Information:
The iWAPT 2012 will be held in conjunction with VECPAR 2012.

Conference Overview

The goal of the Seventh International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning (iWAPT2012) is to bring together researchers who are investigating automated techniques for constructing and/or adapting algorithms and software for high-performance on modern complex machine architectures.

Topics of Interest

We are particularly interested in autotuning and its relationship to the following topic areas, among others:

Format of the Workshop and How to Contribute

This year, are soliciting two kinds of contributions: regular papers and previously published papers. Only regular papers will become a part of the formal proceedings, though all papers will be distributed to workshop attendees. The goal of this format is to encourage broad participation in the workshop, both for new work and prior but current work. All accepted papers will be assigned a speaking slot in the workshop's agenda.

Regular papers: These are papers presenting new work that the authors wish to be considered as part of the formal published proceedings. Such papers will be judged on the usual criteria of novelty, technical soundness, and writing quality. These papers will be peer-reviewed and, if accepted, part of the VECPAR proceedings.

Prior papers: These are papers that may have already been published but still reflect the authors' current interests. Importantly, such papers will *not* be included in the formal published proceedings. The review will be lighter, with acceptance determined by relevance, likely significance to workshop attendees, and availability of time in the agenda.

Please indicate how you wish your paper to be considered as a subtitle of your submission. For prior papers, also indicate where the paper appeared previously.
