the community to consider submitting proposals for workshops and tutorials
that bring together researchers and practitioners working on research topics
of significant current interest to the HPCA community. Prospective workshop
and tutorial organizers are invited to submit proposals in PDF of no more
than two pages to the workshop and tutorials chair Carole-Jean Wu, via email
carole-jean.wu@asu.edu.

– Title of the workshop
– Organizers and their affiliations
– Sample call for papers, including the workshop’s main topics and URL
– Expected duration of the workshop: 1/2 day or full day
– For previously held workshops, the number of papers and attendees at the
last workshop

For tutorials, please include in your proposal:

– Title of the tutorial
– Organizers, presenters, and their affiliations
– Abstract of the tutorial, including objectives, target audience, and
prerequisite knowledge
– List of topics to be covered and URL to the tutorial web page
