==================================================================
ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers 2014 (CF'14)
May 20 - 22, 2014, Cagliari, Italy

CALL FOR PAPERS

www.computingfrontiers.org
==================================================================


Computing Frontiers represents an engaged, collaborative
community of researchers who are excited about transformational
technologies in the field of computing. We are presently on the
cusp of several revolutions, including new memory technologies,
networking technologies, algorithms for handling large-scale data,
power-saving and energy-efficient solutions for data centers,
systems solutions for cloud computing, and many, many more.
Boundaries between the state-of-the-art and revolutionary innovation
constitute the computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to
advance science, engineering, and information technology.
Before revolutionary materials, devices, and systems enter the
mainstream, early research must be performed using far-reaching
projections of the future state of technologies.

Computing Frontiers is a gathering for people to share and discuss
such work, focusing on a wide spectrum of advanced technologies and
radically new solutions relevant to the development of the whole
spectrum of computer systems, from embedded to high-performance
computing.



KEY DATES
=========

Abstract submission: January 11, 2014
Submissions deadline: January 18, 2014
Notification: February 28, 2014
Camera-Copy Papers Due: March 15, 2014



TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================

We seek contributions that push the envelope in a wide range of
computing topics, ranging from more traditional research in
architecture and systems to new technologies and devices. We seek
contributions on novel computing paradigms, computational models,
algorithms, application paradigms, development environments,
compilers, operating environments, computer architecture,
hardware substrates, and memory technologies. We are also
interested in emerging fields that may not fit within traditional
categories.

* Algorithms and Models of Computing
approximate and inexact computing, quantum and probabilistic
computing

* Big Data
analytics, machine learning, search and representation, system
design

* System Complexity Management
cloud systems, datacenters, computational neuroscience,
biologically-inspired architectures</li>

* Computers and Society
education, health and cost/energy-efficient design, smart cities,
emerging markets

* Security
architecture and systems support for protection against malicious
code

* Limits on Technology Scaling and Moore's Law
defect- and variability-tolerant designs, graphene and other
novel materials, nanoscale design, optoelectronics, dark silicon

* Uses of Technology Scaling
3D stacked technology, challenges of manycore designs,
PCM's, novel memory architectures, mobile devices

* Compiler technologies
novel techniques to push the envelope on new technologies,
applications, hardware/software integrated solutions, advanced
analysis

* Networking
technology and protocols, bandwidth management, social networks,
internet of things
