* ASPLOS Early Registration Deadline SEPTEMBER 6

The ASPLOS-X deadline for early registration is within days.

Please register online by ** SEPTEMBER 6 ** for lower conference rates.

You can register through the ASPLOS-X Web Site:

        http://www.cs.wisc.edu/asplos-X/

ASPLOS-X takes place Oct. 5-9, 2002, at the Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, CA.

The final program, including Workshops and Tutorials, as well as hotel and
travel information, are also available on the conference web site listed above.

Besides saving money, by registering early you also help the organizing
committee deal with planning uncertainties caused by economic downturn.

Finally, a limited number of Student Travel Grants are available. Details at:

* Call for papers: ACM SIGMETRICS 2003
              
                ****** ACM SIGMETRICS 2003 ******

                 International Conference on 
        Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems

                     June 10-14, 2003 
                 San Diego, California
            http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/sigm2003

   (held in conjunction with FCRC'03 (http://www.acm.org/fcrc)



The SIGMETRICS conference solicits papers on the development and
application of state-of-the-art, broadly applicable analytic,
simulation, and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques.
We are interested in techniques whose aim is to evaluate a system's
dependability, security, correctness, or power consumption as well as
more traditional performance metrics.  Of particular interest is work
that furthers the state of the art in performance evaluation methods,
or that creatively applies previously developed methods to gain
important insights into key design trade-offs in complex computer and
communication systems.  

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:


- Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of communication
  networks, Internet servers, computer architectures, database
  systems, operating systems, distributed systems, multimedia systems,
  mobile and handheld systems, file and I/O systems, memory systems,
  real-time systems, and dependable systems, including case studies
  and performance-evaluation tools.

- Performance methodology techniques, algorithms, and tools for
  analytic modeling, system measurement and monitoring, model
  verification and validation, workload characterization, simulation,
  statistical analysis, stochastic modeling including queues,
  stochastic Petri nets, stochastic process algebras, experimental
  design, reliability and availability analysis, power analysis,
  performance optimizations, and hybrid models.

Submission Guidelines
=====================

- Papers: On October 25, 2002, authors must submit the title,
  abstract, and author list (with affiliations) for their intended
  submission.  Submissions of the full papers are due on November 1,
  2002 and should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages, including figures
  and tables.  Papers must be submitted electronically in printable
  postscript or PDF form.  All submissions will be reviewed using a
  double-blind review process.  The identity of the authors and
  referees will not be revealed to each other.  To ensure blind
  reviewing, authors' names and affiliations MUST NOT appear in the
  paper; bibliographic references must be made in such as way as to
  preserve author anonymity.  See the web site for more information on
  submission.  

- Hot Topic Sessions: Proposals are solicited for a hot topic session,
  in which a group of speakers will present and discuss their recent
  results in an area.  Send proposals to the program chairs,
  identifying the organizer of the session, the session title, three
  to five speakers, the titles of their talks, and a short abstract of
  each talk.

- Tutorials: A series of tutorials will immediately precede the main
  conference.  Send proposals of no more than 1 or 2 pages (for
  90-minute or 3-hour tutorials) to the tutorials chair.  Include the
  proposed title, brief description of material, intended audience,
  assumed background of attendees, and the name, affiliation, contact
  information (e-mail and phone), and brief biography of speaker(s).
  Postscript or PDF is preferred.

* Call for papers: First Annual IEEE/ACM INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CODE GENERATION and OPTIMIZATION

CALL FOR PAPERS
First Annual IEEE/ACM INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
CODE GENERATION and OPTIMIZATION
With special emphasis on feedback-directed and runtime optimization

http://www.cgo.org

March 23-26, 2003
San Francisco, California

==============================================
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS September 16th
==============================================

Co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society TC-uARCH and ACM SIGMICRO,
in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN

The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization
(CGO) provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and
practitioners working on feedback-directed optimization and back-
end compilation techniques.  The conference spans the spectrum
from purely static to fully dynamic techniques.  CGO addresses
code optimization and focuses on optimizations' interaction with
hardware.  It is of special interest to those focused on systems
performance and other benefits visible to system users.  Papers
are solicited in fields including the following:

o       Feedback-directed optimization
o       Dynamic compilation, adaptive execution, and continuous
        profiling/optimization
o       Efficient profiling techniques
o       Back-end code generation
o       Binary translation
o       Incorporation of compilation techniques in hardware
o       New and innovative analyses, transformations, and intermediate
        representations applied to dynamic and feedback-directed
        optimization
o       Experiences with real dynamic optimization and compilation
        systems and large, complex applications
o       Architectural and system support for dynamic and feedback-
        directed optimization
o       Trade-offs of when (static/dynamic) and where (SW/HW) to
        optimize

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS September 16th, 2002 at 7pm EDT.
There is an automatic, one week extension for late papers.  There
will be no other extensions.

Submit one electronic copy of the 5000 word paper in PDF format.
Please visit the website for paper format guidelines and submission
instructions.  Notification of acceptance will occur by November 4,
2002.
