 2011 International Workshop on Multi-Core Computing Systems
 (MuCoCoS 2011)

 Seoul, Korea, July 1, 2011, in conjunction with CISIS 2011

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. As a result we are now witnessing the emergence of 
multi-core processors in all markets from laptops and game consoles to 
servers and supercomputers. However, also from the software development 
perspective exploiting the full potential of multi-core computing 
systems is a highly complex and essentially open domain, at the moment 
forcing application developers to deal with numerous low-level details. 
Major research efforts are required to streamline the process of 
software development for multi-core computing systems.
 
Following the successful organization of MuCoCoS 2008 (Barcelona, 
Spain), MuCoCoS 2009 (Fukuoka, Japan), and MuCoCoS 2010 (Krakow, 
Poland), MuCoCoS 2011 will be organized in Seoul (Korea). MuCoCoS 2011 
is aiming to bring together researchers, developers, practitioners, and 
users of multi-core computing systems.

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

- The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
	:: homogenous and heterogeneous multi-core architectures
	:: accelerated multi-core architectures
	:: interconnection networks
	:: multi-core embedded systems
	:: programming languages and models
	:: algorithms for multi-core computing 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.
- Please submit your paper (as PDF) electronically to the online submission 
system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cisis2011).
