CALL FOR PAPERS The 22nd Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture Portofino, Italy Dates: June 22-24, 1995 Sponsored by Association for Computing Machinery/SIGARCH IEEE Computer Society Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) with the support of SGS-Thomson-Microelectronics and Olivetti In Cooperation with the University of Genoa Eight copies of a double-spaced manuscript, in English, and not exceeding 6000 words in length, should be sent to the Program Chair. Papers will be accepted for consideration until December 1, 1994. A single cover sheet should be included which contains: paper title, full names, affiliations, complete addresses, phone and FAX numbers, and email addresses of the authors, as well as a 100 to 150 word abstract and a list of up to five keywords. Because the identity of authors will not be revealed to the referees, authors' names and affiliations must appear only on the cover sheet. Authors should avoid references and citations that compromise anonymity. Notification of acceptance will be mailed by February 1, 1995. Authors will be requested to submit a final, camera-ready copy by March 24, 1995 for inclusion in the proceedings. Papers are solicited on any aspects of Computer Architecture. Topic areas include, but are not limited to, - Novel architectures and computing techniques - Multiprocessors, multicomputers, and distributed architectures - Superscalar, superpipelined, and VLIW processors - Very-high performance architectures - Massively parallel architectures - Architectural implications of application characteristics - Non-numeric architectures - Technology impact on architecture - Language and operating systems support - Application-specific architectures - Performance evaluation and measurement - Memory systems - I/O systems and architecture As always, papers will be judged on their scientific merit and antici- pated interest to conference attendees. It is understood that papers in new areas are likely to contain less quantitative evaluations and comparisons than those in more established areas. As in previous years, a series of tutorials and workshops will be held immediately preceding and/or following the symposium. Tutorial and workshop proposals will be accepted until December 1, 1994. If you wish to organize a full or 1/2 day tutorial, please send to the Tutorials Chair five copies of a detailed proposal, including tutorial title, outline, brief description of topics to be covered, intended audience, assumed attendee background, and the name(s), affiliation(s), and resume(s) of the speaker(s). If you wish to organize a workshop, please send to the Workshops Chair five copies of a detailed proposal, including workshop title, descrip- tion of its scope, list of invited participants, and name(s) and affiliation(s) of the organizer(s). A limited number of Student Travel Grants will be available for ISCA '95 student attendees. Information may be obtained from the student travel grants chair.
