CF 2014 - ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers 2014

Computing Frontiers represents an engaged, collaborative community of researchers who are excited about transformational technologies in the field of computing. We are presently on the cusp of several revolutions, including new memory technologies, networking technologies, algorithms for handling large-scale data, power-saving and energy-efficient solutions for data centers, systems solutions for cloud computing, and many, many more. Boundaries between the state-of-the-art and revolutionary innovation constitute the computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to advance science, engineering, and information technology. Before revolutionary materials, devices, and systems enter the mainstream, early research must be performed using far-reaching projections of the future state of technologies.
Computing Frontiers is a gathering for people to share and discuss such work, focusing on a wide spectrum of advanced technologies and radically new solutions relevant to the development of the whole spectrum of computer systems, from embedded to high-performance computing.
Topics of Interest
We seek contributions that push the envelope in a wide range of computing topics, ranging from more traditional research in architecture and systems to new technologies and devices. We seek contributions on novel computing paradigms, computational models, algorithms, application paradigms, development environments, compilers, operating environments, computer architecture, hardware substrates, and memory technologies. We are also interested in emerging fields that may not fit within traditional categories.
