CALL FOR PAPERS - ASPLOS 2015

20th International Conference on 
Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems

Istanbul, Turkey, March 14-18, 2015


http://asplos15.bilkent.edu.tr


ASPLOS is the premier forum for multidisciplinary systems research spanning 
computer architecture and hardware, programming languages and compilers, 
operating systems and networking, as well as applications and user interfaces. 
The 2015 conference will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, a city where two 
continents meet on the blue waters of the Bosphorus to offer an abundance of 
unique natural, historical, cultural, and culinary experiences. 

Like its predecessors, ASPLOS 2015 invites papers on ground-breaking research 
at the intersection of at least two ASPLOS disciplines: 
architecture, programming languages, operating systems, and related areas. 
Non-traditional topics are especially encouraged. 
The importance of cross-cutting 
research continues to grow as we grapple with the end of Dennard scaling,  
the explosion of big data, scales ranging from ultra-low power wearable devices 
to exascale parallel and cloud computers, the need for sustainability, and 
increasingly human-centered applications. 
ASPLOS embraces systems research that directly targets these new problems 
in innovative ways. 
The research may target diverse goals such as performance, energy and thermal 
efficiency, resiliency, security, and sustainability. 
The review process will be sensitive to the challenges of 
multidisciplinary work in emerging areas. 

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

Emerging platforms at all scales, from embedded to cloud
Heterogeneous multicore architectures and accelerators
Systems for enabling parallelism at an extreme scale
Non-traditional computing systems
Systems that address social, educational, and environmental challenges
Programming models and compilation for existing and emerging platforms 
Managing, storing, and computing on big data
Virtualization
Memory and storage technologies and architectures
Power, energy, and thermal management
Security, reliability, and availability
Verification and testing, and their impact on design

Papers should be submitted for double-blind review 
following the submission guidelines available at the conference website -
