The 36th Annual IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP 2025)
July 28-30, 2025
Vancouver, BC, Canada
https://www.asap-2025.org
Registration link: https://www.asap-2025.org/registration/
Early registration deadline: June 28, 2025
The history of the event traces back to the International Workshop on Systolic Arrays, organized in 1986 in Oxford, UK. It later developed into the International Conference on Application Specific Array Processors. With its current title, it was organized for the first time in Chicago, USA in 1996. Since then it has alternated between Europe and North-America. The conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific systems, architectures, and processors.
For a quick preview of ASAP 2025, we will have a variety of talks across 1) LLMs, Transformers, and Accelerators, 2) Scalable Systems and Secure Acceleration, 3) RISC-V and Custom Architectures, and 4) Design Exploration and Emerging Hardware. Besides regular paper talks, we will have two exciting keynotes, and a few invited sessions on special topics such as 1) Reconfigurable Edge Computing, 2) Architectures for Sustainable Security, and 3) Custom Computing in Canada. One special event this year is a retrospective review of most impactful ASAP papers in the past decades. In addition, we are also planning for a couple of sponsor workshops and/or tutorials, as well as lots of interesting poster presentations.

Call for Papers: ACM Sigmetrics 2026: Operational Systems Track
https://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2026/
Submitted by Stefan Schmid (TU Berlin)
ACM Sigmetrics would like to point the community to a new track which may be of interest to some of you.
Operational Systems Track at ACM Sigmetrics 2026: This is a new track that seeks papers describing deployed systems that are in significant use in a real-world setting.
Papers in this track should focus on principled measurement, modeling, and metrics pertaining to the system. Papers in this track need not necessarily present new ideas as judged by the “academic novelty” standard that we traditionally use for research paper submissions.
Good papers could present how known ideas work in practice, how design principles scale (or do not scale) to large production-scale systems, prove (or, disprove) existing assumptions with real-world data, bring out new performance modeling problems from real-world systems to the attention of the research community, etc.
The paper must describe “lessons learned” in the context of prior approaches known in the literature. Accepted papers in this track will be published as a regular paper along with papers in the research track.

Call for Papers: ASPLOS 2026
https://www.asplos-conference.org/asplos2026/cfp/
Submitted by Hyeran Jeon & Guangyu Sun
ASPLOS, the ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems, is the premier academic forum for multidisciplinary applied computer systems research spanning hardware, software, and their interaction. It focuses on practical aspects of computer architecture, programming languages, operating systems, and associated areas such as networking and storage.
Please note the following main changes from previous years detailed in the rest of the CFP
https://www.asplos-conference.org/asplos2026/cfp/
Important Dates
ASPLOS 2026 has moved to two submission deadlines – spring and summer – which are meant to encourage authors to submit their papers when they are ready. As in recent years, ASPLOS 2026 will allow the authors of some submissions to choose to apply a major revision to their submission in order to fix a well-defined list of problems.
Spring Cycle
Summer Cycle
Scope and Expectations
The scope of ASPLOS 2026 covers all practical aspects related to the three main ASPLOS disciplines: computer architecture, programming languages, and operating systems, as well as closely-related associated areas. ASPLOS construes systems broadly, and areas of interest include, but are not limited to: operating systems, file and storage systems, distributed systems, cloud computing, mobile and edge systems, secure and reliable systems, systems aspects of big data and machine learning, embedded and real-time systems, and virtualization.
We seek original, high-quality research submissions that improve and further the knowledge of applied computer systems, with emphasis on the intersection between the main ASPLOS disciplines: Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Computer Architecture and Emerging Hardware.
Research submission may be applicable to computer systems of any scale, ranging from small, ultra-low power wearable devices to large scale parallel computers and data centers. We embrace research that directly targets new problems in innovative ways. The research may target diverse goals, such as throughput, latency, energy, and security. Non-traditional topics are encouraged, and the review process will be sensitive to the challenges of multidisciplinary work in emerging areas. We welcome submission of “experience papers” that have a novel component and that clearly articulate the lessons learned. We likewise welcome submissions whereby novelty lies in furthering our understandings of existing systems, e.g., by uncovering previously unknown, valuable insights or by convincingly refuting prior published results and common wisdom. We value submissions more highly if they are accompanied by clearly defined artifacts not previously available, including traces, original data, source code, or tools developed as part of the submitted work. We particularly encourage new ideas and approaches.
Alphabetically sorted areas of interest related to practical aspects of computer architecture, programming languages, and operating systems include but are not limited to:
A good submission will typically: motivate a significant problem; propose a practical solution or approach that makes sense; demonstrate not just the pros but also the cons of the proposal using sound experimental methods; explicitly disclose what has and has not been implemented; articulate the new contributions beyond previous work; and refrain from overclaiming, focusing the abstract and introduction sections primarily on the difference between the new proposal and what is already available. The latter statement should be interpreted broadly to also encompass studies that broaden our understanding of existing systems (rather than suggest new ones), which may constitute a significant problem in its own right. Submissions will be judged on relevance, novelty, technical merit, clarity. Submissions are expected to adhere to SIGPLAN’s Empirical Evaluation Guidelines and all the policies specified below.
