*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*The 2015 IEEE International Conference on Application-Specific
Architectures, Systems, and Processors (ASAP) *
July 27-29, 2015, Toronto, Canada
www.eecg.toronto.edu/asap2015


*Important Dates:*

Abstract Submission: February 27, 2015
Paper Due: March 6, 2015
Notification: May 15, 2015
Conference: July 27-29, 2015


*Conference Overview:*

The 26th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific
Systems, Architectures and Processors 2015 (ASAP 2015) takes place
July 27-29, 2015 at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada.  The
conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific
systems, architectures and processors. The 2015 conference will build
upon traditional strengths in areas such as computer arithmetic,
cryptography, compression, signal and image processing, network
processing, reconfigurable computing, application-specific
instruction-set processors, and hardware accelerators. We especially
encourage submissions in the following areas:

- Big data analytics: extracting and correlating information from
  large-scale semi-structured and unstructured data using
  application-specific systems.
- Scientific computing: architectures and algorithms that address
  applications requiring significant computing power and customization
  (bioinformatics, climate modeling, astrophysics, seismology, etc.).
- Industrial computing: systems and architectures for providing high-
  throughput or low latency in various industrial computing
  applications.
- System security: cryptographic hardware architectures, security
  processors, countermeasures against side-channel attacks, and secure
  cloud computing.
- Heterogeneous systems: applications and platforms that exploit
  heterogeneous computing resources, including FPGAs, GPUs, or CGRAs.
- Design space exploration: methods for customizing and tuning
  application- specific architectures to improve efficiency and
  productivity.
- Platform-specific architectures: novel architectures for exploiting
  specific compute domains, such as smartphones, tablets, and data
  centers, particularly in the context of energy efficiency.


*Guidelines for Submissions:*

ASAP 2015 will accept 8-page full papers for oral presentations,
4-page short papers for short oral or poster presentations, with a
single-blind review process.

Submissions to ASAP 2015 must use the double-column IEEE conference
proceedings format. The only accepted file format is PDF. An online
submission page will be made available on the ASAP 2015 website and
will include detailed guidelines and links to formatting templates.
