2008 ACM international Conference on Computing Frontiers

2008 ACM international Conference on Computing Frontiers

5-7 May 2008,Ischia, ItalySponsored by ACM – SIGMICRO

The increasing needs of present and future computation-intensive applications have stimulated research in new and innovative approaches to the design and implementation high-performance computing systems. These boundaries between state of the art and revolutionary innovation constitute the computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to provide the computational support required for the advancement of all science domains and applications. This conference focuses on a wide spectrum of advanced technologies and radically new solutions; it is designed to foster communication among many scientific and technological disciplines.

Authors are invited to submit papers on all areas of innovative computing systems that extend the current frontiers of computer science and engineering and that will provide advanced systems for current and future applications.

Papers are sought on theory, methodologies, technologies, and implementations concerned with innovations in computing paradigms, computational models, architectural paradigms. computer architectures, development environments, compilers, and operating environments. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• •

  non-conventional computing;

• •

  next-generation high-performance computing;

• •

  virtualization and virtual machines;

• •

  grid computing;

• •

  compilers and operating systems;

• •

  workload characterization of emerging applications;

• •

  service-oriented architecture and system impact;

• •

  supercomputing;

• •

  SOC architectures, embedded systems and special-purpose architectures;

• •

  temperature, energy, and variability-aware designs;

• •

  system management and security;

• •

  quantum and nanoscale computing;

• •

  computational biology;

• •

  reconfigurable computing and architecture prototyping;

• •

  autonomic and organic computing; and

• •

  computation intelligence frontiers: theory and industrial applications.

Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the HiPEAC journal.

Themes for ECMI 2008

ECMI 2008 will emphasise the role of mathematics as a unique overarching industrial resource. The conference will commence with appreciations of the impact of mathematics-in-industry by leading figures from industry, science and government. Thereafter it will take the form of a research conference which will promote the application of innovative mathematics to industry, interpreted in its broadest sense. Emphasis will be placed on the industrial sectors that offer the most exciting opportunities for mathematicians of all kinds to provide relevant insight and new ideas. Some of the highlighted themes will be: socio-economic interactions, including agent-based modelling, game theory, logistics in the retail sector; medicine and the medical industry, including health systems and planning, surgery, modelling of ageing population, medical devices, patterns in bioinformatics; sport and leisure, including equipment design, strategies, gambling and its regulation, biomechanics; uncertainty and risk, including pension plans, hedge funds, energy options; optimisation and control, including transport systems, sending and communication devices, distributed intelligence; energy, including sustainability, extreme events, interactions on the global scale; traditional industrial sectors such as glass, metals, textiles, food, electronics, automotive and aerospace. Synergies between these themes will be encouraged.
