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

The increasing complexity and performance needs of current and future
applications require novel and innovative approaches for design of
various types of computing systems: embedded, mobile,
high-performance, and more. Boundaries between state of the art and
revolutionary innovation constitute the computing frontiers that must
be pushed forward to provide the computational support required for
the advancement of science and engineering. The Computing Frontiers
conference focuses on a wide spectrum of advanced technologies and
radically new solutions relevant to development of computer systems.

Authors are invited to submit full papers and poster papers on all
areas of innovative computing systems that extend the current
frontiers of computer science and engineering. Submissions are sought
on innovations in theory, methodologies, technologies, and
implementation of advanced computer systems. These may focus on
computing paradigms, computational models, application paradigms,
computer architecture, development environments, compilers, or
operating environments. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to,
the following areas:

- Applications, programming models and performance analysis
of advanced architectures;
- Next-generation high performance computing and systems;
- Mobile computing: applications, wireless, platforms, systems,
and interaction with clouds;
- Accelerators: many-core, GPU, custom, reconfigurable, embedded,
and hybrid;
- Active libraries, domain-specific languages and generative
techniques;
- Defect and variability-tolerant designs;
- Power and energy efficiency: architectures, compilers and
algorithms;
- Virtualization and virtual machines;
- Cloud-, internet-scale, service-oriented and smart infrastructure
computing;
- Compilers and operating systems: adaptive, run-time, and
auto-tuning;
- System management and security;
- Quantum and nano-scale computing;
- Computational neuroscience, neuromorphic and biologically-inspired
architectures;
- Novel frontiers in computational science and scientific data
repositories;
- Computational aspects of intelligent systems and robotics;
- Reconfigurable, autonomic, organic, and self-organizing
computation and systems;
- Interfaces and visualization for emerging applications and systems:
displays, VR, and haptics.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format through the
conference web site. Submitted papers must not exceed 10 double-column
pages in standard ACM conference format, including figures, tables,
and references. Delft University of Technology will present a best
paper award dedicated to the memory of Stamatis Vassiliadis. As per
ACM guidelines, at least one of the authors of accepted papers is
required to register for the conference. Poster papers should not
exceed 2 double-column pages in standard ACM conference format,
including figures, tables, and references. Additional submission
guidelines will be available on the conference web site.

Selected papers will be invited to be extended for a special issue
of the Springer International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP).
