[DMANET] Call for Participation: PODC/SPAA EMERALD workshop

*---------------------------------------------EMERALD*: Distributed
Computing with Emerging Hardware Technology
*June 21, 2024, Nantes, France*

Collocated with PODC and SPAA 2024

https://emerald-workshop.github.io/
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
EMERALD aims at investigating how the utilization of future and emerging
hardware technology can influence (or add to) the foundations of concurrent
and distributed computing. The workshop hosts a series of invited talks
which will contribute to the better understanding of how such technology
could change what we know about concurrent and distributed algorithms and
models. The emphasis is on persistent memory computing, NUMA-aware
computing, distributed computing in systems with Remote Direct Memory
Accesses (RDMA), distributed and concurrent computing on top of
heterogeneous hardware, processing in memory (PIM), near-memory processing
(NMP), disaggregated/composable systems, and other topics.

EMERALD is proud to announce the *current list of speakers*:
1. *Naama Ben David*, Technion, Israel
2. *Gregory Chockler*, University of Surrey, UK
3. *Denisa-Andreea Constantinescu*, EPFL, Switzerland
4. *Panagiota Fatourou*, University of Crete and FORTH, Greece
5. *Wojciech Golab*, University of Waterloo, Canada
6. *Jim Larus*, EPFL, Switzerland
7. *Roberto Palmieri*, Lehigh University, US
8. *Joao Pedro Barreto*, University of Lisbon and INESC-ID, Portugal
9. *Erez Petrank*, Technion, Israel
10. *Paolo Romano*, University of Lisbon and INESC-ID, Portugal
11. *Eric Ruppert*, York University, Canada
12. *Samuel Thomas*, Brown University, US
13. *Gala Yadgar*, Technion, Israel

Through the collection of invited talks, EMERALD aspires to reveal
realistic and practical aspects that can positively influence theory
research, in whatever regards the choice of the problems to work on, the
right level of abstraction to study them, how to come up with realistic
models for computation, how to efficiently support additional desirable
features (persistence, NUMA-awareness, architecture-specific design) when
designing concurrent and distributed algorithms, while maintaining or
improving their performance characteristics, etc.

EMERALD is a full-day event. In addition to hosting lectures, it features
an open discussion session aiming at highlighting important problems in the
area for future research.
