CALL FOR PAPERS
2008 ACM International Conference on
Computing Frontiers
May 5 - 7, 2008, Ischia, Italy
Sponsored by ACM - SIGMICRO
GENERAL CHAIR
Alex Ramirez, UPC, ES
The increasing needs of present and future computation-intensive applications have
stimulated research in new and innovative approaches to the design and implementation of
high-performance computing systems. These boundaries between state of the art and
