practical issues in the design, development, implementation
and use of programming languages. Emphasis is placed on novel language
designs, innovative and creative approaches to compile-time and run-time
technology, and results from experimental studies of actual implementations.
Topics of Interest: Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the
following topics as they relate to the design, development, implementation
and use of programming languages:
* Bug detection and debugging
* Code generation
* Compiler/architecture interaction
* Compiler analysis and optimizations
* Domain-specific languages and tools
* Dynamic and adaptive compilation
* ILP/DLP/TLP and other types of parallelism
* Memory hierarchy optimization
* Memory management
* Novel programming models
* Parallelizing compilers
* Programming language concepts and language design
* Program representations and compiler construction
* Performance analysis, evaluation and tools
* Pointer analysis
* Reliability
* Security
* Type systems and program logics
* Verification
Important Dates:
* Abstract deadline: Monday, November 12, 2007, 9:00 pm EST.
* Paper deadline: Thursday, November 15, 2007, 9:00 pm EST.
* In keeping with the convention established in the last few years,
the deadline is firm and no extensions will be given.
* Rebuttal Period: Wednesday to Friday, January 16-18, 2008
* Notification: Wednesday, February 8, 2008

* MSPC 2008 Call for Papers: The 2008 ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Memory Systems (MSPC 2008)
Performance & Correctness
NOTE: To accommodate conflicts with the PLDI submission deadline we have
have extended the MSPC 2008 submission deadline until 16 November. Please
consider submitting a position paper or position abstract to MPSC 2008.
2 March 2008 - Seattle, Washington USA
Co-located with ASPLOS 2008
http://www.cs.umass.edu/MSPC08
Call for Papers
OVERVIEW As CPUs rely increasingly on parallelism rather than
frequency to improve performance, the memory system emerges as the
fundamental barrier to continued improvement in system-level
performance. Previous tactics like increasing cache size and
associativity become less and less relevant in a world where NUMA
memory behaviors and inter-processor contention dominate application
performance. MSPC is a forum for exploring these emerging
challenges. This multi-disciplinary workshop fosters collaboration
among researchers in compilers, programming languages, architecture,
operating systems and adjacent specialties. We welcome position papers
on all aspects of memory system performance and correctness. Areas of
interest include but are not limited to the following topics:
* Analysis of memory systems performance, including power, bandwidth,
and latency
* Static and dynamic techniques for understanding and improving memory
performance
* Hardware and software techniques for ensuring memory safety and
detecting memory-related bugs
* Hardware memory models and their impact on software
* Transactional memory and other new programming models for expressing
parallelism
* Managed memory and garbage collection technologies
* Memory hierarchy design for chip multiprocessors (CMPs)
* Understanding and improving OS subsystems such as page placement and
scheduling
* Exploitation of new storage technologies such as non-volatile memory
WORKSHOP FORMAT MSPC 2008 is adopting a new format to encourage
exploration of the most disruptive problems and the most radical
solutions in the space. Towards this end we encourage submissions in
two formats:
* Position papers may present preliminary experimental results, new
analysis of previous experiments, emerging technical challenges, or
experiences and opportunities in the context of real-world systems.
* Position abstracts should clearly state a position and the related
experience or course of action as relevant to MSPC .
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Position papers should not exceed six
pages. Typical abstracts will be one or two pages in length. Minimum
font size is 10 point for all submissions. Papers should be submitted
electronically through the workshop web site
(http://www.cs.umass.edu/MSPC08). Accepted papers and abstracts will
be made available as hard copy at the workshop. Position papers will
be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Key Information
* New Submissions Deadline: 16 November 2007, at 11:59:59 PM Eastern time
* Notification: 21 December 2007
* Final papers due: 28 January 2008
