 Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming models offer a
 shared address space model that simplifies programming while exposing
 data/thread locality to enhance performance. The PGAS conference is the
 premier forum to present and discuss ideas and research developments in
 the area of: PGAS models, languages, compilers, runtimes, applications
 and tools, PGAS architectures and hardware features.

 TOPICS

 Submissions are invited in related areas, including, but not limited
 to:

   * Applications. New applications that are uniquely enabled by the
     PGAS model, existing applications and effective application
     development practices for PGAS codes.
   * Performance Analysis of application performance over various
     programming models.
   * Developments in Programming Models and Languages. PGAS models,
     language extensions, and hybrid models to address emerging
     architectures, such as multicore, hybrid, heterogeneous, SIMD and
     reconfigurable architectures.
   * Tools, Compilers, and Implementations. Integrated Development
     Environments, performance analysis tools and debuggers. Compiler
     optimisations for PGAS languages, low level libraries, memory
     consistency models. Hardware support for PGAS languages,
     performance studies and insights, productivity studies, and
     language interoperability.

 SUBMISSION CATEGORIES and GUIDELINES

 Papers should report on original research, and should include enough
 background material to make them accessible to the entire PGAS research
 community. Papers describing experiences should indicate how they
 illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming
 foundations should indicate how they relate to practice.

 There are three submission categories:

   * Research papers: submission of full paper of up to 8 pages at 10pt
     font.
   * "Hot" PGAS papers: submission of extended abstracts, 3 pages
     maximum at 10pt font. Submissions in this category target
     work-in-progress research and will, if accepted, be given shorter
     presentation slots than the full research papers.
   * Posters: submission of extended abstracts, 1 page maximum at 10pt
     font.

 Publication of conference proceedings

 Accepted submissions in the "Research papers" category will be
 published in the conference proceedings. The Programme Committee will
 also offer a selection of "Hot PGAS" submissions the chance for
 publication.
