Hot Interconnects is the premier international forum for researchers and
developers of state-of-the-art hardware and software architectures and
implementations for interconnection networks of all scales, ranging from
multi-core on-chip interconnects to those within systems, clusters, data
centers, and clouds. This yearly conference is attended by leaders in
industry and academia. The atmosphere provides for a wealth of
opportunities to interact with individuals at the forefront of this
field.

Themes include cross-cutting issues spanning computer systems,
networking technologies, and communication protocols for
high-performance interconnection networks. This conference is directed
particularly at new and exciting technology and product innovations in
these areas. Contributions should focus on real experimental systems,
prototypes, or leading-edge products and their performance evaluation.

Building on last year’s successful technical program comprising
keynotes, technical sessions, and panels on networking for datacenters
and high-performance computing, the 2013 edition of Hot Interconnects is
generously hosted by Cisco at their Headquarters in San Jose, CA. This
year's conference focuses on the convergence of networking across the
embedded, commercial, data center, and HPC domains. We hope you can join
us there.

We invite paper submissions across a wide range of topics and levels,
ranging from fundamentals to the latest advances in hot topic areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


TOPICS OF INTEREST:

* Novel and innovative interconnect architectures
* Multi-core processor interconnects
* System-on-Chip Interconnects
* Advanced chip-to-chip communication technologies
* Optical interconnects
* Protocol and interfaces for inter-processor communication
* Survivability and fault-tolerance of inter-connects
* High-speed packet processing engines and network processors
* System and storage area network architectures and protocols
* High-performance host-network interface architectures
* High-bandwidth and low-latency I/O
* Pb/s switching and routing technologies
* Innovative architectures for supporting collective communication
* Novel communication architectures to support cloud & grid computing
* Centralized and distributed cloud interconnects
* Requirements driving high-performance inter-connects
* Traffic characterization for HPC systems and commercial data centers
* Software-defined networking and software overlay networks
* Software for network bring-up, configuration and performance
   management (OpenFlow, OpenSM)
* Data Center Networking


SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

* Paper abstract deadline:      April 26, 2013
* Submission deadline:          May 10, 2013
* Notification of acceptance:   June 16, 2013
* Symposium:                    August 21-22, 2013
* Tutorials:                    August 23, 2013

In a change from previous years, this year we invite papers to be
submitted either as regular, long papers (6-8 pages) or as short papers
(3-4 pages). Short papers could be positional papers, industry papers,
or papers describing hot-off-the-press breaking research results, and
will judged accordingly and independently from the regular long papers.

* Papers need sufficient technical detail to judge quality and
   suitability for presentation.
* Submissions should include title, author, abstract, and paper in
   double-column, IEEE format.
* Long paper limit: 8 pages, single-spaced, 2 columns.
* Short paper limit: 4 pages, single-spaced, 2 columns.
* Papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair at
   https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hoti2013
* Paper title and abstract should be submitted by April 26.
* Full paper manuscript should be submitted is by May 10.
* Accepted papers will be published in proceedings by the IEEE Computer
   Society.
* Regular paper presentations are 30-minute talks in a single-track
   conference format.
