WAX 2015

WAX 2015 Workshop Program

Saturday, June 13, 2015; OCC C120–C121

9:30–10:00: Opening and introductions

Be ready to say who you are, where you’re affiliated with, and why you’re at the workshop.

10:00–11:00am: Position paper talks, session 1: Domains

Talks are 10 minutes each, and each talk will have 3 minutes for short clarification questions immediately afterward. The last 20 minutes are for discussion of all of the papers in the session: we’ll spend 10 minutes in small-group discussion; the last 10 minutes are for discussion among the whole group and asking questions of the speakers.

11:00–11:30am: Break

11:30–noon: Lightning talks

Each speaker gets 60 seconds to present and 60 seconds for questions. We will use any time left over at the end for ad-hoc slide-free talks, large-group discussion, and more questions for the speakers.

noon–12:30pm: Organizing for lunchtime discussions

We’ll select topics for discussion over lunch, assign groups to topics, and choose a scribe for each group. The scribe will be responsible for reporting out from the discussion after lunch.

12:30–2:00pm: Lunch

If you’re a group’s scribe, be sure to use the last few minutes of the lunch slot to prepare for reporting out—make your slides if you want to use any.

2:00–2:30pm: Summary discussion from lunch breakouts

Each group’s scribe has a few minutes to talk and lead discussion on the results from the topic.

2:30–3:30pm: Position paper talks, session 2: Quality

10+3 minutes per talk; 10 minutes small-group discussion; 10 minutes large-group discussion.

3:30–4:00pm: Break

4:00–5:00pm: Position paper talks, session 3: Efficiency

10+3 minutes per talk; 10 minutes small-group discussion; 10 minutes large-group discussion.

5:00–5:30pm: Closing discussion: How could approximate computing fail, and how can it gain traction?
