The shift to multi-core computing has increased the relevance of parallel programming paradigms such as transactional memory. On the other hand, semiconductor technology scaling is getting close to atomic scale, causing reliability issues and making dependability a first-class design constraint. The DMTM workshop, co-organized by the COST Actions Euro-TM (http://www.eurotm.org) and MEDIAN (http://www.median-project.eu), aims to bring together these two relevant and timely topics.  While papers covering both Transactional Memory and Dependability are ideal, we welcome papers in only one of the two topics as well.

Topic of Interest

• Hardware and software techniques to enhance dependability of multi-core systems and parallel applications
• Transactional Memory (TM) and its applications for failure-isolation, failure-atomicity and real-time systems
• Methodologies and tools for the development of concurrent applications for embedded systems
• Correctness, performance, testing and debugging of TM and multi-core applications
• Hardware, OS and language supports for TM and other programming paradigms for concurrent programming
• Energy/reliability/performance tradeoffs
• Fault-Tolerant micro-architectures and parallel system architectures
• Compiler/architecture/OS methodologies and strategies for reliability
• Error modeling, detection, correction, and tolerance for transient and permanent errors in multi-core architectures
• Reliable on-chip communications

Registration

This meeting is co-organized by the Euro-TM and MEDIAN COST Actions, which are supported by the European Commission. Some important notices:
- Either Euro-TM or MEDIAN can provide financial support for travel and accommodation costs (2 nights, at a flat rate of 120 EUR per night, as by COST regulations). Detailed information on eligible participants and expenses, as well as on reimbursement process can be found here (Euro-TM) and here (MEDIAN).
- COST members who attend *exclusively* DMTM will not need to register to the HiPEAC workshops or conference.

- If you intend to attend both DMTM and the HiPEAC conference, then you should register both 1) in DMTM, via email (as specified below), and 2) in the HiPEAC conference, via their website.
- COST members who attend also HiPEAC will still be entitled to reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs. However, Euro-TM and MEDIAN will not cover registration costs for the HiPEAC conference, i.e., if you intend to attend HiPEAC you will have to register regularly to the conference.
- **Registration for DMTM is mandatory but free**. To register for the workshop send an email until December 31st with your name and institution to the following addresses:
     mcouceiro <at> gsd <dot> inesc-id <dot> pt
     eurotm <at> gsd <dot> inesc-id <dot> pt

 In the email, please specify if you intend apply for financial support from Euro-TM. In this case, include also a forecast of your travel and accommodation expenses.

Submission Instructions

The workshop will consist of short presentations.  To facilitate later submission to other venues, DMTM will not have published proceedings.

Please submit a two pages maximum describing your research-in-progress at EasyChair:
