IISWC-2020

October 27 – October 29, 2020

 To be held virtually


 

CALL FOR PAPERS [PDF]

 

 

IISWC invites manuscripts that present original unpublished research in all areas related to characterization and analysis of computing system workloads, including translational research related to production-oriented commercial systems. Work focusing on emerging technologies and interdisciplinary work are especially welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Characterization of applications in traditional and emerging domains, characterization of system software and middleware, implications of workloads in system design, benchmarking methodologies and suites, and tools for computer systems. A detailed list of the topics can be found at the end of this CFP.

Deadlines

Submission Deadline : July 10, 2020 (No Extension)

Decision Notification : Aug 24, 2020

Camera-ready deadline : Sep 15, 2020

New in 2020

This year, submissions to IISWC can be made in one of the following two categories: (1) regular papers (2) tool and benchmark papers. The primary focus of "regular papers" should be to describe new research ideas supported by experimental implementation and evaluation of the proposed research ideas. The primary focus of "tool and benchmarks papers" should be to describe the design, development, and evaluation of new open-source tools / benchmarks suites. Submissions in the "regular papers" category are also encouraged to open-source their software or hardware artifacts.

Submission guidelines and evaluation criterion:

The authors are required to indicate the category of the paper as a part of the submitted manuscript's title. The last line of the title should indicate the paper type by using one of the two phrases (1) Paper Type: Regular, or (2) Paper Type: Tool / Benchmark.

Papers in the tool and benchmark category with relatively shorter length (6 pages) are welcome, if the contributions can be well articulated and substantiated in 6 pages. However, all submissions in the tool and benchmark category have the flexibility of using all 10 pages (excluding references), similar to the regular category papers.

The submissions in both categories will be evaluated to the same standards in terms of novelty, scientific value, demonstrated usefulness, and potential impact on the field. The nature of the contribution differs between the two categories (new research idea vs. new open-source benchmark-suite / tool) and papers will be evaluated based on the intended nature of the contribution, as declared by the chosen paper category at the time of the submission. The chosen category at the time of the submission can not be changed after the submission deadline.

Double-blind submission guidelines apply to the submissions in both categories.

Open-source benchmarks and tools that have not been previously published (but may have been open-sourced) are eligible for submission in the "tool and benchmark papers" category. Even in cases where the benchmarks suite/tool is already being used in the community, the authors should demonstrate a good faith effort to adhere to the double-blind submission guidelines. All submitted papers should have obtained legal permission (if applicable) to open-source the benchmark-suite / tool at the time of submission.
