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

Scope
The 5th Workshop on the Theory of Transactional Memory is a forum to foster 
exchanges, discussions, and disseminations among researchers on theoretical 
challenges 
and recent achievements in the context of speculative concurrent computing with 
emphasis on transactional memory. Transactional memory (TM) is a promising 
programming 
paradigm for simplifying concurrent programming. This 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:
      transactional models
      safety and liveness in speculative computing
      TM algorithms and limitations
      speculative-friendly and transaction-friendly data structures and 
algorithms
      concurrent programming, synchronization and shared memory
      multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
      models for the analysis of multiprocessor and multi-core algorithms
      TM verification
      TM computing in clusters of workstations and message-passing systems


Important dates
EXTENDED Submission deadline:      30th of July 2013 
Acceptance notification:                        20th of August 2013
Workshop Date:                                     14th of October 2013


Submissions
We solicit submissions describing recent results and/or position papers 
relevant to the theory of speculative computing with emphasis on 
transactional memory to be presented and discussed at the workshop. Submissions 
should be in English and in PDF format. 
Submissions have to include: a title, authors names and affiliations, and an 
up to four-pages abstract.  
Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines on the 
workshop web page (see above).

Final papers will be available to participants electronically during the 
workshop. 
However, to facilitate resubmission to more formal venues, no archival 
proceedings will be published. 
Authors will have the option to upload the final version of their papers on the 
workshop website.
