                          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

                  Submission deadline October 10th

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 energy
awareness viewed from two different ways 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. In 2009 ARCS will be hosted by the Delft University
of Technology, which has one of the leading information
technology schools in Europe. The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will
be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science
(LNCS) series (pending). After the conference, authors of
selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version
of their contribution for publication in a special issue of the
Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and best
presentation award will be presented at the conference.

Paper submission
================
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research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.
