around the following tracks: 
*	Algorithms
*	Applications
*	Computer Architecture
*	Data Venter and Cloud Computing
*	IO, Storage and File Systems
*	Performance, reliability and dependability Modeling
*	Programming Models and Languages
*	Cyberphysical Systems

Important Dates
*	Paper Submission Deadline: February 26, 2016 
*	Author Notification: May 6, 2016
*	Final Manuscript Due: June 3, 2016

Paper Submission
Paper submissions should be formatted according to the CPS standard
double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger. Submissions should
represent original, substantive research results.
