PPoPP 2017 - Workshops

Following its long-standing tradition, PPoPP 2017 will host a variety of high-quality workshops, allowing their participants to meet and discuss research questions with peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and start new collaborations. PPoPP workshops complement the main tracks of the conference and provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting. Workshops cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future, optionally recorded in formal proceedings.

Call for Workshops and Tutorials

We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials that fall into the general scope of PPoPP. Workshops and tutorials will be held on Saturday–Sunday, February 4-5, 2017 and may be a half day or a full day in length. We encourage members of the community to consider submitting proposals for workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners working on research topics of significant current interest, as well as workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners working in particular areas.
