Workshop Agenda
6 high quality papers plus a keynote by RIKEN's Advanced Institute for Computational Science Director of Operations and Computer Technologies Division, Fumiyoshi Shoji make for an exciting day for FTXS 2016!
Submission Essential Information
Submissions are expected in the following categories:
Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the art and experience papers discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale systems, including some form of analysis and evaluation
Extended abstracts proposing disruptive ideas in the field, including some form of preliminary results
Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and given shorter oral presentations.
Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of a maximum of eight (8) pages for normal papers and four (4) to six (6) pages for extended abstracts. Please follow the US Letter guidelines for ACM Proceedings Style.
Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the IEEE digital library. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
