Call for Papers/Tutorials/Talks

The workshop is focused on the design, implementation, execution, and analysis of experiments in parallel and distributed computing (including HPC, Clouds, Networking, Big Data) to improve the reproducibility of results.

• Experimental design of parallel computing experiments
• Experiences and best practices for conducting experiments (including papers that address the reproduction of other articles)
• Supporting reproducibility in experimental testbeds for parallel computing
• Tools for reproducible research (e.g., control of experiments, versioning, archiving)
• Analysis of experimental data (e.g., visualization, statistical analysis, provenance)
• Automated uncertainty quantification for experimental workflows (or data-focused workflows)
• Systems to incorporate (potentially very large) data into automated testing frameworks
• Sustainable models for public data sharing

• full workshop paper: a regular article with up to 12 pages

Please note that only full workshop papers (10-12 pages), which have been positively reviewed by at least three referees before being presented at the workshop, may be included in the workshop proceedings.

We welcome demos and tutorials addressing (potential) solutions to the reproducibiblity/replicability problem. Please contact us directly if you want to give a tutorial (demo).

The workshop will provide several slots (20 min talk + 5 min questions) for contributed talks. We therefore invite scientists to submit abstracts (max. 1 page) of contributed talks that are related to the workshop topics. The abstracts accepted for contributed talks will not be included in the workshop proceedings. Please submit the abstract through EasyChair.

• Workshop papers due (extended): 6 May 2016 25 May 2016
• Workshop author notification: 17 June 2016
• Workshop paper (for informal workshop proceedings) due: 29 July 2016
• Workshop camera-ready papers due: 3 October 2016
• Demos/Tutorials proposals due: 10 June 2016
• Abstract of contributed talks due: 10 June 2016

Accepted articles will be published in the Euro-Par workshop proceedings after the conference.

Submissions are handled through the EasyChair conference system.
