IMPORTANT DATES

                        Submission deadline:             November 14, 2011 -CLOSED-      

                        Notification of acceptance:    December 16, 2011

                        Final version due:                   December 23, 2011                

Submission news: Notifications are sent to the authors. 

The main purpose of this workshop is to encourage the submission of work-in-progess in the topics covered by the call, thus providing quick and valuable feedback. As such we do not provide formal proceedigns. We encoruage authors of papers who want to timestamp immediately their idea to forward their paper to HiPEAC tech-report, after presentation at our workshop. Moreover, best papers will be selected and forwarded for possibile pubblication on Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture - JSA. You can download the call for paper here.
