laptops brought by the participants.

REVIEW PROCESS:
Tutorial submissions will be reviewed by the Hot Interconnects 2014

appropriateness and utility for Hot Interconnects tutorial audience,
timeliness and general interest, clarity, completeness, cohesiveness of
the proposal and presentation history and teaching/speaking experience
of the presenters.
