16th International Conference on Supercomputing
June 2002
New York, NY, USA
Sponsored by ACM/SIGARCH
http://www.tc.cornell.edu/ics02/
Paper submission deadline: February 15, 2002

ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of
research results in high-performance computing systems. Now in its
16th year, the conference also includes invited talks, tutorials,
workshops, panels, and exhibits.  New York City - the first capital
city of the United States, and home to the Statue of Liberty,
Broadway, and Times Square - will host the conference this year.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development,
and application of high-performance systems, including new
experimental and commercial systems, architectures with fine and
coarse grain parallelism, grid computing, novel infrastructures
for the Internet, parallel network processors, parallel I/O and
storage, autonomic computing, ubiquitous computing, embedded
and power-aware computer architectures, operating systems
and support software, restructuring and optimizing compilers,
program development tools, high-performance Java, performance
evaluation studies, numerical or non-numerical algorithms, and
computationally challenging scientific and e-business applications.

Papers should not exceed 6,000 words, and must be submitted
electronically using the submission form available at
http://www.tc.cornell.edu/ics02/. Submissions must be in pdf or
postscript format.

Workshop and tutorial proposals are solicited, and are due by
March 15, 2002.

For further information and future updates, please refer to the
ICS'02 web site at http://www.tc.cornell.edu/ics02/, or contact
the Program or General Chairs. Thank you very much for your time
in reading this call for papers.

Hot Chips 14            Stanford University, Palo Alto, California,
Call for Submissions    August 2002

 A Symposium on High-Performance Chips

Since it began in 1989, Hot Chips has been known as one of the
semiconductor industry's leading conferences on high-performance
microprocessors and related integrated circuits. The conference is held
once a year in August on the Stanford University campus in the center
of the world's capital of electronics activity, Silicon Valley. The
emphasis this year, as in previous years, is on real products and
realizable technology.

Topics of interest for this year's conference include:
=

*  Systems-on-chip              *  Special-function processors: DSP,
				   multimedia, network
*  Single-chip multiprocessors  *  Special-function chips: graphics,
				   security, communications
*  Embedded processors          *  High-performance microprocessors
*  Low-power chips              *  Operating system/chip interaction
*  Performance evaluation       *  Nano and quantum computing
*  Novel compiler technology    *  Integrated MEMS devices
*  Binary translation           *  Advanced semiconductor process
				   technology

Presentations at Hot Chips are in the form of 30-minute talks.
Presentation slides will be published in the Hot Chips Proceedings.
Participants are not required to submit written papers, but a select
group will be invited to submit a paper for inclusion in a special issue
of IEEE Micro.

Submissions must consist of a title, abstract (three pages maximum),
and the presenter's contact information (name, affiliation, job
title, address, phone, fax, and email). Please indicate whether you
have submitted or intend to submit a similar submission to another
conference or journal. Also indicate if you would like the submission
to be held confidential until the conference; we do our best to maintain
confidentiality.

Submissions are evaluated by the Program Committee on the basis of
the performance of the device, degree of innovation, use of advanced
technology, and potential market significance. Authors will be notified
of the status of their submission by the end of April, 2002.

Don't miss this chance to present your device to an audience of the
leading technologists in the world of semiconductors. Submissions must
be received no later than March 15, 2002. Please make your submissions in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format by email to hotchips@eecs.berkeley.edu.  For more
information check out the Hot Chips 14 Web site at www.hotchips.org.
Send questions to hotchips@eecs.berkeley.edu or contact:


        John Wawrzynek  at (510) 643-9434, or
        Keith Diefendorff at (650) 567-5188.

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Microprocessors and
Microcomputers of the IEEE Computer Society.

                          Call for Papers
                      announcing the launch of

         ********** Computer Architecture Letters *********
         ***** A refereed forum for technical letters *****


Beginning with the January, 2002 issue, the Newsletter of the TCCA is
changing name and focus. Computer Architecture Letters will be a
quarterly forum for short, critically refereed, technical "letters",
with an emphasis on rapid review and publication.  Accepted letters
will be published immediately on the TCCA website and in the next
available paper issue.  We are seeking immediate submissions for our
inaugural issue in January.

All submissions must consist of original work. Submitted letters must
be four pages or fewer, including all figures, tables, and references.
Submissions exceeding this length will be returned without review.
Papers should use 8.5in x 11in (21.55cm x 28cm) paper with 1-in
(2.5cm) margins, 10-pt. or larger font, and single spacing.  Please
submit electronically in postscript or PDF, and ensure that the
submitted file can be viewed in ghostview or Acrobat Reader 3.0.  No
hard copy is necessary.

Submissions will be accepted on a continuing basis, but to ensure
publication in the January issue, manuscripts should be submitted by
Dec. 21, 2001.  Authors should direct their submissions to the TCCA
website at http://www.computer.org/tab/tcca/ and each submission will
be assigned to an appropriate member of the Editorial Board to manage
the review process. Upon acceptance, a standard IEEE copyright release
will be required.  For questions, please send e-mail to
tcca@cs.virginia.edu.

Submissions are welcomed on any topic in computer architecture,
especially but not limited to:
  -  Microprocessor and multiprocessor systems
  -  Microarchitecture and ILP processors
  -  Workload characterization
  -  Performance evaluation and simulation techniques
  -  Compiler-hardware and operating system-hardware interactions
  -  Interconnect architectures
  -  Memory and cache systems
  -  Power and thermal issues at the architecture level
  -  I/O architectures and techniques
  -  Independent validation of previously published results
  -  Analysis of unsuccessful techniques
  -  Network and embedded-systems processors
  -  Real-time and high-availability architectures
  -  Reconfigurable systems
