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
* System management and security
* Quantum computing
* Computational biology
* Reconfigurable computing
* Autonomic and organic computing
* Computation intelligence frontiers: theory and industrial
applications
* Fault tolerance and Reliability

Selected papers will be published 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.
