The International Symposium Computer Architecture is the premier forum for new ideas and experimental results in computer architecture. This year's conference will be held in the amazing, beautiful Saint-Malo, France.

Novel papers are solicited on a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to:

Processor, memory, and storage systems architecture
Parallel and multi-core systems and Interconnection networks
Instruction, thread, and data-level parallelism
Architecture support for programming productivity, debugging & correctness, reliability & fault tolerance, security, and virtualization
Power and energy efficient architectures
Application specific, reconfigurable, and embedded architectures
Network processor and router architectures
Architectures for emerging technologies and applications
Effect of circuits and technology on architecture
Architecture modeling and simulation methodology
Performance evaluation and measurement of real systems
Architecture and analysis of emerging computing platforms, such as mobile devices, game consoles, and datacenter-scale computing
We also encourage papers describing forward looking, Qualitative Out of the Box, ideas (QOB). These QOB papers (marked by the authors as such) will get separate PC attention: reviews will take into account the qualitative, creativity and novelty flavors of these papers. The QOB papers may be shorter than the regular paper and may not always be subjected to the rigorous quantitative evaluations and comparisons that are possible in more established areas.
