Context
-------

- The improvement of the processor performance by increasing the clock
rate has reached its technological limits. Increasing the number of
processor cores rather than clock rate can give better performance and
reduce problems like energy consumption, heat dissipation and design
complexity. We are witnessing the emergence of multi-core processors
in all markets from laptops and game consoles to servers and
supercomputers.

Topics of Interest
------------------

- The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
     > multi-core architectures
     > interconnection networks
     > multi-core embedded systems
     > programming languages and models
     > algorithms for multi-core computing systems
     > applications for multi-core systems
     > performance modeling and evaluation of multi-core systems
     > design space exploration
     > resource usage optimization
     > tool-support for multi-core systems
     > compilers, runtime and operating systems

Submission Guidelines
---------------------

- The papers should be prepared using the IEEE CS format, and no
longer than 6 pages. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated
based on originality, significance to workshop topics, technical
soundness, and presentation quality.
- Submission of the paper implies that should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at
the workshop. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by
IEEE Computer Society Press. The best papers presented at the
workshop will be selected for publication in an international journal.
- The papers should be submitted electronically via CISIS'09 website.
