7th Workshop on the
Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM)

July 20, 2015
Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

co-located with the
ACM Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC) 2015


======================================================


The 7th Workshop on the Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM) is a forum to
foster exchanges, discussions, and disseminations among researchers on
theoretical challenges and recent achievements in the context of concurrent
computing, with an emphasis on transactional memory.

Transactional Memory (TM) aims at making parallel programming more
programmer friendly by providing an alternative synchronization mechanism
to traditional lock-based concurrency. TM research has led to hardware TM
implementations on both commodity and high performance computing
microprocessors, as well as to TM integration in mainstream programming
languages (like C, C++) and in the world's leading open source compiler.

>From a theoretical perspective, the TM abstraction raises several
challenges in the way we view synchronization as well as in the way we
implement it. A major goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and
approaches for reasoning about Transactional Memory.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Models and semantics for concurrent computing
* Safety and liveness properties
* Tradeoffs in TM and concurrent computing
* TM algorithms and architectures
* Impossibility results and lower bounds
* TM performance and parallelism
* Speculation-friendly and transaction-friendly data structures and their
algorithms
* Formal methods, semantics and verification of TM and concurrent systems
* TM for cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing
* Concurrent computing, synchronization, and shared memory
* Concurrent data structures and their algorithms
* Multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms

COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2015: Evolving Computability
Bucharest, Romania
June 29 - July 3
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/


IMPORTANT DATES:
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: May 20, 2015
Details on the registration:
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/registration.html
Details on accommodation possibilities:
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/accommodation.html
(please note the individual deadlines for each variant)

CiE 2015 is the 11-th conference organized by CiE (Computability
in Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians,
computer scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested
in new developments in computability and their underlying
significance for the real world. Previous meetings have taken
place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens
(2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013) and Budapest (2014)

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel
evolution in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and
engaged - targets the extracting and developing of computational
models basic to current challenges. From the origins of life, to
the understanding of human mentality, to the characterising of
quantum randomness - computability theoretic questions arise in
many guises. The CiE community, meeting this year for the first
time in Bucharest, carries forward the search for coherence, depth
and new thinking across this rich and vital field of research.

In line with other conferences in this series, CiE 2015 has a broad
scope and provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical and
practical issues in Computability with an emphasis on new paradigms
of computation and the development of their mathematical theory.

We invite everyone who is interested in the topics and program of
CiE 2015 to register for the conference. Details on the program of
the conference are given below. The details regarding the registration
procedure are given at:
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/registration.html


PROGRAM:

The papers accepted for CiE 2015 can be seen here:
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/accepted.html

The CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS will be published by LNCS, Springer
Verlag, and there will be a best student paper award presented to
the best paper written solely by students, sponsored by Springer.

INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:

While computer science conferences usually host formal presentations
based on papers published in a proceedings volume, mathematics
conferences allow for informal presentations that are prepared very
shortly before the conference and inform the participants about
current research and work in progress. So, continuing the tradition
of past CiE conferences, CiE 2015 hosts a series of informal
presentations, in addition to the presentations based on the papers
in the LNCS proceedings volume. These will be soon published on the
CiE 2015 website.

May 12, 2015 Release

IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing
September 8-11, 2015
Chicago, IL, USA
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ieeecluster2015/

*** CALL FOR POSTERS ***

The IEEE Cluster 2015 provides a forum for both academia and industry
professionals to present their latest research findings in all aspects
of cluster, cloud, and grid technologies in the form of a posters,
which will be included in the conference proceedings. Posters will be
presented during the same session, during the conference.
Additionally, authors may submit posters for publication on the web.

Participants submitting proceedings-published posters are required to
submit a short paper (2 pages) describing the poster content, the
research supporting it, and the relevance and importance to the
cluster, cloud, and grid computing community. If accepted, this short
paper will be published in the proceedings of the conference.

Participants submitting web-published posters are required to submit a
short 1-page extended abstract. These abstracts will not be included
in the conference proceedings. Both proceedings-published and web-published
posters will be displayed during the conference. We encourage accepted
authors of demos to prepare a poster to accompany their demo. All
accepted posters (including posters prepared for demos) will be posted on the
conference website.


*** CALL FOR STUDENT PROGRAM ***

The Student Mentoring Program is not just another publication venue but
an opportunity to meet peers and network with senior colleagues.
Interested students can apply through a simple, non-competitive procedure,
by providing a 2-page description of their person vision for their career,
i.e., where they come from, what they are interested in, what their
career objectives are, and most importantly, what their research vision is.
For example, PhD students might wish to describe their PhD proposal and
explain why their contributions are relevant for the scientific community.
Students' applications should be endorsed by the student's advisers.

All 2-page submissions is reviewed for review by the Program
Committee, with a friendly
feedback returned to the students. The objective is to host as many
motivated students as
possible in the program. Note that there is no scientific endorsement
of the scientific
contents by the conference, so that this application cannot be
considered as a scientific
publication.

Selected students will participate in fun activities as well as in the
regular conference.

*** STUDENT TRAVEL AWARDS ***

Several travel awards are sponsored by the National Science Foundation
for students enrolled in American institutions who participates in the
Student Mentoring Program
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ieeecluster2015/student-program/). Students
with accepted posters or papers must also apply to and participate in
the Student Mentoring Program to be eligible for the travel award. The
deadlines for the Student Mentoring Program application are at
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/ieeecluster2015/author-information/important-dates/.
Notice of travel awards will be made prior to the conference. The
travel awards will be distributed post-conference in the form of
reimbursements against actual travel, registration, and accommodation
expenses submitted by the student. The travel award will be contingent
on the participating of the awarded student in the Student Mentoring
Program at Cluster 2015.
