Dear all,

We welcome proposals for workshops and tutorials that fall within the scope of the SPAA community <https://spaa.acm.org/> or address research challenges in related areas/problems that have potential impact on the SPAA community. Proposals will be evaluated on a rolling basis, so early submissions are encouraged and will be reviewed promptly.

Please submit proposals to the SPAA 2026 Workshops and Tutorials Chair, Quanquan Liu ([email protected]).  Proposals should be submitted by April 25, 2026.

Proposals should be brief (at most 3 single-column pages).
