== <big>'''2012 International Workshop on Languages for the Multi-core Era'''</big> ==
                June 13 2012, at ECOOP 2012, Beijing China
                      http://ecoop12.cs.purdue.edu/
 (also colocated with PLDI, ISMM, LCTES, the X10 workshop, and other events)

LaME is an interactive venue for exposing, evaluating, and developing programming language support for concurrency. This workshop provides a forum for the proposal and discussion of creative ideas that spur the development of innovative or improved concurrency models, languages, run-time systems, libraries and tools for multicore programming. 

== Motivation ==

Concurrent programming has become a fundamental approach for leveraging the processing power of modern multi-core architectures. And, although research in concurrent programming models and languages is decades old, writing concurrent software today continues to be challenging and error-prone as always. The advent of multi-core architecture refueled the quest for efficient concurrency models and productive programming languages. Consequently, the last decade has been witness to a growing effort of research in this area. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the proposal and discussion of new ideas in concurrent programming languages and models, and to provide feedback to authors in an informal atmosphere.

We want to acknowledge the contributions of all involved in preparing and also attending LaME. We had full house and a very rewarding day of presentations and debate.
