Call for Papers
The future of computing systems is inevitably embracing a heterogeneous and composable pattern: from clusters of computers to pools of resources that can be dynamically combined together and tailored around applications requirements. Transitioning to this new paradigm requires ground-breaking research ranging from new hardware architectures up to new models and abstractions at all levels of the software stack. The HCDS workshop brings together the expertise of researchers and developers from academia and industry on all aspects of composable systems design, management and use. Papers are solicited from the areas, including, but not limited to:

Hardware and Prototyping
- Novel composable systems architectures (e.g., CXL based)
- Composable system prototypes and proof-of-concept
- Interconnect technologies (such as CXL)
- Memory pooling, and memory disaggregation

Modeling and Evaluation
- Heterogeneous Composable Systems simulation
- Characterization of heterogeneous composable systems from the perspective of performance, energy consumption and reliability
- New algorithms and performance models to manage and use HCDS
- Memory pooling, and memory disaggregation

System software and programming models/tools
- Operating system designs to support HCDS, such as memory profiling methods, page migration and allocation, and huge pages
- Control plane software and runtime systems for management of composable systems
- Programming models for heterogeneous composable memory
- Analysis / profiling tools and techniques for composable systems
- Virtualization for composable heterogeneous systems

Applications and Use cases
- Use cases for heterogeneous composable systems, such as (but not limited to) deep-learning inference and scientific applications

Submission Instructions
Each manuscript will be evaluated with a double-blind review process. Authors must omit at submission time their names or any information that can disclose their identity. Manuscripts must not exceed 4-pages including figures and tables but excluding references. All manuscripts must use the sigconf ACM conference style. It is also expected that all accepted papers will be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.
The workshop proceedings will be published on Arxiv and further instructions on camera ready submission will be given in due time.
