Workshop on Introspective Architecutre

WISA deadline extended by one week, to December 16th

Paper submissions are solicited for the first Workshop on Introspective Architectures, in conjunction with the HPCA-12. Introspective architectures not only perform some computation, but also directly observe and react to how this computation is being performed. Examples of introspective architectures include, but are not limited to:

Self-aware, self-adaptive and self-healing architectures
Monitoring techniques in commercial processors and systems
Support for dynamic verification and software monitoring
Advanced support for software debugging
System-wide performance monitoring and dynamic optimization
Monitoring for power, thermal, error, and switching noise management
Hardware and software techniques for introspective computing
High-availability architectures
Self-reconfigurable architecture
Dependable and reliable architectures
Use of multithreading for introspection
Monitoring and detection of malicious and intrusive activities
Design for dependability and introspection
Architectural support for privacy and integrity protection

The deadline for submissions is December 16th, 2005 at 11:59PM PST. Authors will be notified of the outcome on January 6th, 2006. Please submit one electronic copy to wisa06@cc.gatech.edu in PDF format for letter size paper, not to exceed 8 pages (including references and figures). We encourage submissions from both academia and industry. Accepted papers must be presented in the workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be distributed during the workshop and on the WISA 2006 web page at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/wisa06/.
