Call for Papers =============== 22nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems ARCS 2009 ============================================================================ - System Architecture and Energy Awareness - ============================================ held from March, 10th to March 13th in Delft, The Netherlands ============================================================= Extended Submission deadline October 19th =========================================

The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's focus is put on energy awareness viewed from two different perspectives. Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy-efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research.

The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (http://www.springer.com/lncs). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and a best presentation award will be presented at the conference.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers on one of the following topics:

* Energy-awareness, green computing. * Computer architecture topics such as multi-cores, memory systems, and parallel computing. * Adaptive system architectures such as reconfigurable systems in hardware and software. * Operating Systems including but not limited to scheduling, memory management, power management, and RTOS. * System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms, architecture modeling, and middleware. * Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and practical results on self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques. * Embedded systems including but not limited to architecture, communication, design methodologies, and applications. * Network Centric and Grid Computing issues with a focus on middleware.

Submissions should be made through the portal of the conference website (http://www.ida.ing.tu-bs.de/arcs09/?n=2). Papers should be submitted in pdf or postscript format. They should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and not exceed 12 pages.

Proposals for workshops and tutorials within the technical scope of the conference are solicited. Submissions should be made through email directly to the workshops and tutorials chair Jörg Hähner (haehner@sra.uni-hannover.de) .
