PPoPP Call for Papers
ACM SIGPLAN 2007 Symposium on
Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP 2007)
March 14–17, 2007, San Jose, California
http://www.ppopp.org
The goal of the Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming is to provide a forum for papers about the foundations of parallel programming, tools and techniques for parallel programming, and experiences applying parallel programming in practice. In the context of PPoPP, “parallel programming” should be construed broadly to include the development of software for concurrent, multi-threaded, multi-core, multiprocessor, cluster, or distributed systems.
PPoPP is an appropriate forum for all research relevant to the development of parallel software. It seeks papers and posters on topics that include:
- Parallel programming
- Foundations of parallel programming
- Analysis and verification of parallel programs
- Performance analysis and optimization of parallel software systems
- Middleware for parallel systems
- Automatic parallelization
- Parallel programming languages
- Compilers and runtime systems for parallel programming languages
- Parallel libraries or application frameworks
- Tools for development or analysis of parallel software
- Parallel applications or algorithms
- Concurrent data structures
- Synchronization and concurrency control
- Software engineering for parallel programs
- Fault tolerance for parallel software
- Software issues for multi-core or multi-threaded processors
Papers should report on original research relevant to parallel programming, and should contain enough background material to make them accessible to the entire parallel programming research community. Papers describing experiences should indicate how they illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming foundations should indicate how they relate to practice. Poster submissions should respect similar criteria for originality and relevance, but may present emerging ideas or results that are not yet sufficiently developed for a full paper.
PPoPP'07 will be co-located with CGO in San Jose, California.

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:
The abstract submission includes a description (100–400 words) of the paper and its key topics. The deadline for abstract submissions is September 8, 2006. The deadline for paper submissions is one week later, September 15, 2006. NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED!
Your paper should be in PDF format for letter-size paper. Submissions must be viewable by Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 5.0 or higher). Your submission may not exceed 10 pages in standard ACM two-column format. The program chair will summarily return submissions exceeding this page limit.
Poster submissions should be in the PDF format specified above for papers, but may not exceed 2 pages. Paper submissions that are not accepted for regular presentations will automatically be considered for posters; authors who do not want their paper considered for the poster session should indicate this in their abstract submission. Two-page summaries of posters will be included in the proceedings.
Submissions will be judged on relevance, originality, significance, clarity, and correctness.
The conference proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted papers and posters will be required to sign the ACM copyright form. Instructions for preparing papers for the proceedings will be emailed to authors of accepted papers.
