by Madhavan Mukund 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Message from Krishna Nandivada V <nvk(a)iitm.ac.in>, Publicity co-chair ASPLOS 2024. ====================================================================== Synopsis ASPLOS, the ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems, is the premier academic forum for multidisciplinary computer systems research spanning hardware, software, and their interaction. It focuses on computer architecture, programming languages, operating systems, and associated areas such as networking and storage. ASPLOS 2024 will take place in April 2024 in California. It has three submission deadlines – spring, summer and fall – which are meant to encourage authors to submit their papers when they are ready rather than before. Also, as an alternative to rejection, ASPLOS 2024 will allow the authors of some submissions to choose to apply a major revision to their submission in order to fix a well-defined list of problems. Important Dates and Submission Sites review cycle spring summer fall abstract submission 2023-04-13 2023-08-03 2023-11-23 full submission 2023-04-20 2023-08-10 2023-11-30 author response period start 2023-07-11 2023-10-24 2024-02-13 author response period end 2023-07-13 2023-10-26 2024-02-15 notification 2023-08-02 2023-11-15 2024-03-06 camera-ready 2023-09-19 2024-01-09 2024-03-27 submission site link All deadlines are at 3pm Eastern Time. Scope and Expectations The scope of ASPLOS 2024 covers all practical aspects related to the three main ASPLOS disciplines: computer architecture, programming languages, and operating systems, as well as closely-related associated areas. We seek original, high-quality research submissions that improve and further the knowledge of computer systems, with emphasis on the intersection between the main ASPLOS disciplines. Research submission may be applicable to computer systems of any scale, ranging from small, ultra-low power wearable devices to exascale parallel and cloud computers. We embrace research that directly targets new problems in innovative ways. The research may target diverse goals, such as performance, energy, and security. Non-traditional topics are encouraged, and the review process will be sensitive to the challenges of multidisciplinary work in emerging areas. We welcome experience submissions that have a novel aspect and that clearly articulate the lessons learned. We likewise welcome submissions that convincingly refute prior published results and common wisdom. We value submissions more highly if they are accompanied by clearly defined artifacts not previously available, including traces, original data, source code, or tools developed as part of the submitted work. We particularly encourage new ideas and approaches. Alphabetically sorted areas of interest related to practical aspects of computer architecture, programming languages, and operating systems include but are not limited to: □ Existing, emerging, and nontraditional compute platforms at all scales □ Heterogeneous architectures and accelerators □ Internet services, cloud computing, and datacenters □ Memory, storage, networking, and I/O □ Power, energy, and thermal management □ Profiling, debugging, and testing □ Security, reliability, and availability □ Systems for enabling parallelism and computation on big data □ Virtualization and virtualized systems A good submission will typically: motivate a significant problem; propose a practical solution or approach that makes sense; demonstrate not just the pros but also the cons of the proposal using sound experimental methods; explicitly disclose what has and has not been implemented; articulate the new contributions beyond previous work; and refrain from overclaiming, focusing the abstract and introduction sections primarily on the difference between the new proposal and what is already available. Submissions will be judged on relevance, novelty, technical merit, and clarity. Submissions are expected to avoid committing “benchmarking crimes,” and they must follow all the policies specified below. Resubmissions Authors of resubmitted work should describe in a separate note – uploaded to the submission site – the changes since the previous submission(s). This description helps reviewers who may have reviewed a previous draft of the work to appreciate any improvements to the currently submitted work. Please try to limit this document to one page. Submissions rejected from ASPLOS must not be submitted to the next two subsequent review cycles. The following table details when ASPLOS ’23 and ASPLOS ’24 rejections can be resubmitted to ASPLOS ’24 and ASPLOS ’25. if rejected from must not resubmit to may resubmit to 2023 spring – 2024 spring or later 2023 summer 2024 spring 2024 summer or later 2023 fall 2024 spring & summer 2024 fall or later 2024 spring 2024 summer & fall 2025 spring or later 2024 summer 2024 fall & 2025 spring 2025 summer or later 2024 fall 2025 spring & summer 2025 fall or later The above rules are strict and hold even if your submission has undergone extensive revisions. (We apologize to authors of any ASPLOS ‘23 rejections who might not have expected to be affected by this policy.) Major Revision Option When the outcome of a review cycle is publicized, some submissions will be associated with a “revise and resubmit” decision. The authors of such submissions will be given the opportunity to apply a major revision to their work and resubmit it after around 6 weeks. These submissions will be provided with clear and actionable reviewer feedback for their revision, and they will be typically reviewed by the same reviewers as the original submission. If the revision requirements are satisfactorily met, the revised submission will be accepted. Artifact Evaluation Artifact evaluation will continue in 2024 as has become a tradition at ASPLOS. More details will become available later. ======================================================================

ETAPS 2023 EXTENDED STAY SUPPORT SCHEME The ETAPS 2023 conference (European joint conferences on theory & practice of software), organized in Paris from 22nd to 27th April 2023, offers an Extended Stay Support Scheme (ESSS) aiming at enhancing scientific collaborations and diminishing the carbon footprint of scientific research activities, following similar initiatives at HIGHLIGHTS and ICALP. ETAPS 2023 attendees are encouraged to combine their visit to Paris with collaborations with local researchers. In a nutshell: interested individual participants to ETAPS can get a financial support from interested labs to stay longer "near" Paris, supported by labs throughout France or neighboring countries (Belgium and Switzerland). This support scheme is primarily intended for participants traveling long distances and must be combined with an attendance to ETAPS 2023. Upon acceptation, research institutes involved in this mechanism will cover standard expenses (accommodation and traveling fees, plane excluded) and will provide material support for research activities. How to apply to the ETAPS 2023 Extended Stay Support Scheme? Application to the ETAPS 2023 Extended Stay Support Scheme is made by two persons, a visitor and a local collaborator and should be sent to the contact person in the hosting research institute. The application should include: - The name of the visitor (the ETAPS attendant) mentioning their affiliation, city and country of origin - The name of the local collaborator - The dates of the visits - Few lines describing the subject of the collaboration The ETAPS organizers are NOT involved in this selection process. Web page: https://etaps.org/2023/esss/ Specific constraints: - For applying, the visitor should attend ETAPS 2023 - Dates of the visit do not have to be adjacent to the conference dates as long as the applicant avoids traveling by plane in between - If too many applications are received, further criteria of selection may have to be applied by the inviting labs, such as favoring long distance participants or applying "first come first served" policy.
