=========================================================================
Overview:

The ARCS conferences series has over 30 years of tradition reporting
leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems.
The focus of the 2021 conference will be on novel computer architectures
to overcome the inefficiencies in general-purpose processors. This includes
hardware architectures, programming models, runtime environments, cross-
sectional topics, and real-world use cases.
The proceedings of ARCS 2021 are planed to be published in the Springer
Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. A best paper and best
presentation award will be presented at the conference. Facing the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, ARCS 2021 will be a virtual conference with live
presentations, live Q&A, and up-to-date opportunities for virtual
socializing.

Submission guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers
via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arcs2021
ARCS 2021 uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must
not identify authors or their affiliation. When citing own work,
it must be done in a neutral form (i.e. avoiding ‘our’, ‘we’,
‘previous work’ etc.). Papers must be submitted in PDF format,
formatted according to Springer LNCS style (see:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
and must not exceed 15 pages, including references and figures.
