The 11th International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-11) will include a special session with short papers on Industrial Perspectives on Challenges for Next-Generation Computer Systems. The objective of this session is to provide a unique forum for systems implementors to provide their perspective on problems that need to be addressed by the research community. The session will include a small number of short papers (approximately 6), selected based on depth and relevance to the HPCA audience.

Designers and developers involved in some aspect of industrial computer systems design and development are invited to submit a short paper describing new challenges, issues, and opportunities that need or can be addressed in the next-generation computer systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Circuit technology: noise, process variation, and memory scaling
• Issues with deeply scaled CMOS
• Design complexity and verification
• Power, energy, and temperature
• Systems reliability
• Implications of software on architecture
• New application domains
• Microarchitecture
• Chip-level parallel systems
• Memory systems
• Storage systems
• Interconnect and network interfaces
• Innovative architectural paradigms
• Innovative hardware/software trade-offs
• Advanced compilation techniques
• Performance evaluation of real machines

Authors are requested to submit their papers for review to the chair, Sanjay Patel (sjp@crhc.uiuc.edu) on or before September 22th, 2004(Extended Deadline). Submissions should be PDF files that do not exceed 3,000 words, as final papers will be limited to 4 double-column pages. Authors will be notified of paper outcome on October 1st, 2004. Accepted papers will be printed in the HPCA Proceedings and the authors will present their work at the conference. Presentations will be posted on the conference website.
