6th Workshop on Theory of Transactional Memory

This year, the 6th edition of the Workshop on Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM) was collocated with PODC 2014 in Paris, and took place on July 14. The objective of WTTM was to discuss new theoretical chal-lenges and recent achievements in the area of transactional computing. Among the various recent developments in the area of Transactional Memory (TM), one of the most relevant was the support for Hardware TM (HTM), which was introduced in various commercial processors. Unsur-prisingly, the recent advent of HTM in commercial CPUs has had a major impact also in the program of this edition of WTTM, which has gathered several works addressing issues related to the programmability, efficiency, and correctness of HTM-based systems, as well as hybrid solutions combin-ing software and hardware TM implementations (HyTM). As in its previous editions, WTTM could count on the generous support of the EuroTM COST Action (IC1001), and on a set of outstanding keynot
