*** Apologies for multiple copies. Please circulate. *** ================================================================= Call for Papers 2008 ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers (Computing Frontiers 2008) Ischia, Italy May 5-7, 2008 http://www.computingfrontiers.org/ Sponsored by: Association for Computing Machinery ACM Special Interest Group on Microarchitecture ================================================================= Call for Papers - Computing Frontiers 2008 The increasing needs of present and future computation-intensive applications have stimulated research in new and innovative approaches to the design and implementation of high-performance computing systems. These boundaries between state of the art and innovation constitute the computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to provide the computational support required for the advancement of all science domains and applications. This conference focuses on a wide spectrum of advanced technologies and radically new solutions; it is designed to foster communication among many scientific and technological disciplines. Authors are invited to submit papers on all areas of innovative computing systems that extend the current frontiers of computer science and engineering and that will provide advanced systems for current and future applications. Papers are sought on theory, methodologies, technologies, and implementations concerned with innovations in computing paradigms, computational models, architectural paradigms, computer architectures, development environments, compilers, and operating environments. Papers should be submitted to one of the following areas: * Non-conventional computing * Next-generation high performance computing, esp. novel high-performance systems (including Cell, GPGPU and custom accelerators) * Applications, programming models and performance analysis of parallel architectures and novel high-performance systems * Virtualization and virtual machines * Grid computing * Compilers and operating systems * Workload characterization of emerging applications * Service oriented architecture (SOA) and system impact * Supercomputing * SOC architectures, embedded architectures and special purpose architectures * Temperature, energy, and complexity-aware designs * Fault tolerance and reliability * System management and security * Quantum computing * Computational biology * Reconfigurable computing * Autonomic and organic computing * Computation intelligence frontiers: theory and industrial applications All papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. In addition, selected papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the HiPEAC journal. Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 20 double-spaced, single-column pages, including figures, tables, and references. Submission implies that at least one author will register for the conference and present the paper, if accepted. Submissions must be made electronically as Adobe PDF files through the conference web-site, and must not be simultaneously submitted to any other publication outlet. ========================================================= Computing Frontiers 2008 Committee Information ========================================================= * General Chair: Alex Ramirez, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC) * Program Chairs: Michael Gschwind, IBM TJ Watson Research Center Gianfranco Bilardi, University of Padova * Program Committee: David Brooks, Harvard U.
