          Workshop on Binary Instrumentation and Applications

      Held in conjunction with the 14th International Conference on
           Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques
                              PACT-14
                           St. Louis, MO
                         September 18, 2005

David Kaeli, Northeastern University - kaeli@ece.neu.edu 

Topics:
This workshop provides a forum for researchers to present
their work on binary instrumentation systems and applications.
Binary instrumentation has been shown to be an effective technique to
support program analysis, debugging, security, and simulation.  A 
number of binary instrumentation tools and runtime systems
have been developed.  Binary instrumentation can be effectively
implemented statically (at compile or link time) or dynamically
(at run time).  This workshop will provide researchers with an 
opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about new tools and applications.

This workshop will consider papers that address range of topics, including:

* Binary instrumentation toolsets 
* Program profiling 
* Dynamic optimization
* Quantitative metrics for binary instrumentation systems 
* Microarchitectural studies 
* Security applications 
* Software testing and correctness 
* New applications for instrumentation 
* Binary instrumentation tools used in compiler and architecture education 

Authors should submit a 2-page abstract to the workshop 
organizers by 8/1/2005.  All submissions should be in PDF format.
Authors of accepted papers will be asked to provide a camera-ready
full paper (8-pages, single-spaced, double-column format) by 9/9/2005.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published in ACM SIGARCH News
(pending approval).

Important dates: 
 - Abstracts due:              08/01/2005 
 - Notification of acceptance: 08/12/2005 
 - Camera-ready paper due:     09/09/2005 
 - Workshop date:              09/18/2005
