Dear colleague, We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization IISWC 2007 September 2007, Boston, MA, USA Web site: http://www.iiswc.org This symposium is dedicated to the understanding and characterization of workloads which run on all types of computer systems. New applications and programming paradigms continue to emerge as the use of computers becomes more widespread and more sophisticated. Improving process and communication technology, innovations in microarchitecture, compilers, and virtual machine technology are also changing the nature of problems that are being solved by computing systems. Whether they are PDAs, wireless and embedded systems at the low end or massively parallel systems at the high end, the design of tomorrow's computing machines can be significantly improved through the knowledge and ability to simulate the workload expected to run on them. Important dates --------------- Abstract submission: March 12, 2007 Paper submissions: March 19, 2007 Acceptance Notification: May 28, 2007 Topics of Interest ------------------ Papers are solicited in all areas related to characterization of computing system workload. Topics of interest to participants in the symposium include (but are not limited to): * Characterization of applications in areas like o Search engines, E-commerce, Web server, Database, and Multi-tier applications o Embedded, Mobile, Multimedia, 3d-Graphics, Gaming, Telepresence o Life Sciences, Bio-informatics, Scientific Computing o Security, Reliability, Biometrics * Characterization of OS, Virtual Machines, Middleware and Library Behavior o VMs, Websphere, .NET, Java VM, CLI o Graphics libraries, scientific libraries * Characterization of system behavior, including o Operating system and hypervisor effects o Effects due to virtualization and dynamic optimization o Failures, availability, and reliability * Implications of workload in design issues, such as o Processors, memory hierarchy, I/O, and networks o Hardware accelerators (GPGPU, XML, crypto, etc.) o Power management, reliability, security * Benchmark creation issues, including o Multithreaded benchmarks o Profiling, trace collection, synthetic traces o Validation of benchmarks * Abstract modeling of program behavior COMMITTEES General Chair ------------- Mauricio Breternitz, Intel Program Chairs -------------- Anand Sivasubramaniam, Penn State University David Christie, AMD Workshop/Tutorials Chair ------------------------ Wei W.
