=================================================================

       
The increasing needs of present and future computation-intensive
applications have stimulated research in new and innovative approaches
to the design and implementation of high-performance computing systems.
These boundaries between state of the art and innovation constitute the
computing frontiers that must be pushed forward to provide the
computational support required for the advancement of all science
domains and applications. This conference focuses on a wide spectrum of
advanced technologies and radically new solutions; it is designed to
foster communication among many scientific and technological disciplines.

The conference program includes papers on all areas of innovative
computing systems that extend the current frontiers of
computer science and engineering and that will provide
advanced systems for current and future applications.

Selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will
be made available in the ACM Digital Library.  In addition, selected
papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the HiPEAC journal.

**** A Snapshot into the Future, New FP7 Computing Systems Projects ****

In the era of the multi- and many-core, new challenges such as power 
appear in tandem with new opportunities in heterogeneous, reconfigurable 
and parallel computing. The solutions for this new era should be 
scalable from embedded systems all the way to high-performance computing 
platforms. Nanoscale manufacturing processes increase the relevance of 
reliability and availability while the future appearance of tens or 
hundreds of cores on a single chip move programmability to center stage, 
i.e. how to extract the full potential of multicore hardware.

The European Commission has highlighted the above issues in its first 
Information and Communication Technologies Call of the Seventh Framework 
Programme under the Computing Systems objective. We will devote a 
special session to the Computing Systems projects accepted for funding 
under this first call. This will be the first time when all these 
projects will appear together in a public forum with a global relevance, 
offering a unique opportunity of a detailed exposure into the future of 
EU research in Computing Systems.

The special session will take place on May 6th.
