CALL FOR PAPERS: WDDD 2004
*************************************************************
Workshop on Duplicating, Deconstructing, and Debunking
http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~wddd
Held in conjunction with ISCA-31
Munich, Germany
June 19-20, 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES

Abstracts due: April 12, 2004
Submissions due: April 19, 2004
Acceptance: May 10, 2004
Final version: June 7, 2004
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
-----------------
WDDD provides the computer architecture and microarchitecture
research community a forum for work that validates or
duplicates earlier results; deconstructs prior findings
by providing greater, in-depth insight into causal relationships
or correlations; or debunks earlier findings by describing
precisely how and why proposed techniques fail where earlier
successes were claimed, or succeed where failure was reported.
Traditionally, computer architecture conferences and
workshops focus almost exclusively on novelty and performance,
neglecting an abundance of interesting work that lacks one or
both of these attributes. A significant part of research--in
fact, the backbone of the scientific method--involves independent
validation of existing work and the exploration of strange ideas
that never pan out. This workshop provides a venue for
disseminating such work in our community. Published validation
experiments strengthen existing work, while thorough comparisons
provide new dimensions and perspectives. Studies that refute
or correct existing work also strengthen the research community,
by ensuring that published material is technically correct and
has sound assumptions. Publishing negative or strange or
unexpected results will allow future researchers to learn the
hard lessons of others, without repeating their effort.
This workshop will set a high scientific standard for such
experiments, and will require insightful analysis to justify
all conclusions. The workshop will favor submissions that
provide meaningful insights and point to underlying root causes
for the failure or success of the technique under investigation.
Acceptable work must thoroughly investigate and clearly communicate
why the proposed technique performs as the results indicate.
Rebuttals may be invited for debunking submissions.
SUBMISSION TOPICS
-----------------
* Independent validation of earlier results with meaningful analysis
* In-depth analysis and sensitivity studies that provide further
insight into earlier findings, or identify key parameters or
assumptions that affect the results
* Studies that refute earlier findings, with clear justification
and explanation
* Negative results for ideas that intuitively make sense and
should work, along with explanations for why they do not
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------
* Submit a 200-word abstract plus title and list of authors in
plain text email by April 12, 2004 to wddd@ece.wisc.edu.
* Submit a 5000-word or less (brief and to-the-point submissions
are strongly encouraged) double-spaced manuscript by April 19, 2004,
as a PS or PDF file on the workshop website www.ece.wisc.edu/~wddd
Inappropriate submissions, as described in the submitted abstract,
will be rejected outright. Similarly, inflammatory, abusive, or
overtly combative and negative submissions will not be considered.
Accepted papers will be published in the ISCA-31 workshop proceedings.

* Workshop on Computer Architecture Education Call for Papers
WORKSHOP ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION
Munich, Germany
June 19 or 20, 2004
Held in conjunction with the
31st International Symposium on Computer Architecture
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~efg/wcae2004.html
Submission deadline: May 7, 2004 (full paper)
Theme
This is the eleventh in a series of workshops that have been held at both
ISCA and at HPCA, most recently at ISCA 2002 in Anchorage. The goal of the
workshop is to provide a forum for educators to discuss and share their
experiences and teaching philosophy. The goal is for participants to come
away from the workshop with new ideas on delivering courses in computer
architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following.
Topics of Interest
New approaches to introductory courses Hardware tools
Advanced courses Simulators and other software tools
New curricula Teaching embedded systems
National differences in curricula Prototyping
Interdepartmental issues (CS/ECE) Visualization aids
Distance education VLSI design packages
Active learning Web-based materials
Industrial support for teaching Textbook development
Encouraging students to do research Textbook selection
Encouraging students to pursue the PhD Integration of research into teaching
The workshop format will ample time for discussion as well as presentations
of invited and refereed papers.
Submission of Contributions
Interested authors should submit a full paper (not to exceed 8 pages,
with a minimum font size of 10 points) to
