Call for Papers

---------------

This symposium is dedicated to the understanding and characterization

of workloads that run on all types of computing systems. New

applications and programming paradigms continue to emerge as the

diversity and performance of computers increase. On the one hand,

computing workloads evolve and change with advances in

microarchitecture, compilers, programming languages, and

networking/communication technologies. On the other hand, improvements

in computing technology are usually based on a solid understanding and

analysis of existing workloads. Whether they are PDAs, wireless and

embedded systems at the low end or massively parallel systems at the

high end, the design of future computing machines can be significantly

improved if we understand the characteristics of the workloads that

are expected to run on them.

 

We solicit papers in all areas related to characterization of

computing system workloads. Topics of interest include (but are not

limited to):

 

@ Characterization of applications in areas including

  o Search engines, e-commerce, web services, databases,

    file/application servers

  o Embedded, mobile, multimedia, real-time, 3D-Graphics, gaming,

    telepresence

  o Life sciences, bioinformatics, scientific computing

  o Security, reliability, biometrics

@ Characterization of OS, Virtual Machine, middleware and library

  behavior

  o Virtual machines, Websphere, .NET, Java VM, databases

  o Graphics libraries, scientific libraries

@ Characterization of system behavior, including

  o Operating system and hypervisor effects and overheads

  o Effects due to virtualization and dynamic optimization

  o Hardware accelerators (GPGPU, XML, crypto, etc)

  o Failures, availability, and reliability

  o User behavior and system-user interaction

  o Instrumentation methodologies for workload verification and

    characterization

  o Techniques for accurate analysis/measurement of production systems

@ Implications of workloads in design issues, such as

  o Power management, reliability, security, performance

  o Processors, memory hierarchy, I/O, and networks

@ Benchmark creation, analysis, and evaluation issues, including

  o Multithreaded benchmarks

  o Profiling, trace collection, synthetic traces

  o Validation of benchmarks

@ Abstract modeling of program behavior

@ Emerging and future workloads

  o Transactional memory workloads; workloads for multi/many-core

    systems

  o Stream-based computing workloads; web2.0/internet workloads

 

Special Feature: Benchmark Session 

----------------------------------

IISWC will include a special benchmark session.  Authors are invited

to submit C, C++, Java, or C# code and inputs to this code for

possible inclusion in a benchmark set that IISWC is making available

to researchers. A paper must also be submitted explaining the

benchmark and its relevance to its user community. Papers accompanying

selected benchmarks will be presented at a special session to be held

during the conference. Please contact the Benchmark Chair if you are

interested in submitting a paper for this special session.

 

Submission instructions will be made available at

http://www.iiswc.org/ <http://www.iiswc.org/> .
