                      CALL FOR TECHNICAL PAPERS

                 Submission Deadline: April 27, 2001

SC2001 solicits original papers reporting experimental or theoretical
results, innovative designs, and case studies related to high
performance networking and computing. Submissions should be of quality
to advance the state-of-the-art at the premier venue bringing together
the latest wave of technology, scalable architectures, networks,
computational science, programming tools, vast data sets,
visualization, and education. Topics of interest include: scalable
systems, internet service architectures, system-area local-area and
wide-area networking, distributed computing systems, data-,
throughput- and computation-intensive applications, exploitation of
large-scale databases and digital libraries, high performance I/O,
programming environments and tools, novel computer architecture and
technology, performance measurement and analysis, parallel databases,
visualization, distributed collaborations, parallel and distributed
algorithms, networked sensors, and integrated measurement and
simulation.

Papers are to be submitted in electronic form (pdf or postscript) by
April 27, 2001 containing: title, list of authors, correspondence
author and address, descriptive abstract of 150 words or less,
selection of keyword phrases, and an extended technical abstract of
3,500 words max, plus figures, containing full technical development
of results. (Accepted final papers will be of upto 6,000 words.
Submissions that approach 4,000 words or greater will be automatically
rejected without review.)  Student papers should be indicated as such.

The Technical Papers Committee will select papers of exceptional
technical quality, originality, relevance, and clarity. Each selected
paper will be published in full in the SC2001 Proceedings and
presented at the conference. Special awards will be made by the
Technical Papers Committee for the "Best Paper" and "Best Student
Paper". (Submissions for the Gorden Bell Prize should be clearly
marked as such; a separate acceptance and award process is used.)

SC2001 Important Information:

Location: Denver Convention Complex, Denver, Colorado
Conference Dates: November 10...16
Exhibition Dates: November 12...15, 2001
General Info: info@sc2001.org
Submissions Open: April 9, 2001
Submission Deadline: April 27, 2001
Notification: June 27, 2001
Final Version Due: July 30, 2001
Questions: techpapers@sc2001.org

The conference structure this year breaks down the usual barriers
between here and there. The SC2001 "Beyond Boundaries" conference will
link the Denver Convention Complex with constellation sites across the
U.S. and worldwide using advanced Access Grid collaboration
technology. This becomes a multinational and multicultural meeting
place for communication and discussion of high-performance computing
and communications ideas, and their impact on science and society.

First Workshop on Evaluating and Architecting System dependabilitY (EASY)

			   Goteborg, Sweden
			 Sunday, 1 July 2001
		    http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/EASY/

     Immediately precedes the 28th International Symposium on Computer
 Architecture (ISCA) and the International Conference on Dependable Systems
                             and Networks (DSN)

Important Deadlines:

   * Position paper submissions: April 16, 2001
   * Notification to authors: May 14, 2001
   * Camera-ready deadline: June 4, 2001

The First Workshop on Evaluating and Architecting System dependabilitY
(EASY) will bring together researchers from the computer architecture and
the dependable systems communities to foster interactive discussion on
methods and strategies for developing, performing, and standardizing
dependability evaluation for systems.  EASY will leverage the
opportunity presented by this year's colocation of the International
Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN) and the
International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA).  EASY is
described in more detail on the workshop web page
(http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/EASY/).

We seek short (one to five page) papers on dependability of all
aspects of client and server system design, including embedded systems
(e.g., mobile client appliances attached to the Internet), processor
and memory chips, network and storage devices, cluster and SMP
multiprocessing, systems software and application software. To
maximize interest among both communities, preference will be given to
empirical or practical studies, as opposed to formal or theoretical
studies. Topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:

   * Fault models for systems supported by empirical measurements.
   * Techniques for evaluating system availability and reliability.
   * Approaches for building highly-available and highly-reliable systems.
   * Proposals for dependability benchmarks for standardization.

We envision a highly interactive and interdisciplinary program,
including a combination of refereed paper presentations, invited
speakers, panel discussions and breakout brainstorming sessions. Given
the synergistic nature of these interactions, we plan to have scribes
record the discussions for inclusion in the workshop record. We will
publish a loose-leaf proceedings of the short papers submitted by
authors, augmented with summaries of the discussions held during the
workshop. Both the final papers and discussion summaries will also be
made available on a workshop website.

A small number of students will be granted free registration for
serving as scribes.  Their responsibilities will include taking
detailed notes of the interactions at the workshop, and helping the
workshop organizers prepare a digest of the proceedings.  Students who
wish to be considered for this opportunity should send a short
statement, describing their current research and explaning how they
would benefit from attending the workshop.  These statements should be
received by the organizers by the submission deadline below.

Please send position papers to one of the workshop organizers:
 Kimberly Keeton		 Steven Lumetta
 Hewlett-Packard Laboratories	 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
 kkeeton@hpl.hp.com		 lumetta@uiuc.edu

Electronic submissions are preferred, and must be in a standard format
(PDF or Postscript), render without error using standard tools
(Acrobat Reader or Ghostview), and print on both A4 and US-Letter
sized paper.


Important Deadlines:
   * Position paper submissions: April 16, 2001
   * Notification to authors: May 14, 2001
   * Camera-ready deadline: June 4, 2001
