Location

Aula Congress Centre, TU Delft The conference will be held from March 10 through 13, 2009 at the Computer Engineering Division of the Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) Faculty at TU Delft, the Netherlands. The TU Delft has one of the leading information technology schools in Europe.

Keynotes

This year, ARCS 2009 also features keynotes from Yale Patt (University of Texas, Austin), Antonio González (Intel and UPC) and Krisztian Flautner (ARM).

Scope

Call for Participation (PDF)

The ARCS series of conferences has over 30 years of tradition reporting top notch results in computer architecture and operating systems research. This year's focus is put on energy awareness viewed from two different perspectives. Firstly, this deals with the improvement of computer systems to be as energy-efficient as possible (particularly for specific applications). One can think of heterogeneous multi-core architectures or reconfigurable architectures for this purpose. Secondly, this addresses the usage of computer systems to reduce the energy consumption of other systems, which might lead to problems of communication and cooperation. Both aspects are relevant for the conference. Like the previous conferences in this series, it continues to be an important forum for computer architecture research.

LNCS The proceedings of ARCS 2009 will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their contributions for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems Architecture. Also, a best paper and a best presentation award will be presented at the conference.

The ARCS 2009 technical program addresses the following topics and sessions:

  • Computer architecture topics such as multi-cores, memory systems, and parallel computing,
  • Compilation Technologies,
  • Adaptive system architectures such as reconfigurable systems in hardware and software,
  • Massively Parallel Architectures,
  • Organic and Autonomic Computing including both theoretical and practical results on self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection techniques,
  • Memory Architectures,
  • Energy-awareness, green computing,
  • Java Processing,
  • Chip-Level Multiprocessing
  • System aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing such as sensor nodes, novel input/output devices, novel computing platforms, architecture modeling, and middleware.

There will be two Workshops and one Tutorial collocated with ARCS 2009:

  • Workshop on Dependability and Fault Tolerance,
  • Workshop on Many Cores,
  • Tutorial from Intel: "The Future: What multi-core means to the developers"

The technical program includes 21 high quality papers (selected from over 60 submissions) and is organized in 9 sessions.
