CF 2014 - International Conference on Computing Frontiers

The increasing complexity, performance, cost and energy efficiency needs of current and future applications require novel and innovative approaches to computing. Boundaries between state of the art and revolutionary innovation constitute the computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to provide the support required for the advancement of computer science, engineering and information technology. The Computing Frontiers conference focuses on a wide spectrum of advanced methodologies, technologies and radically new solutions relevant to the development of the whole spectrum of computing over the next few decades. The goals of the meeting range over from embedded to high-performance computing.
We seek contributions on novel algorithms, computing paradigms, computational models, application paradigms, computer architecture, development environments, compilers, or operating environments. In recognition of the maturation of several exciting areas at the frontiers, this year, we are soliciting papers in thematic tracks in addition to the general track. The topics of these tracks listed below are suggestive and authors are invited to submit their papers in the track that they believe matches their interests the best. In case the authors prefer not to submit to any of the thematic tracks, they are invited to submit their papers for review through the general track. The program committee has identified the following tracks for CF2014. In each track, a few key words identifying suggested topics for research are listed below. These topics are not meant to be exhaustive but instead, are broadly indicative of the range topics being considered.
