ADAPT 2015 - 5th International Workshop on Adaptive Self-tuning Computing Systems

Computing systems are rapidly evolving into heterogeneous machines featuring many processor cores. This leads to a tremendous complexity with an unprecedented number of available design and optimization choices for architectures, applications, compilers and run-time systems. Using outdated, non-adaptive technology results in an enormous waste of expensive computing resources and energy, while slowing down time to market.
The 5th International Workshop on Adaptive Self-tuning Computing Systems is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and application writers to discuss ideas, experience, methodology, applications, compilers, hardware, practical techniques and tools that can improve design and optimization of computing systems using self-tuning technology.
Such systems should be able to automatically adjust their behavior at all hardware and software levels to improve various characteristics including execution time, energy usage, reliability, size and associated costs based on empirical, dynamic, iterative, auto-tuning, run-time adaptation, statistical, big data, predictive analytics, machine learning, data mining, crowdsourcing, and alternative (bio-inspired, neural networks based, agent based) techniques while fully utilizing available resources.
Submission guidelines
We invite papers in three categories:
T1: Unpublished Papers presenting novel unpublished ideas (did not appear in any proceedings). Depending on the maturity of the work, these papers should be between 2 and 6 pages long (excluding bibliography). In addition to mature ideas, preliminary and exploratory work is also welcome in this category, including wild & crazy ideas.
T2: Already Published Work (must be your own) presenting ideas relevant to the ADAPT workshop. These papers should be up to 2 pages long (excluding bibliography) summarising the contribution of the original work (including link to it).
T3: Software/Hardware Demonstration (must be your own) presenting publicly available and adaptive software and hardware. Description should be up to 6 pages long summarizing the tool, demonstration, and relevance to the workshop.
Submissions should be in PDF formatted with double column/single-spacing, using 10pt fonts and printable on US letter or A4 sized paper. Accepted papers will be published online on the conference website and it will not prevent later publication of extended papers. Depending on the author wish, we may consider arranging ACM digital library proceedings or a special journal issue.
