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.
