This year, CF will also feature a Special Session on Collaborative Projects, focusing on the conference’s key topics. We welcome submissions from collaborative research initiatives funded by agencies worldwide—including the EU, DARPA, IARPA, DOE, ESA, NASA, and others. The goal of this session is to enhance the visibility of ongoing research and development efforts, foster collaboration across institutions, and provide a platform to discuss future research directions and partnership opportunities. Newly accepted projects are also encouraged to participate and will be invited for a short presentation.
Topics of Interest
We invite original research contributions in (but not limited to) the following areas:
– Novel computational models and algorithms
– Emerging application paradigms
– Computer architectures (from embedded systems to HPC)
– Innovative hardware and memory technologies
– Networking and storage systems
– Compiler design and runtime environments
Given your expertise in these fields, we warmly invite you to contribute by submitting a paper. The conference accepts long papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages), following the ACM two-column format.
Collaborative Project Submissions
