freebsd user groups - Feb 2007 - CFP - IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization (IISWC 2007)

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

Wrong mail list: freebsd-user-groups@freebsd.org 
user-groups@ is for people starting new BSD user groups etc.

You''d be much better sending your call for papers to 
code developers on current@freebsd.org
