Important Dates
---------------
Submission   :  4 November 1999
Acceptance   :  4 February 2000
Final version: 17 March    2000


Papers are solicited for the 27th Annual International Symposium on
Computer Architecture. Papers are being sought on all aspects of
computer architecture, including (but not limited to) the following:

     ˇ Innovative microarchitecture and implementation techniques

     ˇ Multiprocessors, multicomputers, and distributed architectures

     ˇ Novel architectures and computing techniques

     ˇ Architectural implications of application characteristics

     ˇ Application-specific, embedded or special purpose architectures

     ˇ Performance evaluation and measurement of real systems

     ˇ Memory hierarchy and I/O system architecture

     ˇ Impact of technology on architecture

The DEADLINE for submissions is NOVEMBER 4, 1999 at 10AM EST (US) or
1500 GMT. Authors will be granted an automatic extension of up to one
week (168 hours) without making a special request; no further
extensions will be granted. Please submit one electronic copy of your
paper (in postscript or PDF formatted for letter-size paper), not to
exceed 6000 words, using the submission instructions provided at
www.cs.rochester.edu/~ISCA2k. In order to minimize problems
reviewing your paper, please ensure your postscript file can be
previewed by ghostview. Excessively long papers will be reviewed at
the discretion of the Program Chair and/or the reviewers. Finally, it
is requested that papers not disclose the author's identity, as they
will be reviewed blind. Please contact the Program Chair if you need
any help with the electronic submission procedure. As always, papers
will be judged on their scientific merit and anticipated interest to
conference attendees. It is understood that papers in new areas are
likely to contain less quantitative evaluations and comparisons than
those in more established areas. Papers will be evaluated according to
their novelty, fundamental insights and potential for long-term
contribution.

As in previous years, a series of tutorials and workshops will be held
immediately preceding the symposium. Tutorial and workshop proposals
will be accepted until JANUARY 5, 2000. If you wish to organize a
tutorial (1/2 or full day), please send to the Tutorials Chair (Sarita
Adve, sadve@cs.uiuc.edu) an electronic version of a detailed
proposal, including tutorial title, outline, brief description of
topics to be covered, intended audience, assumed attendee background,
and the name(s), affiliation(s), and resume(s) of the speaker(s). If
you wish to organize a workshop (one or two days), please send to the
Workshops Chair (J.P. Singh, jps@cs.princeton.edu) an electronic
version of a detailed proposal, including workshop title, overview,
intended audience, projected attendance, duration, list of invited
participants, and name(s) and affiliation(s) of the organizer(s). A
limited number of Student Travel Grants will be available for ISCA
2000 for student attendees who are SIGARCH members. Information may be
obtained from the General Chair.
