Call for Submissions

Submission Invitation

The Organizing Committee invites the submission of 2-page papers in the areas of interest for the PMES workshop. The Organizing Committee will review these position papers, and accept position papers for presentation at the workshop. Position papers should describe a research topic or question in next-generation hardware and software technologies, such as those topics listed in the workshop overview. This description should briefly address the following criteria:

  • Technology description: What technology (e.g., software, hardware, simulator) are you advocating, and what is its potential impact on architectures and/or applications?
  • Challenges addressed: Which computing challenges does this technology address?
  • Novelty: How is this approach different from existing solutions?
  • Timeliness: Why now? How mature is this technology: theoretical, bench demonstration, working prototype, fielded systems?
  • Risks: What are the hurdles to deploying this technology to the broad computing community?

Authors of accepted position papers will be invited to participate in the workshop based on the overall quality of the position paper and our expectation that their inclusion in the workshop will stimulate constructive discussion by workshop participants. Unique or controversial positions that are well presented and emphasize transformative approaches to these questions will be given preference. Finally, all accepted position papers will be made available online on the workshop website.

Authors are encouraged to review the earlier programs at PMES16 and PMES17 to see examples of accepted papers.

Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical or experience papers not exceeding 2 pages of content. The 2-page limit includes figures, tables and appendices, but does not include acknowledgements or references, for which there is no page limit.

Submissions must conform to the following format:

  • Submissions must use the 2 pages in IEEE Transactions format template available at
  • Cited references and acknowledgements do not count against this page limit.
  • Abstracts (at the top of the template) are limited to 75 words.
  • Authors should not include
    • Keywords
    • Author Bios

The review process will be single-blind, in which the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors. The paper may include any number of authors, but must provide contact information for a single "contact" author who will register for and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no limit to the number of position papers that an individual or group can submit. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Submissions are single-blind. (Author names should be included on the submission.)

Papers should be submitted electronically at

Proceedings

Extended abstracts selected for the workshop will be compiled and published as a technical report on arXiv.org.

Authors will retain the copyright to their material.
