                  Huawei North America Headquarters
                       Santa Clara, California
                          August 24-26, 2016

=======================================================================

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,
datacenters, 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.
Additional topics of interest are listed below.

Building on last year's successful technical program, keynotes,
sessions, and panels on datacenter networking, requirements, and
solutions, in 2016 Hot Interconnects will be held at the Huawei North
America Headquarters in Santa Clara, CA. This year's conference focuses
on data-center, virtualized, and cloud networking. We hope you can join
us there.

    suitability for presentation.
 * Submissions should include title, author, abstract, and be formatted
    according to the two-column IEEE conference style guidelines.
 * 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=hoti24
 * Paper title and abstract must be submitted by the abstract deadline.
 * Full paper manuscript must be submitted by the paper deadline.
 * Presentations are 30 minutes in a single-track conference format.
