DEADLINE EXTENSION:
We've extended the paper submission deadline for PSTI'13 to May 24 !


BACKGROUND

The advent of multicore and manycore systems requires that programmers
understand how to design, write and debug parallel programs effectively.
The increased complexity of multi-threaded parallel programming on
multicore platforms requires more insight into program behavior, and
necessitates the use of tools that can support programmers in migrating
existing software to multicore platforms, and in writing new multi-threaded
parallel software. Programmers need increasingly sophisticated methods
for instrumentation, measurement, analysis and modeling of applications.
We need both sophisticated tools to support parallel software development,
and an extensible tool infrastructure that promotes integration of existing
and new tools, and simplifies information exchange and access.


KEY DATES

Submission Deadline:            May 24, 2013
Notification of Acceptance:    June 14, 2013
Final Papers Due:              July 12, 2013


TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

  * Static and dynamic analysis tools
  * Instrumentation, measurement, analysis, and modeling of applications
  * Analysis and visualization tools for assisting programmers with parallel
    software design
  * Active testing tools
  * Applications profiling and performance analysis
  * Data visualization and analysis infrastructures for interaction of tools


TOOL DEMONSTRATION SESSION

In addition to a regular paper session we plan to hold a tool demonstration
session during the workshop in which tool developers can demonstrate
features and functionality of their software tools. A submission for the
tool demo session should include a short description of the tool
(max. 5 pages). Use the EasyChair site (see below), with submission
category "Demo Proposal".


PAPER SUBMISSION

Submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE standard
double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger and are limited to 10
pages in length. Submissions should represent original, substantive
research results. At least one author of every accepted paper is required to
attend the conference in order for the paper to be included in the final
proceedings. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in electronic
format and will be available at the conference.

For submissions (both regular research paper/demo proposal), use

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=psti13
