Provocative Ideas Session
This session continues the long-running tradition of ASPLOS in sharing bold forward-looking and unconventional ideas in the early stage of their development. In the past, this session has been named Wild and Crazy Ideas as well as Ideas and Perspectives. We are experimenting with different names in order to revive the session and to emphasize its focus on bold and provocative ideas and to shift away from the "stand-up comedy" aspect.
In other words, share your bold new ideas even if you do not have the skills of a stand-up comedian. This is the session where you can share your wildest dreams about what computing is to be, and no one will criticize you for being "wrong" or "unrealistic".
