The 42^nd IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD 2024)

ICCD 2024: Call for Special Sessions Proposals

The International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD) encompasses a wide range of topics in the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their critical components. ICCD's multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical work covering computer systems and applications, computer architecture, verification and test, security, electronic design automation tools and methodologies, logical and physical aspects of circuit design, and technology. Researchers both from academia and industry are invited to submit proposals for special sessions. A special session could consist of a set of individual presentations or a panel discussion. The special sessions should aim at providing a complementary experience with respect to the regular sessions. Hence, sessions focusing on hot topics of interest to the community (e.g., blockchains, machine learning techniques and applications, accelerators, hardware and software security, open-source design infrastructure, and quantum computing etc.) that may also go beyond disciplines traditionally represented at ICCD are particularly welcome.

Special Sessions will be 90-minute sessions embedded within the main programme of ICCD.

Submission details:

A single PDF file including the following information needs to be submitted:

• Title of special session
• Rationale of the need for the special session. The rationale should stress the novelty of the topic and/or its multidisciplinary flavor, and must explain how it is different from the subjects covered by the topics of the regular tracks
• Short biography of the organizer(s)
• List of contributed presentations. For each presentation, you need to submit
  • Title of the presentation
  • Abstract of the presentation
  • Contact information of the corresponding presenter
• For panel proposals, list the panelists and their areas of expertise.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceeding, following the camera-ready guideline. At least one author is required to have full speaker registration.

Proposals are due before July 15, 2024 11:59PM (AoE) and must be submitted through Easychair (Special Sessions Track)
