ASPLOS 2013 invites papers on ground-breaking research on current and future computer systems, from ultra-low power embedded and wearable devices to large-scale parallel computers. Submissions should emphasize synergy of at least two ASPLOS communities: architecture; programming languages; and operating systems. Papers on non-traditional topics are especially encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• emerging platforms in all forms and scales, from sensor networks to exascale systems

• computer systems that address social, educational, and environmental challenges

• power, energy, and thermal management

• distributed and cloud computing

• heterogeneous architectures; graphics and media processing

• memory and storage technologies and architectures

• case studies and user studies

• security, reliability and availability

• new computing models, including molecular, biological, and quantum computing
