Co-located with EuroSys 2013 (http://eurosys2013.tudos.org)


IMPORTANT DATES

- Submission deadline:   February 20, 2013
- Notification of acceptance:   March 1, 2013


AIMS AND SCOPE

The Euro-TM Workshop on Transactional Memory (WTM) is a forum for 
researchers and practitioners addressing the new challenges of 
concurrency in the cloud and many-core era.  Transactional Memory (TM) 
is a promising technology that aims at making parallel programming more 
productive and programmer friendly by providing an alternative to 
traditional lock-based concurrency.  Intensive research on TM has 
recently led to hardware TM implementations on major commodity 
high-performance microprocessors and to TM support for the world's 
leading open source compiler.

The Euro-TM Workshop on Transactional Memory welcomes work-in-progress 
snapshots for this period of maturing TM research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Language and compiler support for TM and other synchronization primitives
- TM semantics
- Consistency and memory models for TM
- TM correctness and performance, testing, analysis and debugging
- Distributed TM, replication and reliability
- Scalability in large-scale many-cores and cloud systems
- Hardware support for TM
- OS/runtime support for contention management and transaction scheduling
- TM applications and benchmarks


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The workshop will consist of short presentations.  To facilitate later 
submission to other venues, WTM will not have published proceedings.

Please submit a 400 word plain text abstract describing your 
research-in-progress at EasyChair 
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wtm2013). The submissions 
will be evaluated by the Program Committee.
