======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================================= 21st International Symposium on High Performance Interconnects HotI 2013 =======================================================================
Cisco Headquarters San Jose, California August 21-23, 2013 ======================================================================= Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/HotiConference ======================================================================= ========================== DEADLINE EXTENSION ========================= * Paper abstract deadline: May 10, 2013 * Submission deadline: May 17, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2013 ======================================================================= Hot Interconnects is the premier international forum for researchers and developers of state-of-the-art hardware and software architectures and implementations for interconnection networks of all scales, ranging from multi-core on-chip interconnects to those within systems, clusters, data centers, and clouds. This yearly conference is attended by leaders in industry and academia. The atmosphere provides for a wealth of opportunities to interact with individuals at the forefront of this field. Themes include cross-cutting issues spanning computer systems, networking technologies, and communication protocols for high-performance interconnection networks. This conference is directed particularly at new and exciting technology and product innovations in these areas. Contributions should focus on real experimental systems, prototypes, or leading-edge products and their performance evaluation. Building on last year’s successful technical program comprising keynotes, technical sessions, and panels on networking for datacenters and high-performance computing, the 2013 edition of Hot Interconnects is generously hosted by Cisco at their Headquarters in San Jose, CA. This year's conference focuses on the convergence of networking across the embedded, commercial, data center, and HPC domains. We hope you can join us there. We invite paper submissions across a wide range of topics and levels, ranging from fundamentals to the latest advances in hot topic areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: TOPICS OF INTEREST: * Novel and innovative interconnect architectures * Multi-core processor interconnects * System-on-Chip Interconnects * Advanced chip-to-chip communication technologies * Optical interconnects * Protocol and interfaces for inter-processor communication * Survivability and fault-tolerance of inter-connects * High-speed packet processing engines and network processors * System and storage area network architectures and protocols * High-performance host-network interface architectures * High-bandwidth and low-latency I/O * Pb/s switching and routing technologies * Innovative architectures for supporting collective communication * Novel communication architectures to support cloud & grid computing * Centralized and distributed cloud interconnects * Requirements driving high-performance inter-connects * Traffic characterization for HPC systems and commercial data centers * Software-defined networking and software overlay networks * Software for network bring-up, configuration and performance management (OpenFlow, OpenSM) * Data Center Networking SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: * Paper abstract deadline: May 10, 2013 * Submission deadline: May 17, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: June 16, 2013 * Symposium: August 21-22, 2013 * Tutorials: August 23, 2013 In a change from previous years, this year we invite papers to be submitted either as regular, long papers (6-8 pages) or as short papers (3-4 pages). Short papers could be positional papers, industry papers, or papers describing hot-off-the-press breaking research results, and will judged accordingly and independently from the regular long papers. * Papers need sufficient technical detail to judge quality and suitability for presentation. * Submissions should include title, author, abstract, and paper in double-column, IEEE format. * Long paper limit: 8 pages, single-spaced, 2 columns. * Short paper limit: 4 pages, single-spaced, 2 columns. * Papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hoti2013 * Paper title and abstract should be submitted by April 26. * Full paper manuscript should be submitted is by May 10. * Accepted papers will be published in proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society. * Regular paper presentations are 30-minute talks in a single-track conference format.
