Initial submissions due: 8 September 2009 (no extensions)
Publications date: January/February 2010
IEEE Micro will publish its yearly "Micro's Top Picks from the Computer Architecture Conferences" as its January/February 2010 issue. This issue collects some of this year’s most significant research papers in computer architecture based on novelty and long-term impact.
Any computer architecture paper published in the top conferences of 2009 (including MICRO-42) is eligible.
To simplify reviewing, there is a mandatory format for submissions. Please submit a three-page, two-column document using 10-point type. The first two pages should summarize the paper. The third page should argue for the potential for the work to have long term impact. Top Picks will recognize those significant and insightful papers that have the potential to influence the work of computer architects for years to come. Submissions that do not follow this format (at most two pages for the summary and one page for the significance) will not be reviewed. The document should contain the names of the authors. A footnote should contain the title of the original conference paper, with the full name of the conference, page numbers, and date of publication. Please also include a Web address where the conference paper is posted. Authors will receive further instructions upon acceptance.
Submission instructions will be posted online soon.
