Therefore, disk I/O and data storage on which data resides have changed their role from "secondary" with respect to CPU to primary importance in today's information world. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on parallel and distributed data storage technologies. By discussing this ongoing research, the workshop will expose participants to the most recent development of networked data. The topics covered include but not limited to o Network Attached Storages (NAS) and Storage Area Networks (SAN) o Fibre Channel Network technology o IP Storage and iSCSI o Infiniband Technology o Parallel I/O architectures o Data caching and File Systems o Performance and availability evaluation of storage architectures o Manageability, Scalability, and availability issues of data storages o Storage management software o Data security and reliability Important dates: Paper submission: June 16th Notification of acceptance: July 14th Final Camera-ready paper: September 1st Submissions Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract no longer than 4 pages for consideration. Submissions should be viewable by Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 3.0 or higher). Accepted papers must be no longer than 8 single-spaced pages (including figures, references, and appendices) using 12pt font. Submit one electronic copy of the abstract in PDF format via email to SNAPI@ele.uri.edu by June 16th. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by July 14th, and camera-ready papers will be due by September 1st. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, included in a proceeding booklet that will be distributed at the workshop, and made available online.

The conference is held once a year in August on the Stanford University campus in the center of the world's capital of electronics activity, Silicon Valley. The emphasis this year, as in previous years, is on real products and realizable technology. Topics of interest for this year's conference include but are not limited to: * Microprocessors * Systems-on-chip * Embedded processors * Low-power chips * Digital signal processors * Performance evaluation * Dynamic power management * Application-specific processors * Network/security processors * Novel chips: quantum computing, microarray * Graphics/Multimedia/Game processors * Communication/networking chips * Wireless LAN/Wireless WAN chips * Reliability and design for test * Compiler technology * Operating system/chip interaction * Reconfigurable processors * Advanced semiconductor process technology Presentations at HOT Chips are in the form of 30-minute talks. Presentation slides will be published in the HOT Chips Proceedings. Participants are not required to submit written papers, but a select group will be invited to submit a paper for inclusion in a special issue of IEEE Micro. Submissions must consist of a title, extended abstract (three pages maximum), and the presenter's contact information (name, affiliation, job title, address, phone, fax, and email). Please indicate whether you have submitted, intend to submit or have already presented or published a similar or overlapping submission to another conference or journal. Also indicate if you would like the submission to be held confidential; we do our best to maintain confidentiality. Submissions are evaluated by the Program Committee on the basis of the performance of the device (for devices), degree of innovation, use of advanced technology, potential market significance and anticipated interest to the audience. Research and software contributions will be evaluated with similar criteria. Authors will be notified of the status of their submission by the end of April, 2003. Don't miss this chance to present your work to an audience of engineers, computer architects, and computer system and device researchers. Submissions must be received no later than March 15, 2003. Please make your submissions in plain ascii text (in the message, not as an attachment) to: hotchips-submission@arith.stanford.edu (Submissions containing figures may be submitted in pdf, but plain ascii is preferred.) For more information, see the Hot Chips 15 Web site at: http://www.hotchips.org Send questions to hotchips@arith.stanford.edu or contact the co-program chairs: Prof. Michael Flynn at flynn@ee.stanford.edu, or Pradeep K. Dubey at pdubey@broadcom.com, 408-922-5904.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for educators to discuss and share their experiences and teaching philosophy. The goal is for participants to come away from the workshop with new ideas on delivering courses in computer architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. Topics of Interest New approaches to introductory courses Hardware tools Advanced courses Simulators and other software tools New curricula Teaching embedded systems National differences in curricula Prototyping Interdepartmental issues (CS/ECE) Visualization aids Distance education VLSI design packages Active learning Web-based materials Industrial support for teaching Textbook development Encouraging students to do research Textbook selection Encouraging students to pursue the PhD Integration of research into teaching The workshop format will ample time for discussion as well as presentations of invited and refereed papers. Submission of Contributions Interested authors should submit an extended abstract (not to exceed 4 pages) or a full paper (not to exceed 8 pages, with a minimum font size of 10 points) to Edward F. Gehringer e-mail: efg@ncsu.edu Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering North Carolina State University Box 7256 Raleigh, NC 27695-7256 +1 919 515-2066 Extended abstracts may be submitted for feedback, but the full paper will be needed by April 30. Electronic submission is required, preferably as a PDF attachment to an e-mail message. Industry Participation We encourage participation by book publishers, computer manufacturers, software vendors, or companies which develop or market products used in the delivery of computer architecture education. Any company interested in participating in the workshop should contact the organizer at the address above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ISCA 2003 The thirtieth International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) will be held at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego 9-11 June, 2003.
