The ACSAC conference provides a forum for presenting research on most aspects of computer system architecture, with a focus on parallel architectures, computation models, reconfigurable systems, high performance architectures, compilers, power aware techniques, ubiquitous computing architectures and next -generation computing technologies. ACSAC has been held annually since 1996 to allow leading research groups to present their current research activities and their latest results. ==================== Topics of Interest ==================== -Instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and thread-level parallelism (TLP) -Processor architectures and microarchitectures -Parallel architectures and computation models -Reconfigurable computing systems -Memory systems -OS for emerging architectures -High-performance I/O architectures -Compilers and tools for all of the above -Benchmarking and measurement of real systems -OS and architecture support for secure computing -Architectures for high-productivity embedded systems -Simulation and performance evaluation -Hardware support for OS and compilers -Energy efficient and power aware techniques -Interconnect networks and network interfaces -Methodologies and architectures for application-specific systems -Impact of VLSI scaling and advanced submicron design -High-availability, high-reliability and fault tolerant architectures -Hardware/software partitioning, co-design and co-verification -Self-timed/globally asynchronous locally synchronous designs -Mobile system designs and implementations -Ubiquitous computing and architectures -Next-generation computing technologies =========== Workshops =========== Workshop on Urban Networks and Applications (UNA '08), Workshop on Zero-configuration Application Systems (ZCAS '08) and Workshop on Concurrent Programming Environment (CoPE '08) will be co-hosted with ACSAC '08. Please visit http://www.ccrc.nthu.edu.tw/acsac2008/workshop.htm for detailed information about workshops. ================= Important Dates ================= Deadline for Submission of Papers: March 30, 2008 (extended) Notification of Acceptance: May 15, 2008 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: June 01, 2008 Please visit the conference page at: http://www.ccrc.nthu.edu.tw/acsac2008 for more ACSAC 2008 and workshop information. For any further questions, please send an email to acsac2008@gmail.com. ============================= Paper Submission Guidelines ============================= Both research and industry papers are solicited. All the accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of ACSAC 2008, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected best papers presented at ACSAC'08 will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Supercomputing (SCI Indexed) and the Future Generation Computer Science (SCI Indexed). Papers are limited to 8 pages including figures and references and they must follow the IEEE 8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through https://www.softconf.com/starts/acsac2008/. The publication of a paper requires at least one of the authors to register and present at the conference. Manuscripts that are previously published or are being considered for publication elsewhere are not eligible to be considered for publication. ======================= Chairs and Committees ======================= General Co-Chairs Chung-Ta King, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Viktor K.
