CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES - 23 Experimental Research in Computer Architecture KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII - JANUARY 2-5, 1990 Analytic models and simulations notwithstanding, a whole lot of the problems attending a new computer architecture or implementa- tion do not surface until one builds and performs experiments on "real" hardware. It is also the case that even after a system is installed, the real bottlenecks to performance are clarified only when one performs careful measurements on that real system doing real work. The purpose of this minitrack is to bring together people who are building experimental systems to do architecture research, people who are performing experiments on real systems, and people who need the results of such experimentation for their own work. Papers are invited from those that are involved in all aspects of experimental computer architecture research, as described above. We prefer that the resulting minitrack include researchers from government laboratories, industrial research and development centers, and university academicians. We also prefer that the resulting minitrack include hardware designers, system builders, and performance measurement experimenters. The day-long event will include substantial opportunity for interaction between researchers with different perspectives. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of their work to this minitrack are encouraged to discuss this with the minitrack coor- dinator. Those papers selected for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings which are published by the Com- puter Society of the IEEE. HICSS-23 is sponsored by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM, the Computer Society, and the Pacific Research Institute for Information Sciences and Management (PRIISM). INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS: Manuscripts should be 22-26 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length. Do not send submissions which are significantly shorter. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be put through a rigorous refereeing process. Manuscript papers should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name of the author(s), affiliation(s), complete physical and electronic address(es), telephone number(s) and a 300-word abstract of the paper. DEADLINES * A 300-word abstract is due by June 19, 1989 * Feedback to author concerning abstract by June 26, 1989 * Six copies of the manuscript are due by July 15, 1989 * Notification of accepted papers by August 23, 1989 * Accepted manuscripts, camera-ready, due by September 23, 1989 SEND SUBMISSIONS AND QUESTIONS TO THE MINITRACK COORDINATOR Professor Yale N.
