High Performance Computer Architecture Conference 2016 The HiPEAC conference is the premier European forum for experts in computer architecture, programming models, compilers and operating systems for embedded and general-purpose systems. The 11th HiPEAC conference will take place in Prague, Czech republic from Monday, January 18 to Wednesday, January 20, 2016. Associated workshops, tutorials, special sessions, several large poster session and an industrial exhibition will run in parallel with the conference.

HIPEAC Conference 2016: Call for Workshop/Tutorial Proposals

Submission Deadline: June 15th, 2015

The success of the workshops and tutorials of the previous years’ HiPEAC Conferences in Vienna and Amsterdam with more than 30 events each encouraged the HiPEAC 2015 organizers to try following this success story again. Hence, in conjunction with the 11th HiPEAC Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, January 18-20, 2016 (see http://www.hipeac.net/conference), we will organize parallel workshops and tutorials. Proposals for workshops and tutorials covering at least one of the following topics are welcome:

• High performance computer architecture (processor architecture, multi-/many-core system design, reconfigurable architectures)
• Software development for high performance parallel systems (development patterns/automatic techniques for parallel and reconfigurable architectures)
• Tools for compilation, evaluation, optimization as well as synthesis of high performance parallel systems (compiler support, tracing, and debugging for parallel and reconfigurable architectures, high-level synthesis tools)
• Embedded (parallel) computer architectures (embedded homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore architectures, embedded reconfigurable architectures, embedded real-time systems, mixed criticality system support, dependable systems)
• Software support for embedded architectures (Tracing and real-time analysis of embedded applications, runtime software)
• (Real-Time) Operating and runtime systems for embedded parallel computer architectures
• Crazy architectural ideas (any idea to solve computational problems away from the conventional concepts)
• Low-Power Solutions (Software, Runtime, Compilation, Hardware, Error-Aware Computation, Sub-Threshold operation, Approximate Computing, Reversible Computing)
• Future Scalable Memory Architectures (Processing-In-Memory, Near-Memory Computing, Intelligent Memory, etc.)
• Green Data Centers / Microserver (System architecture, Software tools)

We also appreciate industrial and EC project based workshops that fit into one of the mentioned focuses.

A workshop proposal should contain the following items:

• Title of the workshop (including abbreviation)
• Organizers and their affiliations
• Main topics
• Preliminary deadlines
• Expected duration and format of the workshop (half or full day, keynote, talks, panel)
• Expected number of talks and attendance and, if the workshop took place before, location and time
• Please indicate if you plan to publish an open CFP or if you plan to have invited talks only.

For a tutorial proposal please include the following information:

• Title of the tutorial
• Organizers and presenters with affiliations and a short biography
• Abstract of the tutorial and a list of the covered topics
• Some related bibliography
• Expected duration and format (half or full day, talk with demo or talk only)
• Expected attendance and, if the tutorial was held before, location and time

If the proposed event is sponsored by a third party (e.g. industry), please indicate that in the proposal.

Please submit a one page PDF with your proposal by email to the workshop and tutorial chairs
Diana Goehringer (diana.goehringer@rub.de) and Pedro Trancoso (pedro@cs.ucy.ac.cy)

not later than June 15th, 2015.

ICCD 2015: Call for Special Sessions

The International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD) encompasses a wide range of topics in the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their components. ICCD's multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical work covering system and computer architecture, test, verification and security, design and technology, and tools and methodologies.

ICCD 2015 will be held in New York City, NY, USA (October 19-21, 2015).

Researchers both from academia and industry are invited to submit proposals for special sessions. A special session could consists of a set of individual presentations or a panel. The special sessions should aim at providing a complementary experience with respect to the regular sessions. Hence, sessions focusing on hot topics of interest to the community that may also go beyond disciplines traditionally represented at ICCD are particularly welcome.

The theme for ICCD 2015 is "Hardware and Embedded Security".
Organizers are encouraged to incorporate this theme into the rationale for their proposals.

Submission details:

A single PDF file including the following information:

• Title of the special session.
• Rationale of the need for the special session at ICCD. The rationale should stress the novelty of the topic and/or its multidisciplinary flavor, and must explain how it is different from the subjects covered by the regular sessions.
• Short biography of the organizers.
• List of three (3) contributed presentations (including titles, presenters, contact information of the corresponding presenter, and an abstract of each contribution). For panel proposals, list three to five panelists and their area of expertise.

Proposals are due on or before June 21, 2015 11:59pm and should be sent via e-mail to both ICCD-2015 Special Session Chairs:

•    Luca Carloni, Columbia University, US, <luca@cs.columbia.edu>
•    Christian Pilato, Columbia University, US, <pilato@cs.columbia.edu>

Each presenter of accepted special sessions will have the opportunity to submit a 4-page paper to be included in the proceedings.

Important dates:

• Special Session proposal due: June 21, 2015
• Acceptance notification: July 21, 2015
• Camera-ready version due: August 22, 2015
