CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES HICSS- 25 KAUAI, HAWAII - JANUARY 7-10, 1992 HIGH PERFORMANCE SPECIAL PURPOSE ARCHITECTURES The Architecture Track of the 25th Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS-25) promises to be an exciting international forum for advances in many areas of computer architecture. A mini-track, dealing explicitly with high performance special purpose accelerators has been organised. High Performance Special Purpose Architectures are an active area of of research in computer architecture. They offer promising possibilities for solving computationally expensive applications without the need for expensive super computers. They encompass specially designed computer architectures as well as specifically configured multiprocessors which match a given problem's structure. Examples are architectures for solving finite element computations, dsp multiprocessors, AI processors, encryption architectures, etc. This sub-track provides an opportunity for researchers to present current results and exchange information at a personal level. Papers are invited that may be practical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those papers selected for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings, which are published by the Computer Society of the IEEE. HICSS-25 is sponsored by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Pacific Research Institute for Information Systems and Management (PRIISM). Submissions are solicited on the following topics: * Architecture and performance of application specific accelerators * Specially configured multi-processors and interconnects * Reconfiguable architectures * Software for high performance accelerators * Design methodologies * Target applications INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS Manuscripts should be 22-25 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length. Please do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer than this. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be subjected to a rigorous refereeing process. Manuscripts should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of author(s), affiliation(s), complete postal and electronic mail address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300-word abstract of the paper. DEADLINES * A 300-word abstract is due by April 15, 1991. * Feedback to author concerning abstract by April 30, 1991. * Six copies of the manuscript are due by June 5, 1991. * Notification of accepted papers by August 30, 1991. * Accepted manuscripts, camera-ready, are due by October 1, 1991.
