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.

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.
