ADAPT 2014 - 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Self-tuning Computing Systems

The 4th International Workshop on Adaptive Self-tuning Computing Systems
January 22nd, 2014, Vienna, Austria
(co-located with HiPEAC 2014)
Call for papers
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 Using outdated, non-adaptive technology results in an enormous waste of expensive computing resources and energy, while slowing down time to market.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 4th 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, practical techniques and tools to improve or change current and future computing systems using self-tuning technology. Such systems should be able to automatically adjust their behavior to multi-objective usage scenarios at all levels (hardware and software) based on empirical, dynamic, iterative, statistical, collective, bio-inspired, machine learning and alternative techniques while fully utilizing available resources.
All papers will be peer-reviewed including short position papers and should include ideas on how to simplify, automate and standardize the design, programming, optimization and adaptation of large-scale computing systems for multiple objectives to improve performance, power consumption, utilization, reliability and scalability.
Submission guidelines
We invite papers in three categories:
Full papers should be at most 6 pages long (excluding bibliography). Papers in this category are expected to have relatively mature content.
Extended abstract should be between 1-2 pages long (excluding bibliography). Preliminary and exploratory work are welcome in this category, including wild & crazy ideas.
Extended abstract of already published work (must be your own) presenting ideas relevant to the ADAPT workshop. These papers should be between 1-2 pages long (excluding bibliography). There will be no proceedings for this type of submissions.
Although not mandatory, we particularly welcome papers where experimental results can be validated by the community. If accepted, the final papers should include Appendix with detailed research methodology and references to all used data and tools (should be publicly available by the time of the workshop). Such submissions should include (reproducible) in the title. 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. The proceedings of the full papers and extended abstracts presenting new work will be published in the ACM digital library (ACM ICPS).
