ARCS 2018
31st International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems

Call for Papers and Workshops / Tutorials


Scope
-----
The ARCS conferences series has over 30 years of tradition reporting 
leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. 
The focus of the 2018 conference will be on architectures for robotics, 
autonous vehicles, and automation systems.

ARCS 2018 will be organized by the Chair for Chip Design for Embedded 
Computing (C3E) at TU Braunschweig.

The proceedings of ARCS 2018 will be published in the Springer Lecture 
Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. After the conference, it is 
planned that the authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an 
extended version of their contribution for publication in a special 
issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and 
best presentation award will be presented at the conference.


Call for Papers:
----------------
Paper submission: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished 
research papers on one or more of the following topics:

     * Architectures
 	+ Multi/many-core architectures, memory systems, and
 	  interconnection networks
 	+ Generic and application-specific architectures such as
 	  reconfigurable systems in hardware and software
 	+ Cyber-physical systems and distributed computing
           architectures
 	+◦Robust and fault-tolerant systems structures
 	+ Architectures for robotics, autonomous vehicles, and
 	  automation systems
 	+ Post-Moore Architectures, including but not limited to quantum
 	  and neuromorphic computing

     * Programming models and Runtime environments
 	+ Programming models, runtime systems, and middleware support
 	  for many-core and/or heterogeneous computing platforms
 	+ Operating Systems including but not limited to scheduling,
 	  memory management, power management, and RTOS

     * Tool environments
 	+ Design methods and tools for real-time embedded systems
 	+ Tool support for performance optimization, debugging, and
 	  verification

     * Cross-sectional topics
 	+ Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and
 	  practical results on self-organization, self-configuration,
 	  self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques
 	+ Energy- and power-aware computing, including green computing
 	  topics
 	+ System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as
 	  sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms,
 	  architecture modeling, and middleware
 	+ Applications of embedded and cyber-physical systems
 	+ Autonomous and reasoning platforms
 	+ High-performance computing
 	+ Approximate computing
