Euro-TM Workshop on Transactional Memory (WTM 2013)

Prague, Czech Republic, April 14, 2013
Co-located with EuroSys 2013

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:


The submissions will be evaluated by members of the Euro-TM Management Committee.


Registration, Grants and other administrative Information


This meeting is organized by the Euro-TM COST Action, supported by the European Commission.

Some important notices:

- Euro-TM can provide financial support for travel and accommodation costs (2 nights, at a flat rate of 120 EUR per night, as by COST regulations). Detailed information on eligible participants and expenses, as well as on reimbursement process can be found here and here.

- Euro-TM members who attend *exclusively* the Euro-TM WTM will not need to register to the Eurosys workshops or conference.

- Euro-TM members who attend also EuroSys will still be entitled to reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs. However, Euro-TM will not cover registration costs for the Eurosys conference, i.e. if you intend to attend EuroSys you will have to register regularly to the conference.

- Registration for WTM is mandatory but free. To register for the workshop send an email until March 12th with your name and institution to the following addresses:
     mcouceiro <at> gsd <dot> inesc-id <dot> pt
     eurotm <at> gsd <dot> inesc-id <dot> pt

 In the email, please specify if you intend apply for financial support from Euro-TM. In this case, include also a forecast of your travel and accommodation expenses.
