CALL FOR PAPERS
2010 ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers

www.computingfrontiers.org/2010

May 17 - 19, 2010, Bertinoro, Italy


Sponsored by ACM SIGMICRO
==========================================================================

The increasing complexity and performance needs of current and future
applications require novel and innovative approaches for design of various
types of computing systems: embedded, mobile, high-performance, and
more. Boundaries between state of the art and revolutionary innovation
constitute the computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to provide the
computational support required for the advancement of science and
engineering. This conference focuses on a wide spectrum of advanced
technologies and radically new solutions relevant to development of computer
systems and aims to foster communication among scientists and engineers to
achieve this.


Authors are invited to submit full papers and poster papers on all areas of
innovative computing systems that extend the current frontiers of computer
science and engineering. Submissions are sought on innovations in theory,
methodologies, technologies, and implementation of advanced computer systems
and focusing on computing paradigms, computational models, application
paradigms, computer architecture, development environments, compilers, and
operating environments. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the
following areas:

* Next-generation high performance computing and systems;
* Applications, programming models and performance analysis of advanced
architectures;
* Accelerators: manycore, GPU, custom, reconfigurable, embedded, hybrid;
* Active libraries, domain-specific languages and generative techniques;
* Defect and variability-tolerant designs;
* Power and energy efficiency – in architectures, compilers and algorithms;
* Virtualization and virtual machines;
* Cloud-, internet-scale, service-oriented and smart infrastructure
computing;
* Compilers and operating systems - adaptive, run-time and auto-tuning;
* System management and security;
* Quantum and nano-scale computing;
* Computational neuroscience, neuromorphic and biologically-inspired
architectures;
* Novel frontiers in computational science and scientific data
repositories;
* Computational aspects of intelligent systems and robotics;
* Reconfigurable, autonomic, organic and self-organizing computation and
systems;
* Interfaces and visualization for emerging applications and systems:
displays, VR, haptics.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format through the conference
web site at http://www.computingfrontiers.org/2010. Submitted papers should
not exceed 20 double-spaced, single-column pages, including figures, tables,
and references. Poster papers are also invited, and should not exceed 4
double-spaced, single-column pages, including figures, tables, and
references. Additional submission guidelines will be available on the
conference web site.

Selected papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the Springer
International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP).
